Smolensk preschoolers were informed about the danger of early ice on water bodies.

Late autumn is a deceptive and dangerous period, which was the topic of a preventive conversation in kindergarten No. 58 “Dandelion”. Specialists of the department of safety of people on water bodies held with pupils a lesson on the rules of behavior at water bodies in the run-up to winter. The inspectors reminded children and their parents to exercise utmost caution when walking by rivers and lakes.

The event was attended by state inspector Polina Malakhova and chief expert Alexander Fedukova. For clarity, the staff brought thematic reminders and life jackets.

Representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia explained to the kids in accessible language the risks associated with being near the water in the autumn period. According to them, autumn water may look attractive in the sun, but in fact it is extremely cold. Inspectors warned that if an accidental fall on a wet shore, only a few minutes remain for rescue. Experts stressed that it is extremely difficult to get out of the water on your own, since wet clothes and shoes become heavy, and the muscles cease to obey due to sharp hypothermia.

At the end of the meeting, each child was presented with bright reminders with the rules of safe behavior on water bodies in the cold season. The kindergarten staff thanked the guests for the visit, noting that such conversations are the most effective way to teach children safety rules.
