Cherry Class went to visit Forest Row Fire station as part of their learning topic for the “The Great Fire of London”. First we had a talk about fire safety at home and what to do if there was a fire at night. Then we tried on the clothes that fire fighters wear – the helmet was really heavy. We went and looked at the fire engine and had a talk about what was on a fire engine. The best part was being allowed to have a go at squirting the water out of the hose. Lastly we were given the chance to go in the back and front of the fire engine and have a look at the Satnav and other equipment. Instead of a coach, we went back to school on a double decker bus which was very exciting! All in all we had a really fantastic and thank you to Forest Row fire station for a really informative and interesting trip.
