The children have been talking about their experiences at the fire station. These were some of their comments when looking at our photos of the fire engine.
Parker: I was blowing the fire out with a hose. The fire engine is red. It’s big.
Freddie: the hose gets the fire away. They flush it away.
Alex W.: I went in the fire engine. I wore a helmet and used a hose. Water came out then Zack wanted a go.
Lewis: I had a turn of squirting the hose. I sitted on the fire truck.
Emilia H.: I was sitting in the back.
Euan: I went inside the fire engine. Water came out the hose to put the fire out.
Jessica: it’s hot fire.
Danielle: I’m watering the fire.
Emily M.: I went in the fire engine and sprayed the hose.
The children also talked about the road safety learning on our visit.
Letti: we learned to look about where the cars are and to walk on the pavement.
Nancy: I was a lollipop lady. I helped people to cross the road so Filip could ride his bike to school.
Arthur: the lollipop lady stops the cars to cross the road.
Tom: we were playing cars and bikes and buses. I played a lollipop man. Stopped the cars. Freddie was there. Stop, keep your eyes open, keep your ears open, think with your brains.
Jake: be safe. Look with the eyes. If cars coming stop, listen, cross at the man.
Tiana-Rose: I walk with Mum. Hold hands on the pavement. Wait before you cross. Cross at lollipop man.
Lewis: Stop! Cross at the lollipop man, look both ways and think. Hear with your ears.
It certainly sounds like lots of good listening has been happening on our visit.
