Stop, Drop, and Cover Your Mop.

Today, we had an earthquake drill as part of our regular health and safety practice.

When this is done, a teacher calls out earthquake, stop, drop and cover your mop and the children know that they need to stop what they are doing, drop to the ground , and cover their heads.

Most of the children did this immediately they heard the call, however some still needed reminding.

It would be great if you could talk with your child about what we do in an earthquake too, so as to reinforce this with them, and maybe even have a practice at home.
