Marlborough Primary School pupils lend a helping hand


Year two pupils from Cardiff’s Marlborough Primary School have played a starring role in the launch of a national competition as children’s TV presenter Rebecca Keatley descended on their classroom.


Rebecca, who is famous for her role in CBeebies Let’s Play, teamed up with gas emergency and pipeline service, Wales & West Utilities, to launch Get Creative, Be Safe – a competition to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO). As part of the launch activities she visited the school, along with Wales & West


Utilities colleagues, to help give the 60 children insight into the dangers of CO poisoning and the tell-tale signs to look out for at home.


Get Creative, Be Safe is an annual competition which Wales & West Utilities runs across its region. Along with Rebecca, they are now urging youngsters in Key Stages 1 and 2 (ages 5 to 11), to put their artistic skills to good use and produce an eye-catching poster, poem, fi lm or song, which is both informative and accurate, and warns of the dangers of CO poisoning and how to avoid them.


Pupils from Marlborough


Primary were the fi rst to enter this year’s competition after wasting no time in putting pen to paper and coming up with their designs to raise awareness of the dangers of CO - known as the ‘silent killer’ because you can’t see it, smell it or taste it.


Presenter Rebecca, who is originally from Port Talbot, said: “Children of this age have an abundance of creativity and we’re urging them to use their talents to have some fun in designing something that warns of the dangers carbon monoxide poses and help spread the vitally important safety message
