Fire Ed for Upper Primary
Fire Ed for Upper Primary can be delivered to Grade 5 and 6 composite classes.
The process commences with firefighters delivering their lesson to students, incorporating information about home fire safety, fire science (the fire triangle) and the role of firefighters.
Firefighters use resources including DVDs, posters and a new three dimensional model of the fire triangle.
To complement this session, schools are also provided with a package containing some current MFB information as well as family and teacher survey forms.
Following the firefighters’ visit, teachers continue the process by developing a unit of work for their class using teacher resource materials and class sets of student resource books provided by the MFB.
The teacher resource materials include teacher manuals and over 80 task cards covering the topics of:
- fire safety
- fire science
- hazard identification
- evacuation
- first aid
- roles of firefighters
