A huge thank you to Mrs Lovick who visited Hedgehogs class today in her other role as a volunteer for Dartmoor Search and Rescue. She taught the children all about what the Search and Rescue team do and gave them advice on how to stay safe on the moors. The highlight for the children was getting to explore the Search and Rescue Landrover and equipment!
