The person using the machine!!!
In the case of an emergency and we need to exit the school, walk me through what we need to do as a class. start with the first person leaving the room and where we go, then what we do when we wait for clearance to reenter the school.
the first person should open the door, the second person will lead the class around the school and on to the field where your class typically lines up, the teacher will take attendance and we will be calm and listen for our names and wait together as a class for further instruction from our teacher.
How should we behave in the shop?
Calmly, ready to concentrate, focussed, respectful of others, the shop, and yourself.
