Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 National Values Education. In our previous lesson, we learned about Reporting Suspicious Movements – Consequences Of Failing To Report Suspicious Movements. Today, we’re going to learn about Objects of Alert.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List 4 different types of security alert objects.
- Explain the uses of security alert objects.
Objects of Alert
Objects of alert are tools that are used to signal danger or an emergency. They are designed to attract attention and warn people of potential threats. Some of the most common objects of alert include:
- Whistles: Whistles are small, handheld devices that produce a loud, piercing sound. They are often used by police officers, lifeguards, and other emergency personnel to signal for help.
- Bells: Bells are a traditional way to signal an alert. They are often used in churches, schools, and other public places to announce events or emergencies.
- Sirens: Sirens are electronic devices that produce a loud, wailing sound. They are commonly used by emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, to warn people of their approach.
- Fire alarms: Fire alarms are devices that are designed to detect smoke or heat and trigger an alarm. They are essential for safety in homes, businesses, and public buildings.
- Gongs: Gongs are large, metal discs that are struck with a mallet to produce a loud, resonant sound. They are often used in traditional ceremonies and festivals, but they can also be used as a security alert.
- Drums: Drums are percussion instruments that can be used to produce a variety of sounds, including loud, rhythmic beats. They are often used in music, but they can also be used as a security alert.
- Horns: Horns are devices that are used to produce a loud, blaring sound. They are commonly used on vehicles, such as cars and trucks, to warn other drivers or pedestrians.
