As part of our focus on community helpers and history, we went on an excursion of Donnybrook's community with Rooms 2 and 3. We took up two buses, mixed groups and visited a number of places around Donnybrook.
We went to the local museum where we saw a lot of old things.
|
An old phone. How different
is it to mum's mobile? |
|
An old slate used at school. Now we have
mini whiteboards or iPads. |
|
A typewriter. Today we might
use a computer instead. |
We met some firefighters at the Donnybrook Fire Station.
|
We learnt about fire protection gear. |
|
The firefighters demonstrated using
the jaws of life. |
|
One of our parent helpers volunteered
in the stretcher. |
|
Some of us got to hold the fire hose. |
We got a tour of the Police Station where we saw where the guns get kept, the court room, the old lock up, the current cell, and a paddy wagon.

Naughty kids locked up in the cell.
They don't look too happy about it! |

More naughty kids in the paddy wagon |
|
Trying on a bullet proof vest |
|
Getting arrested |
We had a tour of the post office and learnt how the mail gets sorted.
|
Where the parcels are kept for collection |
|
We posted a letter and followed the process to
sorting the mail. |
Our last stop was the famous Apple Fun Park.
We had such a good time (even though the weather wasn't the best) and we thank the parent helpers and Donnybrook community for such a great day.
