Today we went on a trip to the fire station. Just as we pulled up one of the fire trucks were leaving to an emergency! We saw the flashing lights of the fire truck and we saw it drive way with firemen inside to put out a fire.
When we got into the firestation the fireman let us each have a turn to sit inside the firetruck and turn the steering wheel!
Mariella was even brave enough to go into the middle of the firetruck where all the firefighters sit and keep their gear. All the rest of us just looked inside when morah held us :)
They showed us the flashing lights on the firetruck.
We then saw a fireman put on his fireman clothing and hat. The hat was a little too heavy for us to wear on our head but we all touched it. It was so hard and strong in order to protect the fireman's head.
Back at our preschool we did some experiments with fire and water. Every time morah made a fire, the water put it out! Of course we spoke about fires being VERY dangerous for children to go near. We saw pictures of all the different types of things we must stay away from including stove tops, candles and matches.
We made a fire collage with red cellophane and stuck on a fireman to help put out the fire.
We got a new firetruck and firetruck puzzle for our classroom!
