Today we were visited by Chris and Andy from the RNLI. It was Chris' last presentation- he has been visiting schools for it for 14 years. We learnt what the different flags meant at beaches and how to stay safe on the beach. He told us about some of the rescues that had happened for the lifeboat crew - one was 19 hours long - and they rescue both people and animals. Our closest lifeboat station is Teddington in London on the River Thames. We learnt that life jackets aren't inflated on land but inflate when you get in the water. We got to try the clothing on and it was big. The clothing is tight to not let any water in.
