Severe weather at the end of last term meant that we had to postpone some of our visits to the police station as part of our work in the community. Last week we were able to take the Sunshine morning children and all the afternoon children to see what the inside of a police station is like and to learn about a police officer’s job.
\nAs you can see, many of the children tried out the cells although they weren’t too keen on the hard beds or the clothes that some prisoners have to wear. We also saw the room where interviews take place and got our fingerprints taken. The police van, of course, was particularly popular, especially when the children were able to try out the blue light and the siren.
\nThank you to all the parents who came with us on our visit and to the police officers for taking time to show us round. As always, the children behaved so well and several came back to Nursery with thoughts of a future career so maybe we will see them patrolling the streets of Annan in years to come.
