🌞 Lifeguards in Our Community

Introduction

Lifeguards are friendly helpers who watch over the water. They keep us safe at pools, beaches, and lakes. Let’s learn about these brave friends!

Who Are Lifeguards?

  1. Bright Red Hats – Lifeguards wear bright red hats so we can see them from far away.
  2. Big Whistles – Toot! Toot! They blow a loud whistle when they need attention.
  3. Strong Arms – They can splash, swim, and lift someone who needs help.

What Do Lifeguards Do?

  • Watch: They look, look, look at the water all day.
  • Count: They count β€œ1, 2, 3…” to check how many swimmers are safe.
  • Rescue: When someone slips, they jump β€œswoosh!” and bring them to the side.
  • Smile: They smile with a warm, happy face so we feel safe and calm.

Feelings and Sounds

  • Safe – When a lifeguard waves, we feel safe.
  • Brave – We feel brave watching the lifeguard help.
  • Sounds: Splash! Whistle! Cheer!

Simple Activity – Pretend Lifeguard!

  1. Put on a red cap (or a paper hat).
  2. Stand tall, look left, look right, look front.
  3. Practice blowing a β€œtoot‑toot” whistle.
  4. Count β€œ1, 2, 3” swimmers and say β€œAll safe!”

Conclusion

Lifeguards are wonderful members of our community. Next time you see a pool or beach, look for the red hat and say β€œHello!” and keep exploring the world of helpers around you. 🌊

How Volcanoes Form

From Magma to Mountain

Volcanoes grow where tectonic plates collide or drift apart. Heat melts rock into light, buoyant magma that rises, cools, and hardens near the surface, building the cone layer by layer.
