Safety around fireworks

A few parents have asked about our Diwali celebration day. The children need to wear Indian clothes, if you ask the children what they wore when we had our Indian dance work shop a couple of weeks a go they all dressed up. Girls usually wear Saris or scarves. Boys a kaftan type top or scarves around their waste. The day will be full of activities. We are inviting you in to our class on Tuesday at 3pm for a taster of some of the scrumptious food that the children will be making.

In the children's book bags they should have been given a slip about our assembly and the clothes that they need to bring in, If your child is a monkey or a bear then please can they bring in a plain brown t-shirt. Cats need to wear a plain orange top and birds a plain blue top.

 The Dorset Fire and Rescue came in to school today. John Sweet explained how to stay safe around fireworks. The most important things to remember being to wear gloves if holding sparklers and when they are finished with to put in a bucket or water. That you must never go to an unexploded firework and that you must stand a great distance away from the fireworks to stay safe. John then came in to our classroom and the children listened to a fire safety talk.

I hope that you all enjoy the fireworks and stay safe over the next few days.
