Ambulance visit
What a wonderful experience our children at Little Owls Day Nursery got to experience this morning.
We are very lucky to have parents at the setting who have such an array of job roles/professions and when we were asked by a family would we like a visit from an ambulance and a critical care car from the air ambulance service we certainly said yes please!!
The children have an interest in vehicles and emergency services and such opportunities to interact and further their knowledge with this first hand is invaluable. This extends on our childrens learning from our Mini First Aid session that our barn owls were lucky enough to have a few weeks ago from Mini First Aid Norfolk.
Our children got the opportunity to go out in small groups along with their familiar adults and investigate the different parts of the ambulance and car; we enjoyed setting off the sirens, seeing the lights flash, looking at different equipment, kit, trying on uniform and asking the lovely paramedics lots of questions.
“ red and blue lights”
“Look a yellow car”
“There’s a clock up there”
“Oh wow”
“What’s that noise”
“I have to go to the doctors for my puff puff”
“I’m not really poorly”
“What’s this for”
“I liked sitting in the front”
“Look I’m driving”
“999”
“Where’s the 999 button”
“Nee naw”
“I didn’t like that it’s noisy”
Thank you so much for taking the time from your busy work schedules to organise this for us today- it meant so much to all of our children!
