Firewise

Over the past few weeks we have been learning to be Firewise.

Topics we have discussed are:

• What is fire?
• Matches and lighters
• Smoke alarms
• If there is a fire in my room

• Get down, get low, get out - FAST
• Shut the door
• Shout FIRE, FIRE, FIRE
• Stay out
• Go to the safe meeting place.

Here is a great video of the big book  'Tamati and Sam' we read this week.

A Firewise activity book went home today for families to go through together.

Here is a fun song with a fire safety message that you can listen to:

The Firewise programme focuses on:

• not playing with matches and lighters
• being safe near  fires
• understanding that fire can be dangerous
• knowing what to do if there is a fire in a room
• practising evacuating from a room in a fire emergency.
