Make a splash with water safety education that's as enjoyable as it is informative! Introducing our brand-new child-friendly water safety resource video, starring the one and only Oscar the Otter as your trusty guide, brought to you by the generosity of Inclusion 2024.
Why Oscar, you ask? Well, he's not just any otter—he's the fun-loving, friendly, clever, and downright funny choice of the pupils from Wilson Stuart lead inclusion school. These pupils know a thing or two about what makes learning a splash, and they've chosen Oscar to lead the way!
Embark on an adventure with Oscar as he navigates through various water-themed sceneries. Oscar visually demonstrates how much fun water can be whilst explaining the importance of following the water safety code in a way that's easy for children to grasp, ensuring that children know how to stay safe when they are in, on or around water.
Trust Oscar to make learning water safety knowledge a breeze, with a corresponding lesson plan and activity sheets, Oscar makes the delivery of consistent key water safety messaging to teachers, families and children alike simple yet fun.
Get ready to follow Oscar’s lead and always follow the water safety code!
