On Friday we had a special day at Kerrimuir where different year levels dressed in specific colours - this made Assembly a very colourful occasion. Prep A looked very smart in red and pink. We were all set for a great weekend once we put our brightly patterned Melbourne Cup hats. Have a look....

             Look out, here come the Firemen!

The firemen came to visit us and they said "Crawl down low, go, go, go!" Then they asked has anyone watched Star Wars? Half said, "Yes I did." Then they said call 000 if there is a fire. Something new I learned was the uniform and that the breathing equipment sounded like Darth Vader!

I learned that when there's a fire you need to crawl down low and go, go, go because the smoke is above you and the air is down low. We learned about good fires and bad fires. One of the firemen put on their uniform. My favourite thing was when one of the firemen shook my hand. I learned that when there is a fire you never go back inside. I also learned that you have to meet at a special place. 
Brayden also wrote, "If I had a fire in my house I really have to meet at the letter box."

The following visit was even more exciting......

On Wednesday the firemen came again. First we had a little chat, then we all went outside to see the fire truck and it was number 20. We had to count the wheels and the blue lights. All of us got a turn of squirting the hose.
