Kids in Essex try new activities

Children at a school in Brentwood, Essex looking to try new activities have been supported by police with one of their endeavours.
Brentwood Weekly News reported that Blackmore Primary School was recently visited by chief inspector Simon Werrett, Brentwood's district commander, who was interested in the neighbourhood work they were carrying out.
Children in year five at the school have been forming their own Neighbourhood Watch group with the help of local officers.
"We have weekly meetings with the children to discuss safety and security measures and I was amazed at how much they took on board," police community support officer, Moira Kennedy, who regularly visits the school, said.
Each week officers go to see the children to help them try new activities such as discussing personal safety, burglary and crime reduction.
Meanwhile, David Mbaziira, head of marketing and communications at Sporting Equals, said that children at private schools have more chance to take part in sporting activities than those who are in state education.
