🚒🔥 **Fire Safety First!** 🔥🚒

A huge thank you to Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (Official) for visiting our school and delivering our annual fire safety talks to our Year 2 and Year 6 children! 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

The children learned lots of important tips about staying safe, including fire prevention, smoke alarms and what to do in the event of a fire. 🚨🏠

We even had some budding firefighters trying on the uniform! 🚒❤️

A fantastic, informative visit enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for helping us stay safe! 🌟

🎨✨ **Creative Clay Artists in Year 2!** ✨🎨

Our talented **Year 2 artists** have been getting creative, taking inspiration from the wonderful work of **Ranti Bam**! 🖌️💚

The children explored working with clay to design and create their very own clay tiles, experimenting with different shapes, patterns and textures. 🙌🎨

What a fantastic opportunity to develop their artistic skills, express their creativity and learn about an inspiring contemporary artist! 🌟

**Well done, Year 2! We can't wait to see your finished masterpieces!** 👏❤️
