As we continue to learn about jobs in our community, Ian the firefighter kindly visited the morning children last week to talk about his job and about how to stay safe in a fire. The message was very clear to the children to stay low in a fire as they had to crawl under makeshift smoke in the form of a billowing parachute. They also learned about Ian’s equipment, why he needs it and they had good fun trying it out. Some thought it was very heavy to carry but others seemed confident that they would be strong enough to be firefighters and carry all the equipment on their backs. They may have to grow in to the jackets a little but I wonder if we have any firefighters of the future here?
\nThank you very much to Ian for his visit. The children learned lots about staying safe in a fire and about your job. We look forward to your visit later this week to talk to the afternoon children.
