NASTY ACCIDENTS

4A, Our next Stellar unit is on the above theme. This is a serious topic. Yesterday we viewed a safety video for children. We were introduced to a lot of words and phrases related to accidents and road safety in the road. You have just watched a short video clip on a terrible accident involving a car and school bus. How did you feel? Look at the damage caused....what do you think has happened to the victims in the car and the passengers in the bus? Post your thoughts here. I would want to show you some images of accidents on the road and the injuries of victims. Some of you may not like what you see. You may not wish to see it. For those of you who see the pictures, I hope you understand the pain and the despair the victims go through. None of us would want to be in their shoes...
