The Asteroids have been learning about road safety with the help of Super Cat. We had great fun listening to the story, joining in with words and actions of the safety rap, road safety games, sorting out safe and unsafe situations and making our own Stop, Look, Listen and Think signs.
Well done, Asteroids!
