On Friday the 15th May we had a visit from our local Garda, Garda Shane. Garda Shane explained the role of the Gardaí in the community to us. He showed us the different utensils he uses everyday in his job. We got to try on the Garda high-vis jacket and Garda hat. Garda Shane even pretended to use the handcuffs on one of the girls in our class! We explored the Garda car and had great fun turning the sirens and lights on and off and using the loud speaker. The day was topped off by a visit from the Garda Horse, Donagh. We learned about why the Gardaí use horses and how they are cared for. Have a look at our gallery below of our day with the Gardaí:
