About Police

Thursday （27/062012）

a)      Police.

l       Kids were very interested at police. Whenever they played in the morning, they loved the role-play.

l       Thus, Jun Qian brought a storybook on police to share with the class. It’s about USA police.

l       Barney brought BJ to the police station for a tour.

Uniform: Kids learnt about their uniforms and their gadgets. These include beeper, badge, handcuff, belt, cap, a baton and also a gun.

Outdoor duties: They helped at accident scenes, at parade scenes, they patrol at neighbourhoods to prevent crime. Traffic police helps to ease the jam. They summon drivers who go against the traffic rules. Police dogs are trained to sniff items and tracked the criminals. I gave them an example of kidnappers.

Indoor activities: Indoor police officers monitor the city situation through computer and screen. If there was an accident, they could see through the CCTV and send immediate help. If the public called 999, the operators would connect them to the appropriate department such as fire brigade or ambulance.

l       Police job could be dangerous although it helps the society a lot.

l       The book also briefly introduced the patrol car which has got a siren for emergency. It also has a radio on its dashboard. Patrol cars of different countries are of different colour.

b)      Video Clip.

l       We watched clips on the traffic police motorbikes and also police cars. Generally, they drive Proton Waja. However, some also drive 4 wheel drive vehicles for special tasks. We also watched their various duties.

c)       Role-Play.

l       This time round, the kids went out to playground and play. They rode on cars as police cars. They discussed amongst themselves on their roles without my interference. Roles: traffic police, tow truck driver, thief, traffic lights, police station and ambulance.
