Fire Saftey Week
Today,
children learned some important fire safety skills. With a lesson from
three Montpelier Firefighters, students learned what "is hot and what is
not" by identifying items they should not touch because they could be
hot, or start a fire. For example, coffee cups, lighters or matches are
not for children to touch. The firefighters also demonstrated what a
fire alarm sounds like when it is detecting smoke or a fire, and what to
do - "get out of the building, and stay out of the building!" We even heard about what it is like for fireman to get ready to go to a fire. Because it's such a obscure and scary uniform that they wear -with all the gadgets and layers, your children received exposure to the outfit so in case of an emergency, they won't be scared if a firefighter comes to help! Students
had many important questions following our lesson so maybe we can
arrange a walking field trip to the fire station soon. INQUIRE
with your child about the fire safety skills they learned, and how you
might go about making your home safe from a fire. Your child brought
home a pamphlet, a sticker and a pencil to help remind them about the importance of fire safety.
