Emma from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue came into school today to talk to the children in Year 2 and Year 6.

The Year 2 children learnt all about the work that the fire service do and items in the house that could be dangerous. They enjoyed watching a cartoon about Dexter the Fire Dog and learnt about how to make a fire plan.

The Year 6 children learnt about hoax calls and the three types of plans that can be made to keep safe in the event of a fire.

The children went home with homework to check that they have a smoke alarm on each floor. The fire service can come out to fit new alarms if they are needed.

On Thursday, the school choir had planned to perform in the village, hoping to bring festive cheer and joy to the local residents. Unfortunately, due to Storm Pia, we made the difficult decision to cancel the performance and prioritised keeping safe and warm in school. Instead, we were able to perform to the whole school, on the stage, with our musical instruments in front of a wonderful audience! Well done to all of the children- we have children from every class in the choir, which is wonderful!

It has been lovely to work with some of the Key Stage One children at Christmas Craft Club.

We've been very busy on Tuesdays after school making fabulous Christmas decorations - we made Christmas gnomes, Rudolph baubles, paper strip Christmas trees and paper plate angels. 

Thank you all for coming and working so hard - I hope your creations are hung with pride in your homes!
