Fire Drills

18/9/2017

 
This week we will be talking about fire drill procedures and practicing what to do as the first of six fire drills will happen at the end of the week. The bells will be loud, doors will slam and adults will be encouraging the children to move quickly, all of which might frighten or overstimulate the children. After the first two fire drills the children are usually much calmer as they know what to expect and things go smoother. Obviously, the first priority is to get the children safely out of the building but if they are screaming or upset it is hard for them to listen for directions. Supervising the front of the line, the middle of the line and the back of the line of screaming/crying/hysterical children all by myself, and still managing to get to our spot without losing anyone can be quite a feat. So. This week we practice.... and discuss .... and practice some more. Wish me luck.

Thank-you very much for this blog. As a grandparent living in a different community it is very nice for me to be able to follow along with what is happening in the class! I appreciate your effort!
