There are two 1st grade classes, totally 32 kids. I am not sure if the kids were more excited about the fire station or riding the train.
The kids got partnered up with someone and they were supposed to stay together the whole field trip. Obviously Sami was very happy with who she was assigned.
The time at the fire station started with a talk from the police chief. He answered the kids questions (with the help of a translator) and told the kids all about the fire station and the people who worked there. The questions the kids asked were funny. The kids seemed very concerned about the fire station catching on fire and if they had games like an xbox 360 to play while waiting for fire calls.
Then the kids got a tour where they were able to see where the firemen sleep while on shift and their workout room.
Then came the fun! We got to go see all the fire trucks and climb on them!
Then the teachers tried to get a class picture. As you can see, that didn't work out so well.
After everyone had a turn to climb on the firetrucks, try on the clothes and see everything, we said goodbye to the firemen and took the train back to school.
More pictures from the day can be seen here.
