Following on from the Mayday Mile fundraiser that the Little Adventurers and Little Ramblers participated in, we contacted the local branch, Stornoway RNLI and arranged for a very special visitor to come and see the children… Stormy Stan!
The children created a banner with some adult support to celebrate that they had completed the Mayday challenge together. We displayed the banner along with balloons and the children enjoyed playing with some balloons in our garden. We watched a video of Stormy Stan dancing before he came and so we had a little party, dancing to music too.
We saw Stormy Stan walking down Jamieson Drive and there was a sense of excitement as he came closer. The children greeted Stormy Stan when he arrived and he came into a section of the outdoor area where the children could see him better. We showed Stormy Stan our best dance moves and he gave the children a big clap!
Stormy Stan’s buddy thanked us for all the walking we’ve been doing and for the money we raised for the RNLI. The children then sat for a photo with Stormy Stan before he had to head back to the harbour to work on polishing the lifeboat. It was nice to meet you, Stormy Stan!
