This week, the preschoolers visited the Higashinada Police Station to observe some of the responsibilities of police officers. The students enjoyed getting into the driver's seat of a police car and police motorcyle. The police officers patiently answered a number of the students' questions about their day-to-day tasks, in an effort to keep us safe. It was also the perfect opportunity for the students to brush up on which emergency numbers to call for specific emergency situations.
The cherry on top was that we got to watch a group of officers take part in martial art training, which is part of how they apprehend criminals and keep the public safe. The training was fast-paced and riveting - the students even cheered for the officers as they completed their drills. We were very fortunate to get to witness something like this!
Over the course of this unit, the students have grown in knowledge, responsibility and their appreciation for those who play roles in our different communities.
And so, our How We Organise Ourselves unit of inquiry has come to a close.

Our caterpillars entered the chrysalis stage earlier this week. They may emerge as butterflies next week. Good luck to our insect friends!
Enjoy the Autumn break!
