This Year 4 fire safety lesson introduces pupils to the risks of fire in the home and how to stay safe. Through discussion, images and scenarios in the accompanying presentation, pupils explore common causes of fires, how to prevent them, and what actions to take in an emergency. The lesson also emphasises the importance of smoke alarms, escape planning (Plan A and Plan B), and responsible use of the emergency services.
How To Use
Use the presentation to guide the lesson, following the slides in order. Begin with the learning objectives, then use the images and scenarios to explore how fires start, spread, and can be prevented.
Pause to ask questions and encourage discussion, helping pupils apply learning to their own homes. Cover key actions such as escape plans (Plan A and Plan B) and making a 999 call.
Finish with a quick recap to check understanding and encourage pupils to talk about fire safety and create an escape plan at home.
