We have had a very exciting day today as our friends from Byker Fire Station came to visit us in their fire truck. We have been learning all about The Great Fire of London this half term so it was an amazing way to end our topic. The showed us some tools and equipment, let us squirt water out of the hose and told us what to do if there was a fire. I'm sure you will agree from our faces in the pictures that we had a fantastic morning!
