People who help us
In Nursery we have been learning all about different people who help us such as police officers, fire fighters, dentists, teachers and the ambulance service.
We have learnt about who the people that help us are and when we might need them.
We had a visit from police officers Amy and Matt who brought with them a police vehicle for the children to explore and told us all about how they help us in our community. The children loved it.
