Constable Kendrick

We have been working with Constable Kendrick. She has been teaching us about how to be safe in the car and we had a turn in her patrol car. We annoyed the seniors by turning on the siren and talking through the police radio. Miss Harvey would make a good policeman. Today we went with room 4 and 6 for a walk around Woodville, we learnt about how to cross the road safely. Remember Stop, Look and Listen!!!!!
