The Baldy Bane theatre company came to perform a play on Road Safety today. They performed using a technique called “Forum theatre”.

A pencil for a hideout, when I draw I feel relaxed ; Saad K

A hideout in a tree with a secret passcode – Ross (Class 1)

A secret place where I go with my cousins. I can’t tell you the location… – Lulu, P6/7

In the play, Ronnie and Jack are going to share a bike to get to school. Jack offers Ronnie a “backy”.  Jack is a stuntman…but is this a good, rational, responsible idea?

We asked Jack our questions…

Is it really that cool not being safe?

Are you trying to act cool to get girls?

Why did you want to become a stuntman?

Do you not care about your health?

What if you hurt yourself, would that be cool?

Do you think you’re indestructible?

What could we wear to be safe?

*reflective sports jacket

*a brightly coloured jacket

*cut and upcycle it onto your bag

*bright laces/trainers

After much reflection, Jack and Ronnie took our advice on board and thought of responsible alternatives.

Thank you BB, another excellent show!
