Today we had Robert in from the Scottish fire brigade to talk to the boys and girls from the older class about bonfire safety. The boys and girls learned about how to keep safe around fireworks and sparklers.Robert also talked about how dangerous it is to throw a firework and what to if you caught fire these are the three steps, STOP, DROP AND ROLL! He advised not to be in a big group of teenagers because you could end up getting a five thousand pound fine for throwing a firework and it injuring someone and then further into trouble, possibly could get a criminal conviction. Which means if you want a job such as a teacher even if you got good grades you can’t get the fob due to having a criminal conviction he said even the littlest things can get you in big trouble or worse. Next and lastly he mentioned about holding sparklers apparently a sparkler is fifteen times hotter than a kettle which normally can reach as hot as one hundred degrees.
