The Guards visit Newcastle N.S.

We got such a surprise when the Guards came to visit. They drove the Garda van right on to the playground. Garda Maria came in to our classroom to talk to us about staying safe on the road. We asked her lots of questions. She showed us her hat, her high visibility jacket and her handcuffs. Garda Maria even put the handcuffs on us. Then we went outside and met Garda Fergus. He told us all about what the Guards do when there is an accident. He showed us the cones they use to warn other drivers and the first aid box in case anyone is injured. At the end we were allowed to sit in the Garda van, flash the lights and put on the siren. Some of us even put on Garda Maria's hat. We had so much fun.
