Room 4 participated in the Firewise Programme with Fire and Emergency New Zealand. The tamariki learned important fire safety messages, including what to do if there is a fire, how firefighters help keep us safe, and the importance of having an escape plan at home.The highlight of the day was exploring the fire truck and seeing the firefighters’ equipment up close. The children were fascinated by the hoses, safety gear, and all the special tools carried on the truck. Many students had the opportunity to sit inside the fire engine and try on firefighter gear, making the learning experience both fun and memorable.Our tamariki asked thoughtful questions, listened carefully, and showed great enthusiasm throughout the visit. It was wonderful to see them making connections between their learning and real-life community helpers. A huge thank you to Fire and Emergency New Zealand for delivering such an engaging Firewise session and helping our students learn valuable safety skills that they can share with their whānau.
