Ms Josephine asked Year 4 if they would like to be scientists for the day! They were given a list of experiments to choose from which they could undertake over the weekend as a fun activity during lockdown. Here are the results...!
The children in EYFS are learning all about ‘People Who Help Us’ and this week it's the turn of the Fire Fighters. The children have been making their own fire engines, learning what the fire fighters do and also learning the most important of all; Fire Safety. Today in school we were learning the rules of fire safety, the children practised their 'STOP, DROP AND ROLL' technique if their clothes should catch fire. We found out that when the fire fighters come into our house/school we don't ever hide from them. We also practised crawling down low to the ground to escape any smoke. The children were really good and understood the importance of learning these rules! In the afternoon to practice what they had learned we had a real fire drill and the children knew to line up quickly and get out of the school as fast as they could, safely without panicking. We are using this topic in all aspects of our learning. We are learning songs and reading about the different people who help us. This week we are reading 'Charlie the Firefighter.’ The children really enjoy this story as it shows a group of school children visiting a fire station and they meet Charlie a female firefighter.
Our primary and secondary teachers and Admin staff had the opportunity to receive first aid training given by Red Crescent, Tunisia. Over the two day course they refreshed their skills in resuscitation, treating injuries and dealing with medical incidents. We are confident that they will cope competently with any accident or emergency at CIS!
CIS pupils celebrated the last day of term with a party in the garden. Children brought their own food and sat with their friends surrounded by balloons and excitement. It was a fitting end to a difficult term, thanks to Covid-19! Let’s hope for a better 2021!
