Today we're going to find out all about keeping safe near the water.
That organisation is called the RNLI.
The RNLI is a charity, made up of many volunteers – volunteering means to do something helpful without expecting or receiving a reward or getting paid.
Have you heard of the RNLI from trips to the beach / seaside?
Perhaps you have even visited a lifeboat station?
Questions
What do you notice about the volunteers and what they are wearing. Why do they think they are wearing the kit they are? Explain that lifeboat crew and lifeguards need specially designed kit to ensure they are dry, warm and visible when they are rescuing people. The materials the clothes are made from need to be warm and waterproof.
In your books, write a range of words or sentences describing the work the RNLI do and why it is important.
Below is a template if you'd like.

All groups – Big Maths CLIC sheet, this sheet is not timed and children will sometimes need help reading the questions. When doing the Big Maths Addition Sheet this week I would once again like all children to ask a parent to time them doing this sheet. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you, you are making a record of the time so that you can assess yourself on your mental recall of addition facts over the next few weeks. Please let us know how you get on!
Extension challenge - only do this if you are able to complete all 17 answers correctly on the timed addition sheet above in 2 minutes or less.
Topic
Ask
Use slides 2–4 to explain that lifeguards keep watch along certain beaches to help keep visitors safe. They watch the sea conditions and put out flags to tell visitors where and when it is safe to enter the water.
Slides 5–9 show the main flags you would expect to see on a UK beach try to answer the questions
Now look at slides 10 - 17
Talk to an adult about what you can see in each picture - which flag do you think the lifeguard should put out?
Try to explain your answer and offer a reason for your thinking (e.g. I can tell it is windy because the lady cannot open her umbrella).
Now colour in the different flags that the Lifeguards might put up.
Test you skills and see if you can identify all the dangers on the beach
