We voted for a new imaginative area recently and there was an overwhelming vote in favour of a fire station/engine. We couldn’t believe our luck when a real fire engine arrived from Clarkston fire station and we got to climb into the cab and  try on hemets and breathing apparatus! We squirted the hoses at the trees and the wall and great fun was had by all.

That was our last forest visit till after the Easter break when a new group of children will go. We have been learning to use tools safely, build nests and dens and have been finding out about what creatures might live in the underground house that we found. Magnifying glasses and torches came in very handy here!

We are looking forward to a well earned break over Easter and wish everyone a happy holiday. Remember to get outside and play!
