After months of planning & excitement - the day had finally come! Our excursion to visit the RAAF Fire Station & also the RAAF Central Flying School (CFS) was held today BUT unfortunately Mother Nature wasn't on our side with rain & flash flooding forecast as well!
Nonetheless, we decided to go ahead with our excursion - we all rugged up, coats & beanies, scarves & jackets and headed out aboard our bus & had a simply fantastic day! For our 4 Year Old families at East Sale Kindergarten, make sure you check out our 'Learning Journal' entry for this week as we'll provide more detail & photos on exactly what the children got to do & see in there!
First stop was the RAAF Fire Station! With a brand new Fire Truck only delivered last week, we were one of the first to get the grand tour of it's fantastic features! The children were most impressed by the size of it!
After boarding the bus again, we travelled to the Central Flying School (CFS) where we were shown all the special things that a pilot wears, all their safety gear AND then the most exciting thing happened . . . we all walked out to one of the aeroplane hangers & got to look at a Roulette up close & personal! So close in fact that we even got to climb onto the wing of one & look inside where the pilot sits!
What a simply amazing day we had, despite the terrible weather. I'm sure that the children's excitement & interest in all they saw & learnt will flow over into the remaining weeks of this term as we reflect on the day & look to extend their learning opportunities at the same time!
