Weekly Activities/ Day 3/ Activity 1

Activity 1:Watch both of the current Air New Zealand safety videos. The first is a video that stars the All Blacks. The second is a video that stars Rhys Darby and Anna Faris (Hollywood actress).  Links for the videos are found below:

Air New Zealand ‘Men In Black’ video

Air New Zealand ‘Safety in Hollywood’ video

Once you have finished watching the videos, go to your blog and list three things that you need to do to stay safe on an airplane.

1. If there was an emergency during take off or landing, make sure to fasten your seat belt and place your forehead against the seat in front of you. After that, put your feet back strongly and get a strong grip on your lower legs. If there are no seats in front of you or if it has a very far distance from you. Place both hands on the top of your head, make sure your elbows are on each side of you and again place your feet back on the ground firmly.

2. When you are seated on a plane put on your seat belt on straight away and make sure that you hear a click from the seat belt. If you want to go to use the toilet or to do any other business to do just lift up the lever but when you come back to your seat just clip it back on for safety.

3. When you are in the air plane there are oxygen masks. Once the oxygen mask fall down you pull it and set it over your mouth and nose.
