Fireworks art (last week)\/Fire Safety Talk<\/u><\/p>\n

This week has been busy so we have done loads of stuff. The firemen from Motherwell fire station came into see us and have a talk about firework because it was getting close to Guy Fawkes night.\u00a0\u00a0 We saw some really horrible pictures from people who has been scarred for life by fireworks. This made us really think if fireworks were really that safe. The fireman told us, children (that\u2019s us) to never use fireworks, be careful using sparklers and he gave advice to go to controlled firework nights. We all took this information in and kept safe during Guy Fawkes night<\/p>\n
