On Tuesday 22nd October Reception had a special visit from a paramedic. Our focus text in literacy is ‘Real Superheroes’ and we have been discussing the different people who help us such as paramedics, teachers, postal workers, and supermarket workers. We know that these are some of the occupations that have impacted our lives in some way.
As a class we wrote some questions for the paramedic and had a virtual tour of inside an ambulance. We got to see and hold some of the equipment that the paramedic uses on a daily basis. He explained how he worked with other services such as the police and fire crew, that we linked back to our focus text. His work is based in London which fascinated the children in asking how fast his ambulance could go in such a busy place. Overall, we really enjoyed this visit and it inspired some of the children to want to become paramedics when they are older.
