Visit to RNLI, Troon

Primary four travelled  by train to Troon this morning  where we visited the library for a story telling session with librarian, Annette. We then walked to RNLI lifeboat station. where we were met by Coxwain, Joe Millar. He informed us that the station covers the lower Firth of Clyde with its two lifeboats – a D class inshore lifeboat and a Trent class all-weather lifeboat. We really enjoyed the opportunity to board each of these. After lunch we made our way back along the ballast bank and spent time gathering shells on the south beach before heading back to the railway station.

Enjoying a story, read by Annette.
It’s a good walk along the ballast bank as long as it’s not raining!
