Colchester Fire Station Trip

On Monday Ms. Barnett's class and our class walked to one of the two Colchester fire stations in town, just down the street from our school. We learned so much about some of the very important community helpers right here in town. We learned about lots of the tools fire fighters use and the gear that they wear to fight fires. One of the fire fighters helped Ms. Barnett put on all of the fire gear so students could see all the parts and see that even though a fire suit can look scary there is someone friendly who you can trust inside. Both classes also got a chance to sit in all of the different seats inside a fire truck and watch one of the firemen slide down the fire pole! First graders have been learning about community helpers during our social studies theme time and our trips in town have helped us to meet some of Colchester's community helpers.
