Going to the Disco…Year 1





 

Reception- Plumstead Firefighters

Linked to our learning about people who help us in the community, Plumstead firefighters came to visit Reception. They told us how they help the community and to ways to keep safe if we see a fire. We tried on a helmet and had a turn using the hose.
