Year 5 had a visit from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service where they learned about what to do in the event of a fire. They were given useful tips to keep themselves and their families safe at home. Everyone was reminded that it is essential to have a working smoke alarm in their home.
The assembly also included vital information about keeping themselves safe near open water. This involved identifying possible dangers such as: slippery river banks, hidden objects in the water and fast flowing currents. The Water Safety Code was shared with them and they were shown how to stay calm and float on their back if they fell into open water. The pupils were reminded that 999 was the number to call for the emergency services.
The final part of the assembly gave some of the children the opportunity to dress up as a firefighter, which was very exciting. This was followed by an inspirational talk about how all of the pupils could consider a career in the fire service.
