Mr Lumb's Visit

The children in Class 1 have been learning about people who help us and thinking about the jobs they would like to do when they are older. They have spent time learning about Sir Robert Peel and how he set up the Metropolitan police. 
So far, they have learnt about the uniforms, equipment and what a policeman's job entailed  when the police force was initially set up. 

The children were very excited when Mr Lumb, who has recently retired,  came into class to share his journey as a police officer of 31 years. They excitedly tried on different hats, a gas mask and riot gear. They also saw some truncheons, handcuffs, police whistles and his medals.

Some looked more at home than others in the role of a law enforcement officer.

It was an invaluable experience to hear what it is really like to be a police officer, the types of work they do and the importance of the law. A huge thank you to Mr Lumb for giving up his spare time to reminisce with us.
