Other events in school this week…
- We had a fire drill practice on Monday. We reminded the children how to evacuate school safely should they hear the fire alarm.
- On Friday we also had our termly Lockdown Practice. This how we explained it to the children.
A lockdown is a safety procedure we use if there's ever a situation where we need to keep everyone safe inside the building. It doesn't mean something bad is definitely happening - it just means we're being extra careful. During a lockdown, we close the doors, turn off the lights, stay quiet and wait for the teachers to say that we can carry on our work. Whilst we don’t want to cause any alarm or fear, we need to ensure that children know our procedures, should we need to use them. We call this our CODE 0 procedure. We always give children prior notice when we are due to practise this and we keep the practices as short as possible. |
