Today we welcomed Charlie and Evo, two of the local RNLI lifeguards, to our assembly.

They told us how to stay safe on our visits to the beach, reminding us of the system of flags used by the RNLI on beaches patrolled by lifeguards: red and yellow - safe area for swimming and body boards; black and white - area for surfing and kayaks; and red - unsafe to enter the water. 

They instructed us how to cope if we get caught in a rip tide: stay calm and float.
