Year 2 Fire Service visit

Lesson: PSHE and citizenship

Class: Class 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

Community Support Officers Jenny and Geri from the Fire and Rescue Service came to visit Year 2 today.  They helped the children to explore and understand safe and good uses of fire, as well as risks and dangers associated with fire.  They showed the children how to 'Stop, Drop and Roll' should they ever need to extinguish flames from their clothes or person, and how to make a 999 call for assistance if there was ever a fire at home or elsewhere.  The children learnt about the importance of having a fire safety plan in the home as well as at school, and the importance of practising it and discussing it with their families, to be best prepared to keep everyone safe.  At the end of the session, the children acted out a scenario and even got to try on firefighter helmets and jackets! They had lots of fun, learnt a lot and answered all of the questions they were posed very sensibly and with well-thought out responses.  Well done, Year 2!
