This afternoon we had the Fire Brigade and PC Wilson pop into school to talk to the pupils about staying safe on bonfire night. They gave the pupils lots of useful tips, such as: putting a sparkler into a carrot so you have something safe to hold onto; contacting the fire brigade if you are having your own bonfire to inform them so they don’t get a call from a worried neighbour and are taken away from a real emergency; avoid wearing loose clothing and tie your hair up to it doesn’t catch fire; and finally we learned about which materials are safe to put onto a bonfire to burn.

 

Pupils volunteered to demonstrate the stop, drop and roll – have a keek at some of them in action in the photos below!

 

Huge thanks must go to the Fire Brigade and PC Wilson for taking the time to come into school – we are looking forward to a fun but safe 5th November!
