Fire Safety

We wanted to find out the answers to the following questions:

How do you know there is a fire?
What do you do if there is a fire in your house or in your classroom?

We went on a fire exit hunt. We walked around the school and made a tally chart of all the fire exits we passed. Then we used our green hat thinking (creative thinking) to draw our own fire exit sign, we made sure it was big and colourful so people could easily identify it!

In groups we discussed and made a list of ways to identify a fire, these are some signs we know that there is a fire:
Smoke
Smell
Smoke alarms beeping
Someone calling out "Fire, Fire"

We dramatised what to do if there is a fire in our house or in our classroom. Here are some photos of us lying down and crawling underneath the smoke to the nearest fire exit, if our clothes are on fire, we stop, drop and roll.
