Hi you all,
Wednesday April 17 th there was a visit of the fire brigade at the Bernardusschool.
It was the final event to cloose the element "Fire"of the project: "The Four Elements."
We started with a `real` fire in school to be aware what to do when there is a fire emergency.
It´s very important what to do/handle in such an occasion, as staying calm, close windows, take the list of names of pupils and wait for a sign to leave school into the right direction outside. Outside the teacher calls student names to be sure nobody is inside anymore. The teacher shows a green card if all students of his class are outside! There will be shown a red card when someone is missing. In this case the security person will go inside the school to have a look again, trying to find the missing person.
On this special day there were different activities for all groups.
Pupils of 10 and 11 years old listened to a fireman, who told the students about fire dangerous, causing fire, temperature of fire, what to do if people are very wounded by fire and above all to find a plan to escape in a fire situation.
The firewoman below also demonstrated how she's dressed in a fire situation..
It is also very hard to find the way to escape when you can't see anything by smoke.
It's an awful smell, dangerous for breathing as well.
Pupils try to find the way to go outside the classroom....
For the youngest it was so great to take a seat in fire car.
They also tried to put out a real fire..very hard to handle..
Also Daan, was present and he likes the activities very much...
