Children will be familiar with various 'people who help us', any of whom can be incorporated into a project. However, we have chosen to focus on people who serve the community and are likely to be most familiar to children: firefighters, nurses, police officers and lollipop crossing patrol officers.
Start the project by discussing with the children all the people who help them, and the kind of help they give. During the course of the topic, encourage the children to become, in their turn, helpful people. Show them how to be supportive of each other, and to take responsibility for their own care.
