'Hazard Alley' was the first purpose-built safety education centre in the UK, designed to give visitors a unique interactive learning experience. During a tour in their 'life size' village, the children will encounter a range of 'hazards' giving them the opportunity to develop vital knowledge and strategies on how to stay safe.
We have organised a visit for Year 4 to ‘Thinktank’, Birmingham's award winning science museum, which offers an enlightening and fun packed day out.
