Later in the morning our guests went on a tour of the village which included a visit to St. John’s church and an interesting talk by Mr. Gwyn Petty.

Visit by the Fire Service

Posted on March 19, 2010 by admin

The Pre Prep had a wonderful time when Porthcawl Fire Brigade came to talk to us about how to keep safe. The fireman told us a story about a little girl called Tanni who found matches and caused a fire in her bedroom.

Some of us could try on the fireman’s helmet, boots, leggings, jacket and gloves. Now Parents, the exciting bit is about to be heard! We all went outside to the fire engine and got to sit on the driver’s seat and put on the siren. We also had a go at squirting water from the hose and hitting a target. You might be shocked because the seniors were looking out of their classroom windows— getting a bit jealous because they did not get a turn!
