At school a couple of weeks ago the firefighters came and talked to the class about their job. The kids were very excited to see the firemen, their gear, the fire hose, and pretend play with them. The firemen taught the children how to stop, drop, and roll, and other things to do in case of a fire. They also got to play with the fire hose and pretend to squirt out a fire. The teachers also drew fire on paper ,and set it up outside for the kids to put out with their water sprinklers.
All of the children were supposed to go to the fire station a couple weekends ago, but the trip got canceled due to the swine flu. The government here does not want the schools to have any outings for the next few months due to the flu. It has tripled here within the last few weeks, so they want to avoid the kids being in large crowds. I guess the school does not want to be responsible if one of the kids got the flu while out on a school trip. Grayden was very disappointed he wanted to go to the fire station to see the big red fire engine, and ride on it. Hopefully, they will reschedule the trip when the flu subsides here.
