What an amazing day for a field trip!!! We couldn't have asked for better weather :)
After lunch/recess we took off walking for the fire station. Since it was fall fitness day it was perfect that we were walking. The kids thought it was a little long, especially on the way back, but they had fun walking through all the leaves and crunching them!!
When we got to the fire station we had 3 stations. For one station, a fireman showed us around the fire station and showed us all the trucks they use. The kids were sure full of lots of questions and were amazed by some of the tools they use during fires!
For another station, a fireman discussed fire safety. It's great for the students to review this every year and they were very interested. One of the main points was that every family needs to know 2 ways out of their house and how to get to the family's meeting area. Please discuss this with your child. The second point was that if someone is on fire they have to STOP DROP and ROLL!! Great review!
The final station was a change from the past several years. Usually I have to dress up in the fireman's clothes and the students all get to spray me. Not this year.... :) This year everyone got a turn to spray one of the fire trucks. Yippee for me!!!!
The students had a super time on the field trip and showed great Cadet Pride!!! Please discuss fire safety with your child at home. Thanks!
