Sergeant Eilish visits P2 in St. Ita's
Fri 21 Sep 2012On Friday morning, Sergeant Eilish came to St. Ita's primary school to talk to the P2's about her very important job of being a police officer.
The children got to find out all about her uniform and why she had to wear and carry certain things, such as her hat, fluorescent jacket, handcuffs and 'walkie-talkie'. The three P2 classes had lots of interesting questions to ask Sergeant Eilish about her job and got to find out a vast array of information about why police officers are so important.
The P2's would like to say a huge thank-you to Sergeant Eilish for coming to visit us and thank you for all the 'goodies' you left for us!!!
