Our adventure began with a fun story all about getting lost in a toy museum. We listened carefully and discovered lots of clues that would help us on our very own toy hunt!

The children became toy detectives as they searched for and discovered their very own old toys using the clues. We then had the wonderful opportunity to handle and explore a selection of old toys, finding out what toys were like in the past and how they were different from the toys we play with today.

But the fun didn't stop there! We got creative and became toy designers, making our very own moving toys using just paper and straws. We loved experimenting with how to make our toys move!

We had a brilliant day full of storytelling, exploring, investigating and creating. The children were fantastic and made us so proud with their curiosity, enthusiasm and wonderful behaviour throughout the trip.

The theme for Earth Day this year was "Our Power, Our Planet", which highlighted the importance of individual and collective action in caring for the environment.  It reminds us that small everyday choices made by schools, communities and families can have a powerful impact on the future of our planet.

The children were excited as they got the chance to sit inside the fire engine and explore all the different equipment that firefighters wear to keep them safe. 

The highlight of the afternoon was definitely getting to have a go with the powerful hose! Everyone was amazed by how strong the water was.

A huge thank you to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue for taking the time to visit us. We all learned so much and had a fantastic time! It was a truly memorable experience for our children.

We had a great day together.
