Keeping Safe From Fire

Today we saw a fireman. His name was Inspector Power. He showed us a house that showed all the dangers and bad things that could happen and how things could catch on fire.  We learned how to make our house safe from fire.

Here is some of what we learned:



When there is a fire, get out as quick as you can. - Lily
We hear a fire alarm if there is a fire - Anya
A window can help you get out if there is a fire - Brianna
If there is a fire you should have a fire plan to get out of the house - Logan
You have to feel a door to see if it's hot before you open it.  If it's hot, don't open it, go the other way! - Samantha
You have to stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire. - Elsa W.
If there is a fire you have to get out quick. - Kaelie
If there is smoke in a room up high, duck and crawl out of the room. - Aiden
No hiding under a bed if there is a fire.  Get out of the room quickly. - Michael
Stay away from fire. - Sophia
Don't touch matches and light them on fire.  If you find them, tell a grownup to put them away. - Nathan
Don't hide under your bed if there is a fire. - Corinne
No running if there is a fire.  You could fall and then catch on fire. You should walk quickly. - Angelina
Don't touch gas.  It is dangerous.  - Jasmine
A stove is hot.  Do not touch it. - Sulafah
If there is a pot that catches on fire, mom or dad or a big sister can put the cover on and the fire will stop. - Julianna
We should check to see if fire alarms are working. - Olivia
If there is an emergency call 911 for firemen, ambulance and police - Maria
If your clothes catch on fire you Stop, Drop, and Roll! - Matthew


We have a mission for you!  Do you have a fire plan at your house?  You should.  Be sure to make a plan and check to see that your house is safe and okay.

Calling All Groundhogs!

The past few days we have been talking about Weather Lore and the significance of the groundhog.  We investigated shadows, discovered that there are no groundhogs in Newfoundland, and read a wonderful new story from our library - Wake Up, Groundhog! Thank you Ms. Warren for bringing it to us!

February 2nd is Groundhog Day!   I have a mission for all kinderkids.  Since we have no groundhogs in our province to watch, we will be the groundhogs!  When you wake up on Sunday, check outside to see if you can find your shadow...just like a groundhog would.  We'll be tracking our February weather to see if the tale of the groundhog is true!

We wonder about groundhogs all over the world...will they see their shadow?  Leave us a comment to let us know!

Happy Shadow hunting!  See you on Monday!
