This term’s theme is on “People who Help us”. They’ve been learning about postmen, firemen, doctors etc. In line with the theme, his school organised an outing to the Central Fire Station. I had been meaning to bring him after our last trip to the Alexandra Fire Station, for the kind officer there informed me that there is a museum next to the Central Fire Station which displays antique fire engines and has other interesting exhibits for children.
The outing took place during the F1 weekend, so a lot of the vehicles were on standby and the station tour was curtailed somewhat. He nonetheless enjoyed badgering the officer with lots of questions, and managed to fuel his fascination with ambulances by getting into one for a look-see.
The pictures above were part of the follow-on activity…we were supposed to come up with captions together for his “show ‘n’ tell” this week. We were also supposed to visit the Philatelic museum just next door for him to post a postcard to his teacher and experience for himself the postal system.
Glad that his school makes the subjects come alive with initiatives like that.
