Fire service visit, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 8th Nov 2022 @ 7:25am
We had a great afternoon with the fire fighters. We learnt all about how we can safely leave our house in the event of the fire alarm going off and how we can reduce the risk of a fire by turning off sockets, keeping their room tidy and making sure doors are closed.
We learnt STOP DROP and ROLL if our clothes caught fire.
The children have been set the challenge of designing a fire plan at home of how they would get out of their house in the event of a fire as well as learning their address in case they ever had to ring the fire brigade.
Because we answered all the questions correctly, we got to dress up and act out escaping our house (Mrs Catterall’s cupboard) the fire fighters putting the fire out and then rescuing the dog (played by our class zebra).
