switched on fun and electric learning

about being safe with Electricity and Gas.

By Year 4, Harvest Christian School, Kadina, South Australia, 2009.

Our goal this year was to LEARN about being safe with Electricity and Gas, while having FUN.

What could be more fun than Drama? But we had to do it well with such a serious

message. So we set our minds to learn, apply,

adapt…all within a dynamic process of Drama creation and response to feedback…

We visited some kitchens!!!

We used blue cellophane for the water so that we could drop appliances in the sink and they would not

really get wet!

...and then tried to squeeze in even more tips!!!

But it all helped us to learn!

My part in the play was the Origin Energy person who came to fix the leak in the hose on the gas BBQ - Heidi

I helped to roll up the long extension cord that was lying under the mat - Jess

We showed them what to do when the power goes out. We turned off the switches, pulled out the plugs by the round bit, and then checked the fuse box - Jason.

I was a school girl with Rachael. I was 16 and Rachael was 15. Jessica dropped the kettle in the ‘sink’, and I said, “No, don’t touch it!” - Kyra.

My part was to ring Origin Energy for advice - Ebonee.

You’ve been a wonderful audience!!!
