As part of learning about jobs in our community, the children had trips out\u00a0this week to visit the fire station. They got a close up view of the equipment in a fire engine, as well as the fire officer’s uniform, and put their hands to their ears as the blue lights and siren were turned on. Of course, no visit to the fire station is complete without getting an opportunity to sit up in the fire engine and try out the big hose which was great highlight for everyone.
\nAs well as learning about a firefighter’s job, we had a great team teaching the children about road safety through role play. The children showed themselves to be knowledgeable and certainly followed the rules of road safety on the walk to and from the fire station.
\nHuge thanks go to all the fire team who looked after us and made our visit such fun as well as to the parents who accompanied us – without parent helpers these trips out would not be possible. We hope that you enjoy these photos of the Rainbow Room children and will post photos soon of the Raindrop Room’s visit.<\/p>\n
