Last week, we explored our locality as part of our geography topic, conducting fieldwork to study the geography of our school and its surrounding environment.
As we reached the fire station to survey the traffic, recycling bins and litter, Mr Nash rang the doorbell…
Please can we have a look at your fire engine?
Moments later, the shutter opened and out drove the shiny, red fire engine!
The team at Wetherby Fire Station were so generous with their time, giving the children a tour of the vehicle and its tools, providing lots of opportunities to ask questions. The children really enjoyed the experience and asked some fantastic questions, representing our school fantastically with their impeccable manners.
Thank you to everyone at Wetherby Fire Station for being so accommodating with our unscheduled surprise visit. A lesson in “if you don’t ask, you don’t get.”…
