During our Occupations Weeks, the children learned about the different work that our parents do. We were fortunate enough to get a visit from our friendly Policemen and their Sniffer Dogs.
Policeman Andy talked to the children about what it is they do, how they assist people and how important it is to know who to turn to when you need help.
The children also learned about how the dogs had to go to special dog school to learn how to do their job of sniffing for bad things. The children even checked their pockets to make sure they didn't have bad things in them before meeting the Sniffer dogs called Bob and Troy. Once outside, the Policemen Andy and Jim showed how the dogs looked for dangerous things. Bob got very, very still when he smelled what he was looking for... then, he got a treat for a job well done!
We also got the chance to wear a few hats which the police use: one for traffic, and another for the lady police.
They might have been a little big for our heads, but we can grow into them.
One of the Ladies got the chance to be put in handcuffs just to see how it felt (there may or may not have been cheers of "That's it, get her!" from the other ladies). The boys tried to work out how to unlock the handcuffs and save her from being trapped.
Thanks very much, Andy and Jim!
