We created our own police station in the nursery a few weeks ago and have been asking many questions about what police officers do. One of our mums very kindly volunteered to take us on a trip over to the police station and show us around.
We each put our fingerprint onto our certificate before getting our mug shot taken!
We were closed in the cell with our teachers. We didn't think that it was too bad and were fascinated with the little toilet in there!
We noticed the measuring tape and realised that we weren't tall enough to be arrested but Lee-Anne could easily be arrested! We put the handcuffs on her back in the nursery! We did ask for them to be taken off again much to her relief.
We checked out all of the police vehicles and got to sit in the peedie cells. The sirens were very loud and we covered our ears!
When we got back to nursery, we had a look at all of the equipment that the police carry and were most taken with the bat, the torch and the spray. We even got to try on the police waistcoat. It was so heavy, it must be hard to run really fast with it on.
We have been reading lots of police station books back at nursery and have noticed lots of similarities with our visit. We have asked if we can see the fire station or the fire engines next! Thank you to Linsey and all at the police station for allowing us to come and see you at work. We had a great time.
What lovely photos - nice to see that you all had a great trip to the police station. It looks like it would have been a very interesting!
