Today, Year 1 were lucky enough to have another special visit from some special community helpers! Three police officers from Holroyd Local Area Command came to St. Anthony's this morning to teach the children about safety and to answer some tough questions about police from the past and present.
Senior Constable Lyndal discussed the different types of police and safety with the children. They learned all about Water Police, Police Rescue, detectives and many more other types of police. We also learned about good strangers like police officers, firemen, doctors and shop keepers as well as bad strangers who we tell...
"No!"
"Stop!"
"Go Away!"
After this, Police Officer Dave showed us what was on his belt. These included handcuffs, capsicum spray, a baton and he pointed to his gun (which stayed safely in the holster on his belt!). It was really interesting seeing all of these things!
The last lucky treat we enjoyed was getting to sit in the police car and speaking into the microphone. We even got to hear the 2 different sirens that police car have!
What a fun, exciting and learning-filled morning we had with the police!
