Hi Everyone,
Fire safety is a very important consideration as our country is experiencing very dry weather at this time. In addition, there has been several fires that broke out in apartments in recent months. How can we help to ensure that fire does not break out accidentally? In this week's journal writing, I would like you to reflect on this issue. To help you with your writing, I have listed some questions below:

1. Have you seen or experienced any incident of fire break out in your home or neighbourhood? If so, could you tell us what happened?
2. Can you describe what you would do if a fire were to break out in your home or outside?
3. What do you think are the causes of fire in homes or outside?
4. What can you do to prevent fire from breaking out in your home and outside?
5. Do you think our pupils are conscious of fire safety? What makes you say so?
6. If you were given a chance to introduce an activity for children to learn fire safety, what would it be and why?

I hope the questions above will stimulate you to reflect on the issue of fire safety. I am looking forward to reading your journal writing soon.

6. Do you think these activities affect your school work/studies? If so, how?
