The children at Flying Start @ Duchy had a special visit from two local police officers!

They came to the nursery, and brought along a police car and a police motorbike for the children to see… wow!

 

The children were very excited, and even got to sit in the car and on the motorbike!

The officers talked to the children about some of the different equipment they carry…

  

…and they talked to the children all about how they have sirens on their cars and motorbikes – so that they can get to emergencies quickly to help people.

 

The children learned lots and were so excited to meet the policemen…

Ahuge thank you to the local police officers for making the time to visit Flying Start @ Duchy!
