People Who Help Us – The Police

Week Beginning 14th March 2016

In Primary 2 this week, the pupils focused on the police service. The role play corner was set up as a police station. The children had great fun role playing the different jobs police officers do. They created their own police hats and police badges and loved using these in the role play corner.

The boys and girls created their own police puppets. Kati came up with the idea of putting on a police puppet show. Most of the pupils joined in and enjoyed putting on a performance at the police station.

The pupils found out about fingerprints this week and enjoyed using the paint to create their own fingerprint. Demi was particularly interested to find out if they were all different and why they were different.

The children had an exciting afternoon on Thursday when the police visited P1/2. Pupils loved going out to the police van and Beth was very pleased when she was put in jail!

The pupils found out that police often solve mysteries and look for clues. On Friday afternoon, I had set up an investigation for pupils. The pupils were very enthusiastic about looking for each the clues to get their prize. They loved looking for each clue and were very pleased when they found the prize of sweets!

Paramedic Week

Week beginning 7th March 2016

This week the pupils were learning about the ambulance service and paramedics. The pupils had fun learning about the different utensils that doctors use and they loved playing with the doctors’ bag from the nursery. Demi did well at naming all the utensils and when the paramedics visited us on Thursday, she was very enthusiastic to tell them what she knew.

The boys and girls had a very exciting afternoon on Thursday when the paramedics visited us. Lucas enjoyed trying on the bandages and playing with equipment.

The role play area was set up as a hospital. Everyone loved pretending they were paramedics, using the costumes and the items the paramedics left for the children. They had great fun playing in this corner. The boys and girls were also given prescription forms which they could fill out. The children had fun writing these out and they pretended to give each other medicine.

The pupils know that medicine is safe from the doctor and can identify which medicines they have used and had fun cutting and sticking these into their jotters.

Next week, Primary 2 will go onto to look at how the police help us.
