London 2012 blog

Hello everyone around the world we're Ashley (11) and Jacqueline (12) and we live at Waterden Crescent, by the Olympic Park site.

Last Friday we went to the Olympic site with other children from our street. We learnt about the dangers of a construction site and how we must make sure that we are kept safe and watched a play called ‘don’t go there’. It was about two people called Dean and Dona.

Dona was teasing Dean to go on to the building site without protective gear. But he ignored her, but she kept on teasing until he finally agreed with her. He got his foot stuck in wood and then a lorry came and Dean injured his eye.

The play was very exciting and interesting because you wanted to know what was going to happen next. We enjoyed making posters about the building site and the dangers of the building site.



We also liked the music that was on and at the end we sang a song about the building site. We especially liked the games we were playing such as the danger box, when something was in the box and people had to explain the dangers.

We really enjoyed the day and it was a great idea to take us onto the site to teach us about the dangers, but we also got to see inside the Park and have a look at what is going on.
