scHOOLs EDUCATION TEAM CHALLENGES
How much do your children know about Kitchen Safety? Find out with these fun kitchen safety challenges.
Teach your child how to protect themselves from burns and scalds with the burns and scalds challenge.
PRoject ideas
Time for some history and research! Ask your children to find out more about the Great Fire of London and to prepare and present their project to you when they're finished. Younger children may need support with this but it's a great way to start teaching them research skills and get them thinking. Presenting can also help them gain confidence.
History of the fire service
The fire service is steeped in rich history. Ask your children to find out more about how the fire service started and get them to put this together in a project to present to the whole family.
The continued heatwave means wildfires are more of a threat than ever to our community, wildlife and countryside. Ask your children to find out more about the causes of wildfires and how we can all help to prevent them. Also ask them to research the impact wildfires have on nature and wildlife. They can find out more about heath-lands and then use this heath fire and mini-beasts worksheet to get started.
If your child/children complete any of the schools team challenges or projects we'd love to hear from you! If you email in photos of their completed work, we will issue them with their very own Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service certificate. Email in photos of any completed projects or challenges along with your child's name to cyp@hantsfire.gov.uk
