Newsletter, Term 2, Week 4

Hello and Kia ora tatou.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

We would like to thank Fire Officer Shane Bromely who came to school last Thursday and spoke to the children about being Firewise and keeping ourselves safe in the case of a fire.

This was followed up with a visit to the Mercury Bay Fire Station yesterday. All our children were very well behaved as usual. We learnt about the equipment needed by the fire fighters and the training required; everyone climbed into the fire engine and got to experience the force of the fire hose.

 

Many thanks to the parents who helped transport our children and to Roly Chaney, the Deputy Fire Chief who opened up the fire station for us.
