Week commencing 24th April 2023 - Acorns59

Welcome to this weeks blog post.

We hope you enjoy reading about our week at The Acorns 59.

Fire Drill Week –

We have practised our fire drills every day this week.

When the children hear the loud alarm they know to stop playing and listen carefully to the teachers. The teachers tell them what door they need to go to and everyone walks there together safely and quickly.

We counted the children as they went out the door and then called everyone’s names to check them off against our register.

The children were reassured that everyone was safe and that we were just practicing, in case one day we need to get out the building quickly.

“You need to ring three nines – nine nine nine”

“We might need to call the fire engines to come with a hose”

“We only call 999 in a real emergency”

The children have a good understanding of who else we might need in an emergency and a lot of our play this week centered around people who can help us.

This tied in nicely with our project this half term – Our Community.

We told the children about Mrs Mundy’s husband who is a firefighter. He drives the Fire Engine and helps lots of people. Sometimes he is called out to fires, other times its to help people who have got stuck somewhere or even to get a cat down from the top of a tree or a tall building.

We dressed up as Doctors, Nurses, Police Officers and Firefighters.
