The Fire Drill

The other week during lunch time the fire alarm went off! 

The fire brigade turned up with their lights and sirens flashing.

Only this wasn't a planned fire drill...

Have a read of some of our awesome recounts to find out what happened...

Weeee oooo weee ooo! It was a hot, sunny day and the beautiful birds were chirping in the trees when suddenly I heard a loud noise. I had to rush to the courts. When I got there all of the children were lined up like soldiers and Miss Fisher was taking the roll to make sure everyone was there. Then Anchal went to tell Mrs Strang that Room 12 were all safe. Next thing we knew a gigantic red fire truck came rushing through the school gate like a lion hunting. After that the firemen showed up in their safety suits and red helmets. Once the firemen had given us the 'all clear' we zoomed back out to play to make the most of the little bit of lunch time that we had left. It was a very chaotic lunchtime!

"Weeeee ooooo weeeee ooooo fire drill!" It was a hot, sunny day and the birds were chirping in the trees when suddenly a weird sound came straight in my ear. It sounded like controls flashing in the sun shine. Everyone was running around like crazy cheetahs. I was the first one to sit in line and Joanna was the second. Then Miss Fisher got the roll of names and said it out loud. Next I told Mrs Strang that Room 12 were all here. Suddenly firemen showed up in their big, red firetruck wearing helmets that were bright yellow and really shiny. They checked the staffroom and it seemed that it was only smoke. Then we got to go and play on the playground. It was an exciting and chaotic lunchtime!

Wow! The fire alarm went off. I was frightened because we have never had a fire drill during lunchtime before. I was wondering what on earth had happened? Then Mr Shinn said, "Get off the turf!" I quickly sprinted to the courts. When I got there Miss Fisher was taking the roll. All 26 of us were here. I was very happy but worried in a way as well. A fire truck came zooming in the school gate and after that they rushed to the staffroom to check that everything was ok. Then they came out of the staffroom and said a few words to us. They were dressed in a red helmet and a yellow and red safety vest. They also had on a red fire proof jacket. Then Mrs Ritchie told all the classes one by one to go and play again. We only had a little bit of lunch time left. You are probably wondering what had happened? Well Mrs Ritchie burnt her toast! What a chaotic lunch time!

"Weeeeee ooooo weeeee oooooo" I was playing soccer with my friends when suddenly a loud pitched noise echoed across the whole school. The whole school had to assemble on the courts but we were still on the turf. Then Mr Shinn yelled, "get off the turf!" We had to run to our class lines and Miss Fisher was calling out the roll. Then Miss Fisher told Anchal to tell Mrs Strang that we were all safe. Anchal went to tell Mrs Strang and then she came back and sat down. Next Mrs Ritchie explained how she had burnt her toast - but she asked us to keep it a secret. Suddenly a big, ginormous, red fire truck came zooming through the school gate. Two firemen came out of the big fire truck with their red and yellow helmet and their special clothes that don't catch on fire. They went up to the smokey staffroom to check that it was safe, then they came back down and gave us the 'all clear' sign. Then we went back to play. It was a very chaotic lunchtime!

"Weee oooo weeee ooo!" "There is a fire!" I thought "what could be happening?" On a sunny Monday afternoon I was playing outside and suddenly there was a really loud fire alarm sound. So I raced to the courts like a motorbike and sat down on the hard ground. After that Miss Fisher called the roll to make sure that everyone was safe. Then Anchal let Mrs Strang know that everyone was here. Suddenly a big, red fire truck came to our school and some people with their handsome fire suits and fire gear came out of the truck. They then had a look to make sure that the staffroom was ok. Next they came to the courts to tell us that everything was ok. After that we ran as fast as we could to go and make the most of the little bit of lunchtime that we had left. It was a crazy lunchtime!

"Weee oooo weee ooooo! Please evacuate the building!" I was enjoying my lunch when suddenly the fire alarm went off and everybody had to assemble on the courts. I sprinted to find my class and when I got there Miss Fisher was taking the roll. After she had finished taking the roll Anchal went and told Mrs Strang that Room 12 were all here and safe. Next thing we knew a ginormous red firetruck came zooming towards us and two firemen stepped out of the firetruck. After that the two firemen checked the staffroom and then they came out of the staffroom and told us that everything was ok. We then went back out to play. When the alarm went off I felt scared and I bet you're wondering what caused all this smoke... Well Mrs Ritchie burnt her toast! It was a very exciting lunchtime!
