Police, fire and ambulance












Helping keep children safe
Each year the Child Accident Prevention Trust organises a Child Safety Week during June. The Buckenham Pre-school Group make full use of this time to teach their children many important lessons.
They had visit from local Police Community Support Officers Laura Key and Gary Szarbo with a police car, the St John Ambulance came with a first response vehicle and the Attleborough Fire Service brought their fire engine (even though they did have to leave early when they were called out during their visit). Also road safety officer Ivan Ward brought along Spike the Hedgehog to pass on some road safety tips.
The local lollipop lady, Julie Taylor, called in to control the traffic during the “Beep – Beep” days when the children brought in their own ride-on toys to learn about road safety. At the same time they raised money for both the Pre-school and the road safety charity ‘Brake’.
Overall lots of useful lessons were learnt and great fun was had by all.
