News » Flying Start @ Camborne's learn all about ELFS!

The children from Flying Start @ Camborne have been taking part in a Fire project recently!

The nursery borrowed the ELFS (Early Learning Fire Safety) resource box from the Fire Brigade, which contained puzzles, books, helmets and many other resources. The ELFS scheme was developed by Cornwall's Fire and Rescue Service to educate children in the Early Years.

Following this the children were lucky enough to have the Fire Engine visit the nursery so they could explore it and have a thorough look at how everything worked. 

The week after the staff and the children walked to the local Station where they were able to see all the big appliances and the children were able to use the hose to squirt the water. They had such a great time and all the children now understand about fire safety and how to call 999 in an emergency!

The staff seemed to enjoy it too....
