Primary 1 have been learning about people who help us. It was so nice to see so many family members come to the open afternoon where we showed our learning based on this topic.

The children have all loved having different visitors in to talk about their jobs and we can’t thank them all enough as well as the parents who volunteered too.

We had the fire department come speak to us and then they came with the fire truck. The children got to use the water hose which was so exciting.🚒🔥

We had a doctor come in too and talked about her jobs with thr different departments. The children all created great questions and showed great listening to the answers given. 🩺👩‍⚕️

We also had a postal worker come to talk to us. We were able to learn lots of fun facts such as how the letters and parcels are sorted. We were so impressed that postal workers in Barrhead know all the streets. 📮

The police also came in and they were brilliant at sharing the kind of jobs they have on a daily basis. They shared about how they help people in the community and that they will always help everyone how they can.  We also got to use the radio to speak to the station officer.  🚔🚨

Lastly we had a paramedic come in and talk about their job and how it works in an ambulance. The children were so excited to hear about the ambulance helicopters and planes to help people further away.  We used a heart rate monitor too, seeing how the beats worked.  🚑
