A fire in the farm

May 30, 2018

Would a fire in the farm be a good thing? Students in grades Prep, 1 and 2 discussed this and decided that a fire could be dangerous because:

  • Fire can burn plants or people
  • Burns hurt
  • Smoke can hurt your eyes and throat and
  • Little fires can turn into big fires.... BUT

Fire can be good when it's small and we stay safe. It's good for:

  • Cooking
  • Keeping us warm
  • Giving light and
  • The ash can help soil.

So we had a safe fire in the farm and we watched and wondered as we burned some of the dead branches:

Fire, fire, sing a song.

Fire, fire when I see

The powerful light shining on me."
