St Michael’s children continued to learn about ways to stay safe with a visit from London Fire Brigade on Friday 19th May.
Officers use their training, experience and expertise to deliver fire safety messages in a sensitive and reassuring way so children understand the importance of home fire safety without becoming worried about a fire happening in their home.
In Year 2 the children listened to information about:
- the dangers of fire and how it can hurt people
- common fire hazards, and to never play with matches and lighters
- discussion about smoke alarms and how they keep homes safe from fire
- what to do in an emergency if there is a fire, and how to call 999.
The children in Y5 learnt about :
- how fire kills, destroys homes and spreads quickly
- smoke being as dangerous as fire, how smoke alarms work, and how to make sure they are working properly
- making fire escape plans from homes (including tower blocks)
- what to do if there is a fire, and how to call 999.
Thank you to the fire service for their support; they were very impressed with the children too!
