Special visit for Combe Down children thanks to bus-driving parent

The special visit was organised by teachers Mr O’Neill and Mr Harris, and saw Elvis Amamut, a First Bus driver, bring a bus to the school grounds.

The children’s term topic was Space and Transport, and the visit provided an exciting and practical way to learn about the bus driving profession.

Dressed in his work uniform, Elvis arrived at the school with a bright purple bus, inviting the class on board.

Each child had the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat and ring the stop bells while Elvis talked about his job and shared insights into a day in the life of a bus driver.

Elvis also took the time to guide the class on a tour of the engine bay at the back of the bus, providing further learning opportunities about engines.

Jane Gascoigne and Jo Bird, Co-Headteachers of Combe Down Primary School said: “We are proud to continue making sure our curriculum is engaging, relatable and captures the attention of children of all ages.

“Our youngest children were absolutely enthralled by the recent bus driver visit and spoke about it with their loved ones for days afterwards.

“It is moments like this that create lasting memories and learning opportunities for our children.”
