We had a great field trip to the Fire Station on Manchester Ave. The fire fighters that showed us around the station were very nice, and patient and answered all of our questions. They let us get into the fire trucks , and they even turned on the flashing lights for us! :) We have pictures to share with everyone, they are all ready to be picked up at the daycare.
We practiced a fire drill last week at the daycare as well. Everyone did a really great job staying calm, and using their "walking feet", but moved quickly to get out of the building to our meeting spot.
We had done all kinds of reading about fire fighters and fire safety. We have also done all kinds of art around our fire safety theme.
We have now moved on to a new theme - "music/musical instruments". But our "fire safety" theme will be revisited soon. We are going to have a fireman visit us at the daycare soon (probably the week of the 7th of October as is it Fire Safety Education week). We are hoping that he might bring a truck with him and will show us his equipment and maybe even let us try it on! ;)
