Keeping Ourselves Safe

On Wednesday the police called Constable Ross, came to our class. He taught us how to keep ourselves safe. First he taught us that it's good to know our house number and street so when we get lost, we know where we live. Two days later he came again to our class. This time he taught us what are bad secrets and good surprises and he also tried to trick us. I felt smarter because I have learnt new things.

Teacher comment:

You have all the parts of a recount.

Next steps:

Try to expand on your ideas. What did Constable Ross do to try to truck us?
