This morning we went a visit to the Lifeboat.
We all sat very well to listen to the information at the start in the Lifeboat hut before splitting into 2 groups - half went onto the Lifeboat and the other half stayed in the hut to find out more about Lifeboats. We swapped over activities after a wee while.
In the Lifeboat hut, we were show some of the important items that are needed on the Lifeboat. We got to try on a crash helmet and a life jacket. It gave us all a bit of a fright when it was inflated!
On the Lifeboat, we got to explore the inside. We were able to sit in the drivers seat and pretend to steer the boat. There were lots of buttons and maps to look at that they use when they are out in the water to help them find and rescue people in trouble.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our outing and found out lots of information about the important job that a Lifeboat does.
How exciting getting a chance to go on the lifeboat. It is really interesting finding out how they work to help people in trouble at sea. I hope you all learned lots about what they do.
