Fire station visit

On Tuesday 24th April, Year 1 went on a very exciting trip to Norwich. We went to the Diamond Jubilee Trowse Fire Station!

The firefighters told us all about how they keep safe and help people. It was very interesting and we got to ask lots of questions like;
"Do you use foam to put fires out?"  "Do you rescue cats from trees?"  "Why do you have pop-up cones?"   We were able to have a go at squirting the hoses and climb inside the fire truck - it was so exciting!

On Monday we had been learning all about The Great Fire of London. Therefore, we knew that in 1666 there was no fire brigade to help people. We found out that the fire brigade was one of the good things that came about because of the fire.

After our tour of the fire station we went to Eaton Park to have our lunch and a run around. We then went back on the coach which took us up to Mousehold Heath. The view was amazing! We spotted the cathedral, lots of tall buildings and houses too. We then worked in pairs to complete our own sketches of the city.
