This week, we were really fortunate to have our local policing team come into school and visit us in Reception! We have been – busy learning about different people who help us within our community this half-term, so this visit provided a fantastic opportunity for us to see what it really means to be a police officer. Many of us are enjoying using our imaginations to take on the role of police officers within provision and now we have much more knowledge to inform our play! Thank-you to our visitors for giving us such an exciting and informative experience!

We began our learning experience by trying on some special police hats and hi-vis jackets, as we took on the role of Police Officers! We then walked over to see a real police van, watching the flashing blue lights and listening to the siren! As we learned about the different parts of the police van, we were able to get inside and see it for ourselves. Some of us sat in the front cab, some in the back and some of us even had a go at getting into the cage!

We all listened carefully as our special visitors told us more about how the police help us and our community. We were eager to ask lots of questions to learn more. We all enjoyed this wonderful opportunity to learn through this memorable, real-life experience!
