Road Safety

During Road Safety Week, pupils across the school engaged in  activities to deepen their understanding of how to stay safe near roads.

In their PSHE lessons Year 5 and Year 6 focused on recognising different road signs that are relevant to pedestrians and cyclists. Children were keen to learn the meanings and surprised to discover how a sign’s shape alters its instruction: triangular signs giving warnings and circular signs giving legal orders. The children discussed the importance of knowing what these signs mean and how following them can help keep everybody safe.

Meanwhile, the rest of the school from Nursery up to Year 4, explored various types of roads and discussed essential safety rules. Pupils went outside to participate in role play scenarios while reinforcing the core safety message of Stop, Look, Listen and Think. We hope you enjoy listening to the Road Safety Anthem below which all the children have been learning to help them remember how to cross the road safely.
