There are many different professions in the world. Every profession in this world is important. Let's remember the people who help us. Through the work of these people, we have a home, food, good health, safety, education. You also play a big role in the world and can help others. The book "People who help" will help you learn about the importance of different professions and teach you how to appreciate the work of others.

Our Carers
If you need help at home to cook dinner or eat,
To dress or to bathe or to keep your home neat,
A carer will help you to get these jobs done
With a kind heart that glistens as bright as the sun.

Our Police Officers
They’re first on the scene with their blue, flashing lights,
They catch naughty robbers and help break up fights,
They make sure you’re safe as you walk down the street -
Maybe you’ll spot them patrolling their beat!

Our doctors
They take up their stethoscope, tap at your chest,
Give you your medicine, tell you to rest.
If you’ve fractured a foot or you’ve broken a bone
They’ll send you for x-rays before you go home.

Our Cleaners
From sunrise to sunset they scrub, brush and clean -
In hospitals, schools, and the smelly latrine.
The cleaners work hard to make germs go away
And they always take care to wish people ‘good day’.

Our Engineers
They build and design things that seldom go wrong,
Tunnels and bridges so sturdy and strong,
Pipelines and wiring that runs through our homes
And x-ray machines that can show us our bones.

Our Farmers
They sow all the seeds and grow tasty, fresh crops,
And send out the harvest to our local shops.
Whatever the weather they work all year long
So we have the food to grow healthy and strong.

Our Paramedics
If you’ve had an accident, do not despair
They’re racing to save you, they’ll be the first there.
They’ll fight off your pain and come up with a plan
To speed you to hospital, fast as they can.

Our Social Workers
They make sure that families don’t struggle alone
If it’s tough to pay bills or there’s trouble at home,
They help kids and parents to reach for the sky
And check if the old folk need the care to get by.

Our teachers
There’s too much to teach us, there’s so much to know!
Like how the earth spins or how daffodils grow.
There’s art to be painted and plays to recite,
Ideas to ponder and stories to write.

Our Firefighters
They race to the fires that splutter and choke,
Rescuing people from hot flames and smoke,
With hosepipes and ladders they put out the blaze -
Their kindness and bravery deserves endless praise.

You
So what can you do, to be helpful and care?
Spread laughter like sunshine, be thoughtful and share,
And if you have friends who are upset and blue,
Give them a smile and say: ‘I LOVE YOU!’
