Inquiry

On Monday two lifeguards from Eastbourne swimming pool came and visited us. They talked to us about water safety and about being a life guard.

In our class we brainstormed other times we have to be safe. We were interested in fire fighters and ways we can prevent and stay safe around fires.
Some questions we want to explore the answers to are: What do fire fighters do? How do fires start? What do we do at school and at home if there is a fire? What do fire fighters wear? What do fire fighters need to put out a fire? What do you do if there is a fire behind you? What happens if there is a giant fire? How many fire engines do you need in a giant fire? How do you know if there is a fire? What happens if you are in a burning building?

Our class will be using books, a visit to the fire station and the computer to find answers to our questions. If you find any information at home to help us answer these questions please send them along to school!
