On Tuesday, Hedgehogs’ had a very special visitor come to our classroom. It was a fire fighter! They came in to speak about the importance of keeping safe around dangerous fire lighting things such as lighters and matches. Year Two also learnt what to do if there was an emergency. They were excellent at listening, asking questions and really understood the importance of fire alarms at home. Hopefully Hedgehogs’ went home and checked theirs. If you haven’t then do…
We were also very lucky as the fire fighter put his special fire uniform on to show Hedgehogs. They were fascinated by the helmet and how thick the jacket was. Year Two also learnt a poem too - Matches, lighters, never touch. They can hurt you very much! Ask your child to show you the actions with the rhyme.
