ES1 Newsletter

What a fabulous visit we had from the local fire brigade. We learnt so many ways to keep ourselves safe. Did you know - if you do not have working fire alarms in your home, you can contact the local fire brigade and they can come and install one for you. Students got to practise ‘get down low and go, go, go’, as well as ‘drop and roll’. A lot of students now want to be firemen or firewomen when they grow up. 

Kindergarten students and teachers are all looking forward to our excursion to Thalgarrah. We will make sure we take lots of photos and share them in our next newsletter. Thank you to all the parents who offered to attend, unfortunately we could only take two parents per class.
