Fire! Fire!
Last week, Year Two were visited by Tyne and Wear Fire Service.
The firefighters drove the fire engine onto the school yard, so the children could look closely at the equipment and experience what it is like to sit inside the emergency vehicle.
The boys and girls used the hose to squirt water, beeped the horn, wore a firefighter’s helmet and used a thermal imaging camera.
At the end of the session, the children asked the firefighters questions including what is the best and worst part of their job. They told the children the worst part is having to miss time with family at Christmas and for birthdays. However, the best part is teaching children all about fire safety.
