Fire Safety
This morning, Dragonfly class had a visitor from Shropshire Fire and Rescue! Firefighter Barry came to give the children a fire safety talk. We learnt about what we should do in the event of a fire, how we know if there is a fire and what to do if we catch fire. The children asked some excellent questions, we really enjoyed the visit!
Cut your Carbon
Dear Parents,
Your child will be taking home a checklist today with information about cut your carbon. Our Owl Class eco warriors council talked about how important it is that we protect our greenhouse layer and reduce carbon emissions. So, on the sheet there are 6 things which you can do to help. It is not expected that you do all 6, but each one will make a small difference. I will be collecting completed checklists and will send them off for our school to enter a competition. Best of luck everyone!
Mr Arthur 🙂
Look at the Book
