PSHE People who help keep us safe

Lesson: Personal, Social and Emotional Education

YEAR 1 PSHE

As part of our ‘How to stay safe’ unit, we have been learning all about what we should do in an emergency. The children have been finding out about our emergency response services and how and when to call them. We were so excited for our planned visit from Birkenhead Fire Brigade, so in order for us to find out more about what they do, we generated lots of questions such as “How long does it take to put a fire out?” “What is the biggest fire that you have ever been to?” and “Do you only go to fires?”. We found out lots of interested facts about the different types of emergencies that they attendand the equipment that they use for each emergency.  We even listened to the siren!!! “It was so, so loud” said Louis. Do you know that a firefighter can get his whole attire on within 38 seconds??? We counted!
