# Time For School! #

This morning the children are outside

learning about road safety.

Mrs Cartmell is teaching them how to cross the road.

Can you see the black and white stripes on the ground?

What animal do you know that's black and white?

-Zebra, zebra!

-That's right, so that's really easy to remember

because it's called a zebra crossing!

This is a safe place to cross.

And sometimes there'll be a lollipop man or lady

-to help you over.

-Toby's going to be the lollipop man.

Look! He's helping Lucy, Amelie and Maisie cross the road.

-Step into the road. And you put your stick down and say stop.

-Stop!

And you cars, you have to wait.

-Now, is it safe to cross?

-Yes.

Is it safe, Toby?

-Is everybody safely cross?

-Yes.

Right, Toby, you come out of the road now and let the cars go.

It's Jacob's turn to hold the lollipop stop sign.

Look. He stopped the cars so Maisie and Tom can cross safely.

Now the cars can go.

Nice and slowly please, drivers.

Oh! What's Lily-May got?

It says no entry.

-It means...

-What do you think Lily-May's sign means?

No cars this way. You'll have to find another road.

Miss Mills has invited some grown-ups in

to talk to the class about safety.

-Now, children, what have we been thinking about at school?

-Police.

The police officers. Mmm.

Has anyone got any ideas who it might be that's come to visit?

-The police!

-Who could it be?

Police. Do you think so?

I think Toby may know.

Children, these are our two visitors. PC Wayne and PC Emile.

-Hello, boys and girls.

-Hello!

-I'm PC Wayne Brown.

I am a neighbourhood officer and I help look after you all

and make sure that you're safe.

Now could I ask, do you all know what to do

in the case of emergency?

-Do you know what telephone number to dial?

-999.

-999. Well done.

What do you think a police officer carries around with them

when they walk around on the streets?

The phone thing.

Yes, which is this radio, here.

-A badge.

-Oh!

-Look at that.

I have got an ID badge as well. Anybody else?

-A police hat.

-Helmet.

-OK.

-Wow!

-Very hard-wearing. Do you want to pass it round?

-Please.

-I'll leave that there.

-It's PC Jacob!

And there's officer Jamie.

Police ladies will have this type of helmet.

-Would anybody else like to try it on?

-Me!

Doesn't Danielle look important!

Also, I have got some handcuffs.

When do you think a police officer will use these?

THEY ALL ANSWER

Put them on their hands, yeah?

-Why do you think we need to put them on their hands?

-If they're naughty!

-Exactly. Right, who's going to show us around your police station?

-Me!

Look! Everyone is dressing up in police uniforms.

And I'm wearing my purple doadly-doadly!

Lucy, I think that helmet may be a little big for you!

Welcome to the class police station.

Julian inspects the pretend jail.

-So are you in jail?

-How did you lock it?

That's it. Out you come.

Well done, boys and girls.

And what's happening here?

They're making fingerprints. Look at the patterns.

-Do you want to take my fingerprints?

-Yes.

-OK. Tell me what to do, then.

Everyone's fingerprints are different

-and policemen can use them to help find people.

-Oh!

-For five minutes.

-Five minutes? That's a long time.

That's a nice, good print, that is.

What brilliant police boys and girls!

I wonder why Miss Mills is taking everyone outside.

-Wow!

-Look! A police car.

Look at the lights on the front.

The reason why we have these lights, it's so that other road users

and pedestrians can see us coming.

When you see a police car like this with the lights on, what else

can you expect to hear?

-Nee-naw, nee-naw.

-Are you all ready for the nee-naws?

-Yes.

OK.

Jack and Toby can't wait to hear the siren.

Three, two, one...

SIREN WAILS

-That was awesome.

-Did you like that?

-Yeah, we loved that.

-You like that?

-Yes.

-Good.

-How exciting.

-They're allowed to go inside.

-You see that button there.

That says 999, doesn't it? If you press that button once... OK.

So, now the blue lights on the outside of the car should be on. OK.

But what about the sound?

So, if you want the nee-naws, Phoenix, press that button there,

press it once.

SIREN WAILS

Press it again.

-Well done.

-Right, children.

-We're going to say a big bye-bye and a big thank you.

-Thank you!

You are very, very welcome and thank you for having us.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

-Good.

BOTH: Bye-bye!

SIREN WAILS

What are those children going to build with the blocks?

-Do you think it might be a police car?

-Here's some wheels.

How clever. Their building blocks fit together.

Where do you think the wheels should go, Lucy?

Now we can put the wheels on.

-Looks like Miss Mills is going to help.

-Have you made this?

-How many people is it supposed to hold?

-Six.

-So what do we need to do?

-Make it bigger.

-Make it bigger.

Good boy, Dylan.

To make a bigger car, they'll need more building blocks.

We need lots more.

It's OK.

We've got some more bits.

THEY CHATTER

Is that big enough?

Let's see if we can get a very big wheel.

That's great.

Wow! Shea has found a big wheel.

THEY CHATTER

This wheel's so heavy!

One, two, three, four, five, six...

seven, eight, nine, ten,

11, 12...

We've got 12.

Isn't that too many wheels?

-We were trying to do it but it keeps getting messier.

-Oh, never mind.

-Shall we rebuild it?

-Yes.

All right, let's get the yellow and blue ones for the side

cos they're the right colours for a police car.

Brilliant. Great. I think this will hold six, do you?

-How many wheels do we need?

-We need one, two, three...

-four...

-Four wheels. Good idea.

I am so impressed with this. It's a brilliant police car.

-Do you want to put a roof on?

-Yes.

We need to test it now to see whether it's big enough

to hold six people. You're three, so how many more do you need?

-Six.

-You need six, but you've got three, so it's three more.

All aboard for a ride in the police car.

I will come, too.

I will come, too.

Get inside carefully.

We're testing our car to see if six children fit inside.

-Hold on tight.

-Has your police car been big enough for six children?

-Yes.

-I can see seven. One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven.

Seven children. Quick, go to your emergency.
