Sergeant Allan Visits Room18

This week we had a visitor to tell us all about his job as part of our unit on Careers and Occupations. It was pretty cool! We found out so much about their important role in our community.

We liked how you told us that police officers have different jobs to do and there is a kid's jail as well. We also liked the part where we got to try the handcuffs. We think that you are a kind police officer. We liked the part where you told us that the taser has things like fish hooks and it sticks to your body. - Aakrish and Shyla

We really liked touching the equipment you brought in. We really liked putting our hands in your hand cuffs. Both of us enjoyed everything that we did with you.

We both loved having you teach us about police officers. We hope you can come again sometime this year. - Jisha and Amelia

  
We learnt police have pepper spray and they spray people who are running away from them. It was our first time looking at real things. The handcuffs were really interesting because they were not as heavy as I thought they would be. When we put on the handcuffs it was really amazing because it had been our first time putting it on. It had a key so we don’t get stuck. We liked the baton because it was amazing when you flick it, it is really cool. We also liked it because we got to shake it. - Aryan and Ayush


 

Some of the things a police officer needs are handcuffs, guns, pepper spray, police jacket and a radio. We now know more about police officers. We all hope you will always catch the criminals. - Jay and Eashan

Thank you for letting us have a try on your handcuffs and play with your baton as well and your other stuff.  I did not know that your vest can be heavy. Or that there is a children’s jail. I did not know that, too. I never knew that police officers have a lot of equipment to fight criminals. Also, I did not know that police officers get a medal. You are the kindest policeman that we ever had. - Bailey and Amy 

 

Mr Allan, we liked when you put the handcuffs on Room 18. We also liked the police officer baton and the pepper spray story. - Roelani and Aleeza

Thank you for taking your time to come in and teach us a lot of important parts of your police officer job. We really enjoyed the stories that you told us and thank you for answering our questions.

We learned a lot about your equipment.  We learned there are lots of police who have a taser. We never knew that there were two wires in the taser.  The two wires had to get into the skin to work and we never even knew a thing about that.  

I thought that you had salt spray in the pocket but it was a pepper spray.  The story that you told was really funny.  It must have been annoying to have pepper spray in the eyes, maybe uncomfortable. Let’s hope that it does not happen again.

Those trials of real handcuffs were so cool! That was my first experience with a real pair of handcuffs. We hope we will have another chance to have a play with those handcuffs.

We loved your visit and all the stories you told us.  We hope we will see you again. - Caleb and Ayaan
