Firewise

Even though we have completed our Firewise inquiry topic, we want to share some acrostic Firewise poems as we think they are fantastic.  What do you think?

F iery flames were fast
I magine the flames igniting in an impressive explosion
R acing red flames were rattling
E scape very quickly
W ondering if there will be white flames
I magine the igniting inferno flames
S parks are flying around the hot house
E scape from your flaming enemy

                                                G B
F iery flames are fast
I inferno flames inspire me
R attling flames are burning
E xplore and escape from the fire
W ondering what is Firewise
I gniting burning fire
S cary sparks are flying
E xploring fire is not safe

                                                A S

F iery house is burning
I magine the inferno red burning house
R acing red house is rattling from flames
E scape very quickly
W ondering where the burning house is
I gnited burning house is very hot
S parks are flying around the hot house
E xpanding flames are fire red

                                                M H


F iery flames were fast
I magine the flames igniting in an impressive display
R ed big fiery flames
E scape from the burning house
W ise working flames wandering around the house
I nferno infuriating flames
S hocking fiery flames are sparkly
E xploding flaming house is expensive

The most coolest day at school ever!

Today  we had an amazing  experience the  police  helicopter  came  to   Botany  Downs School. We saw it in the distance it was spectacular . When it landed I felt shocked
because I thought it would fly off and hit me. We had to go to the hall. The police man told us about what its like to fly a police helicopter.  After that  they took off “thud thud thud” went the helicopter it was amazing. It was breezy because the propellers blew the wind towards us.  CD





On Tuesday we had the most exciting morning ever!  The Eagle police helicopter landed on our school field.  This was for our new topic all about how Everyone contributes something of value to society.
One of the police officer's then talked to us about what is involved in his job.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

We used coloured paper to make our burning buildings.













   



We had to add a piece of the fire fighters equipment somewhere in our art work.







   
We definately know that if we are in a dangerous situation like this, we need to
Get Down, Get Low and Get Out Fast!
We will go to our safe meeting place and wait there.
We also know the difference between tools and toys and to not play with matches, lighters and candles.
If we see any of these tools we will give them to an adult straight away.
We have been learning about being Firewise, and we know we will be safe and know what to do in a fire.
