Hi,
I'm covering the topic of people that help us next term, but am struggling to find appropriate pictures/resources to use with 4yr olds locally. If anyone works in one of these occupations and could help I would love to hear from you. Thankyou.

I can probably get hold of some road safety education stuff if that would help?

As Awen suggested, they would probably identify with Lollipop ladies (bit PC where I'm from - I suspect pictures of Lollipop men will crop up!!)

Let me know and I can ring a few contacts, and see what pictures/resources I can get if you are interested

Thankyou all, I'm looking for any information with nice bright pictures that we can talk about, ie of a policeman etc. All the resources I've come across have far too much detailed information and not enough pictures to stimulate discussion and keep a 4 yr olds interest.
We don't have a policeman/lollipop lady/shops etc where we live, but Iam hoping to get visits to the fireshed, coastguard and the Dr to visit.

Hi Aimsmum, Sorry for not keeping you up to date re the gameboy, I have been chasing the local post office, but the post mistress has been on holiday, anyway I have the certificate of posting so will email you. I have a big space to fill re; people who help us, so any bright info would be great. Thankyou.
