Lesson plan
Display the Presentation: Odd one out.
Using the slide, ask the children to recap their knowledge from learning in prior year groups about what to do in an emergency. The children should discuss which phone number is the odd one out and why:
999. (The UK phone number for medical emergencies.)
112. (The single European emergency number that can be used in the UK.)
111. (The UK phone number for urgent medical advice that is not life-threatening.)
All three are phone numbers used in the UK for contacting medical help. The children's answers may include:
111 is the odd one out because it is not an emergency number, whereas 999 and 112 are for emergencies.
112 is the odd one out because it is used throughout Europe, whereas 999 and 111 are just for the UK.
