Pupils at St Francis de Sales School recently took a break from lessons to find out about staying safe in a fire. Ingrid Nsionalola reports on a recent visit from London Fire Brigade.
In our school we have been learning about how to keep safe while a fire is happening. The woman from London Fire Brigade who was teaching us about how to keep safe showed us - Year 5 – all of the disasters that happened in people’s houses. She taught us not to buy fake chargers as this might cause a big fire and burn you.
The woman taught us that if a fire does ever happen, we have to follow the rules including rolling down on the floor. She selected a person from one class to show you how to follow these brilliant rules in a fire. I felt really safe and brave after they showed me. Now I know to check my fire alarm once a week and charge it once a year.
After all this information, the lovely woman gave us a letter showing us what to do. It came in really handy and useful after school when I told my mum about what we had learned about fire. She felt safer when I told her all this important information and started to look into making time to test our alarm.
If you hear this important information, remember not to play with matches. When you light one, it might slip and then burn your house. Hear this and tell your family so you can keep them all safe.
Having been taught by Mrs Naughton since September 2013, this week Stephanie Offeh and Jessica Adomako report on what makes her tick.
Class 5PN have a brilliant teacher called Mrs Naughton. Whenever the children in her class need help in something she helps them with kindness and care. Mrs Naughton has got one little cute daughter called Nel. Nel is so adorable and shy but she likes to cause trouble too. Mrs Naughton has been teaching at SFDS for 10 whole years! We are certainly not surprised. No wonder she is so amazing at teaching.
Nathaniel Peat set up The Safety Box to help children and young people stay safe and encourage them to achieve their potential. Over a series of weeks, he visited St Francis de Sales School to work with Year 5. Kerjarn Bailey reports on what pupils found out.
My name is Kerjarn Bailey and I recently attended a workshop with a man called Nathaniel Peat at St Francis de Sales School. He has been telling us about how bad gangs are and how people my age (10) are getting into them easily.
Now, let me tell you something: if you want to be in a gang, you should get that out of your head right now. Gangs are bad and if you want to get out of one, it is very hard. They could get you in trouble and you could even get killed.
Nathaniel told us about chickens and eagles; chickens will fight over a grain of corn but eagles spread their wings and soar. Emily Chantre, who attended the workshop, says, ‘Always remember this: always be an eagle, not a chicken.’
Now remember, never be in a gang.
