Yesterday, we went to Police Day at Lucy McCormick. Students were excited to explore a police car and motorcycle, as well as meet police dogs and horses.
Students also had the opportunity to ask police officers questions about anything they wanted. Questions asked included:
How does the siren work?
Why is there a computer in the car?
What is this thing? (A walkie talkie)
Is the horse nice? Will it bite?
How does the dog help police?
Why is the other dog barking so much?
Back at school, we bridged this some more to see where interest was, but students are more engaged by the plan for turning our drama centre into a grocery store right now. They were hard at work making posters for different food prices this morning.
But we managed to get some good photos during police day despite not being able to see my view finder in the sun (Still, too much sun is a nice problem to have). These are the ones that turned out:
 |
| Investigating the back seat of a police car |
 |
| Looking at the engine |
 |
| Sitting in the driver's seat |
 |
| Petting the horses |
 |
| Trying out the motorbikes |
 |
| Meeting a police dog |
Many did not want to approach the dog directly. The one in the van sounded quite fierce, but the one with the officer was very sweet, though definitely a licker.
 |
| So, we took a class photo with the dog instead. |
Sincerely,
Ms. Goegan
P.S. Due to watching the talent show, we missed our library period this week, but we'll try to get an extra period in there next week somewhere.
