Room 5 students went on a hazard hunt around their school grounds wearing their Black Thinking Hats to investigate potential dangers or obstacles. They recorded hazards they found such as open gates, clutter, and broken or uneven surfaces that could cause trips and falls. After completing their investigation of the playground and other areas, the students returned to class to share the hazards they identified during their safety inspection.
