As part of our wider curriculum topic Community: Our Local Emergency Services, Year 2 had an exciting trip to Poplar Fire Station this week.
When we arrived, the firefighters gave us a warm welcome and told us all about the important jobs they do to keep people safe. We learned how quickly they need to get ready when there is an emergency and how the fire engines are always prepared with all the special equipment.
We were amazed to see the fire engine up close! The firefighters showed us inside the fire truck and explained what all the different buttons and tools were for. Everyone was so excited to have a turn with the water hose. Each pair had a go spraying water with their partner, just like real firefighters!
The children had such an exciting time at Poplar Fire Station and learned so much about how firefighters keep us safe. They enjoyed exploring the fire engines, trying on helmets, and asking brilliant questions. A big thank you to the firefighters for welcoming us and showing us the amazing work they do every day. The trip has definitely inspired Year 2 to think about how they can help keep themselves and others safe too!
