Flying Start @ Helston and their Coastguard Visit!

Flying Start @ Helston have had a very interesting visitor from their local community!

The local Coastguard has come into the preschool department at Flying Start @ Helston to share important information about how to stay safe at sea, the Coastguard role, equipment, protective clothing and how they help people.

Trying on helmets and goggles the children started to really get into the spirit of understanding the important protective equipment the Coastguard must wear (even if dressed up as a princess!)…

And Lizzie really got into the spirit of dressing up!! Dressed in the full coast guard kit, the children could notice reflective strips to help see her in the dark, the bright red colour of her suit and feel the material learning that it is waterproof and very warm for harsh weather conditions!

The children also got to try using the harness equipment, torches and binoculars!

Thankyou to the Coastguard for helping the children to learn so much about keeping safe, equipment, protective clothing and people in the community.
