Year 5 had their first Mini Police session this week. To begin with PCSO Jade explained about the 2 telephone numbers that people can ring if they need help with something. For an emergency the number is 999, whereas for a non-emergency situation it would be 101. She also talked a little about the job of a police community support officer. They carry no handcuffs, batons or pepper spray and can’t arrest anyone.
The class asked her lots of great questions about the job of the police. It was amazing how much they know already and were interested to find out.
What will the children do during the sessions?
- Help the community.
- Help the school.
- Work closely with the police.
- Team building
PCSO Jade then gave the children their ‘uniform’ – a Mini Police Hi-Viz vest. A notepad and pencil and their own warrant card. They also have a work booklet. Every week when the are ‘on duty’ they will need to wear their Hi-Viz vest and have their warrant card, notepad and pencil ready.
The children were a credit to themselves and the school. Well done.
Week beginning 15/04/24
3D shapes
In maths this week the children have been looking at 3D shapes. They investigated nets to see if they could be folded to make a cube. Some predictions were made before the nets were tested. The children then shared their findings with the class. It was possible for the children to say some of the ones that would not work and why before testing them. They really enjoyed the lesson.
