PARENTS home schooling are being urged to take advantage of a poster competition.

North Wales Fire and Rescue service are running a poster competition for children. The prize is a Lego fire station.

Youngsters are being tasked to draw a firefighter or fire engine, a rainbow of hope and include one of the following fire safety messages:

Don't forget about your cooking

Don't overload your electrics

Test your smoke alarm.

Send a name, age, a grown ups's name and contact details to press@nwales-fireservice.org.uk

Parents looking for educational resources can also visit www.nwales-fireservice.org.uk/keeping-you-safe/our-work-with-young-people/education/educational-resources-for-parents

The service has provided links, information and websites enabling children to learn more about fire safety.

This include Sparkton online game, a family safety quiz, interactive resources teaching about water safety, stories and games for KS1 and younger children and workbooks and resources for all ages, including secondary and sixth form.
