Every reception class will be offered a visit by an education officer. If you have not heard from us, please complete this form.
The lesson lasts around 45 minutes, and is broken up into small sections of different activities such as taking part in actions, listening to a story and games. As well as the safety messages, firefighters are used as examples to inspire the children on skills such as communication, teamwork, perseverance and keeping healthy.
We welcome requests for visits by fire crews, please speak to your education officer when booking your visit, or for a visit on a specific topic, please complete this form – please note, visits by firefighters will depend on the crew’s capacity and availability, and may not be available at all stations.
Following the lesson, you may wish to use some of the resources to continue the topic in English, maths or art, as well as discussing the safety messages.
If you wish to use firefighters as an inspiration for fitness; please use our ‘meet the firefighter’ videos.
