Through reading, discussion and sequencing activities, pupils develop literacy skills while learning key fire safety messages that support personal safety and wellbeing.
How To Use
Share the story with the class and use the illustrations and discussion questions to explore the importance of smoke alarms and the fire safety message: Get Out, Stay Out and Call 999. Pupils then sequence the storyboard images and retell or write about the events in the correct order.
