An Exciting Visit from the Fire Service! 🚒🔥

This week, we had some very exciting visitors at school — the local fire service came to talk to us all about the important role they play in keeping our community safe. It was a brilliant experience, and both the children and staff were buzzing with excitement!

The firefighters gave us a fascinating talk about what their job involves, the types of emergencies they respond to, and how we can all help to stay safe. The children were full of questions, and the firefighters were amazing at answering them all — with plenty of fun facts along the way!

One of the highlights was definitely getting up close to the fire engine. The children had the chance to explore the vehicle, see the different equipment the firefighters use, and even peek inside the cab where the crew sit. There were lots of wide eyes and big smiles as we learned about the hoses, ladders, and protective gear.

Inspired by the visit, we spent the rest of the week drawing fantastic pictures of fire engines and writing about everything we had learned. From how firefighters rescue people to the different parts of their uniform, the children were full of ideas and enthusiasm.

It was a wonderful way to connect classroom learning with real-life heroes in our community — and a big thank you to the fire service team for making it such a memorable experience!

Phonics

In phonics we practised reading longer words ending with -ing ( looking, cooking, mixing) and -es        (wishes. foxes, boxes, etc.). We also revisited Phase 2 and Phase 3 tricky words. 

Maths

 In maths we focused on making doubles of numbers 1-5. The children used a variety of activities to deepen their understanding of double quantities and odd and even numbers.
