Welcome to Arrowtown School

Lila started school today.

Welcome to Arrowtown School Lila!

Firefighter Preston

 Today we had Firefighter Preston talking to Room 16 about fire safety.
 Adam helped Preston read a story about Fire Safety.
 Emily helped read the story too.  She also pushed the button on the smoke alarm.  It was very very loud!!
 Preston used a black sheet to pretend our classroom was full of smoke.
We got down, got low and got out!!
Then we went to our school safe meeting place on the school netball courts.
Preston told us about tools and toys.  We are not allowed to play with tools as they are too dangerous for 5 year olds.  Matches and lighters are tools not toys!


Thank you for coming to Room 16 Preston.

Fire Engine Visit

 We are studying Firewise at school at the moment.  We are learning about fire safety.
Today the fire truck visited school with Fire Fighters Greg, Alex and Patrick.
(Mrs Horn used to teach Alex when he was 5!!).


 Here is Fire fighter Alex with Room 16.  He is showing us where the hoses go.
Fire fighter Greg is showing us his favourite fire fighting tool that can break doors and ceilings and even lift the roof off a car!!
 Alex wore all his fire fighting gear and even put on his breathing gear so we could hear the sound of it.  It was a little bit noisy but not scary.

We even got to sit inside the fire truck!!  Mrs Horn was allowed to turn on the siren!!  It was really really loud.

Thank you Greg, Alex and Patrick from the Arrowtown Fire Brigade.
