Fire Wise Fire Station Visit

Fitzroy School Junior Syndicate were lucky enough to get to visit Brown Watch at the New Plymouth Fire Station as a follow up to our Fire Wise topic.

The firemen explained all of the different equipment they use to us and dressed up in their rescue equipment so we could see and hear what they would look like if they ever had to come to a fire near us.

We really enjoyed standing on the hose trying to stop it from filling up with water. We gave it our best effort but the water won! One of our highlights was getting to squirt the bucket off the cone using the fire hose. Wow, that was really exciting and produced many smiles and squeals of delight.

Thanks Brown Watch - you guys were awesome!

Strike - Strikes Again



Fitzroy School got to enjoy the fantastic Strike percussion group on Friday afternoon. Mr Millar and Mr Goodey had fun showing us their best moves and 'trying' to create music with the group. What a great way to end the week. Tylarae was our photographer for the event and these are two of the great photos she took. Well done Tylarae!
