Fire Fighters Visit Foundation

Visit from Firefighters

This term, students in Foundation are learning about What Makes a Community. Students identified different groups and organisations in our community and are finding out about services these groups provide.  Recently we invited our local fire fighters to come and speak to the children about how they help the community. The children were extremely excited to see the fire engine, the sophisticated equipment fire fighters use and of course, meet the fire fighters themselves. The fire fighters taught us what to do in case of a fire. Here is what some children had to say:

Charlie:  "If you are in a fire, drop down low and go, go,go!"

Riccardo: "The fire fighters told us the difference between good fires and bad fires."

Edwin: "When there is a fire on your clothes, you should stop,drop,cover and roll."

Zoe: "Today the fire fighters visited Prep. Prep children squirt the hose."

Olivia: "I pushed the handle and the hose squirted water."

Maks: Today we were squirting the hose and there was big water and we were learning to crawl down low and go, go, Go!"
