Firewise!

We have been learning how to be Firewise and what we can do to stay safe. We have identified safe and unsafe fires and what to do in case of a fire. We get down, get low, get out, FAST!
We call 111 and tell the operator our address, what is on fire and if anyone is hurt.
It was great having Fireman Darren Shackleton come and share videos with us about how to be Firewise. We heard a smoke alarm and yelled FIRE FIRE FIRE as we evacuated the building and assembled in a Safe Meeting Place. Take a look at us getting down, getting low and getting out as we evacuated the Muritai Centre! A big thanks again to Darren for coming to teach us today.
"C'mon on guys, get firewise!!"

Fires double in size every 30 seconds.

Beep Beep Beep goes the smoke alarm! Look at that black 'smoke'!

We safely got down, got low and got out under the smoke and out to safety.

Shake Out!

Today our school participated in the National event Shake Out. We learnt what to do to prepare for an earthquake such as having supplies of food, water, a torch and batteries. We know to DROP COVER HOLD if inside during an earthquake and assume the TURTLE position if outside. After an earthquake we evacuate to a safe place outside.
Today we were outside during the Shake Out so we assumed the turtle position. We evacuated to the field with the rest of the school until it was safe to return to class.
Check out our pics!
