Get Firewise

This week we have been learning about how to 'Get Firewise' during our inquiry time. We have discussed how matches/lighters are "tools not toys" and ways to stay safe around fires, heaters, barbecues and in the kitchen. Today we learnt what to do when a fire alarm goes off at home or at school. You need to 1. get out FAST 2. say "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE" 3. shut the door (if you can safely) 4. go to your safe meeting place. The children all took home a sticker in their reading folders today. It would be great if you can discuss as a family your safe meeting place and add the sticker to this spot. It may be your mailbox or gate. We were very proud of Room 2/3 today and can't wait to share our learning with the firefighters tomorrow!
