I have been learning all about fractions.

Today firefighters came to speak to the P6/7 classes about safety and bonfire night. The fire fighters showed us some videos about people who had been injured on bonfire night. Some people had been playing had been playing with fireworks, others were innocently enjoying a display. They told us not to play with fireworks or bonfires because it is dangerous.

They told us to wear gloves when using sparklers and keep them at arms length. We should also be aware of other people near us when we are using sparklers. A bucket of water should be kept beside the sparklers and the used sparklers should be put in the bucket after use. If you happen to catch fire, you need to drop to the ground, cover your face and roll until the flames stop. One adult should set off fireworks in a large back garden. If a firework doesn’t go off after it has been ignited, you must head indoors because the unexploded firework could go off at any time.
