Firewise and Fire Safety

Good evening,

I was fortunate to receive an email from the Nelson Fire Brigade who are providing fun, interactive activities relating to the Firewise programme. Click on the link, and then click on activity tahi in the right hand corner.

Below is the message from Amy (Firewise Educator)


Kia ora Koutou
Firstly, we would like to acknowledge you and the huge amount of effort you are putting in during this very unknown and unnerving time. We really appreciate this and would like to contribute in any way we can. Lockdowns can be a stressful time, especially for families, so we have adapted some Fire wise and Fire Safety tasks for tamariki during this time.
Access: You and your tamariki will be able to access the content using a Google site we have created. Here is the link https://sites.google.com/view/tmfafirewise/home
How the learning is organised: We will follow a Learn, Create, Share model of learning. This will have a description, a short video with key information, a task (create) and an opportunity to share what they create. This may be a video, photo, drawing or a piece of writing. In each description we will: recommend age groups this will be suitable for but each task can be adapted for all learning levels, include learning outcomes and recommended resources.
The learning tasks relate to our Firewise programme with adaptations for creative ways to learn while in lockdown. All tasks are short and we encourage whānau to get involved also.
Key learning tasks:
Identifying and checking our smoke alarms
Where should my alarms be placed in my home?
Creating an escape plan
Safe meeting place - where do we go if we have a fire in our home?
Winter fire safety - heaters and fires
Fire trap game
