Nursery 1 students recently had the exciting opportunity to learn about firefighters and their important role in keeping communities safe. The little learners were introduced to the world of fire safety, with a special focus on what it takes to be a firefighter. Through interactive lessons and engaging activities, the children gained an understanding of fire safety equipment, emergency procedures, and the bravery required in the profession. The children were thrilled to learn about firefighters’ protective gear and the loud sirens of fire trucks, sparking their curiosity and imagination.

As part of their hands-on learning experience, the students participated in role-play activities where they dressed up as firefighters, using toy fire trucks and hoses to “put out fires” in the classroom. Teachers also led discussions on fire safety tips, such as “Stop, Drop, and Roll” and the importance of having a fire escape plan at home. The children eagerly engaged with the material, asking questions and demonstrating their understanding of how firefighters help protect people during emergencies. This early introduction to fire safety is crucial in helping young learners develop awareness and responsible behavior in potentially dangerous situations.

The highlight of the day was a surprise visit from a local firefighter, who shared exciting stories about his job and showed the children his uniform and firefighting tools. The firefighter explained how the gear works to keep them safe in dangerous situations and encouraged the children to always be careful with fire. By the end of the lesson, the Nursery 1 students had a newfound appreciation for the hard work and dedication of firefighters. The fun, interactive approach to learning left the children excited and informed, ensuring they remember these vital lessons for years to come.
