SARA visit Widden Primary School

 

On Tuesday 27th March, crew members from SARA Sharpness & Wyre Forest Stations visited Widden Primary School in Gloucester as part of Year 2’s project on Lifeboats.  The children will shortly undertake a Sponsored Spell for SARA and have selected appropriate words as part of their ‘test’.  They saw pictures of the other SARA lifeboats and had a close look at SARA 2 which is based at Sharpness.  

Geoff Dawe (coxswain) explained the necessity for wearing drysuit/lifejacket/helmet and some of the equipment carried on the lifeboat.  The children presented the crew with pictures they had drawn especially for the occasion.
