Heacham Junior pupils enjoy a police-themed day and visit!
Pupils at Heacham Junior enjoyed a visit from PC Smith, who delivered informative workshops and lessons on a variety of topics.
The topics covered by PC Smith included: cyberbullying, hate crime and online safety with mobile phone use.
As the pictures show, pupils (even some teachers) had the opportunity to dress up! Pupils across all year groups tried on uniform brought in by PC Smith after he delivered the workshops.
This event hopes to inspire our pupils - both by informing them of the importance of the issues discussed but also the opportunities that come with a career in the police force.
A Year 5 pupil spoke of the event, "We learnt about children's safety and hate crime and how the police respond it. I really liked having the opportunity to ask him questions."
Another pupil explained, "I had fun wearing the police officers uniform - I hadn't done that before!"
This visit was just the start of our jounrey with 'Pol-Ed', a range of new resources produced by the police to educate pupils around matters of safety that they need to be aware of.
Speaking about the day, PC James Smith told us, "It was a pleasure to visit the school and I found that the children were very engaged and participated fully with the sessions provided. I hope the school can continue to benefit from using Pol-Ed in the future as part of their PHSE curriculum."
