This week, Year 2 had a visit from the London Fire Brigade. The children learned about the importance of having a working smoke alarm in their homes and how to test the battery. They discussed fire hazards that can be found at home, and how to avoid them to keep safe. The children also learned what to do in a fire emergency.

Today, children celebrated Children in Need by coming to school in their own clothes. Thank you to everyone who was able to make a donation to support Children in Need. We raised £299.48.
