Road Safety Week 2017

This is Road Safety Week and we were delighted to welcome both of our lollipop ladies along to assembly today. Mrs Ingalls and Mrs Singer answered questions posed by some of our P3a pupils and gave us some really good advice to help us keep safe when crossing the road. Their two top tips were a) not to step out onto the road until they let you know that it is safe to do so and b) keep looking and listening as you cross the road – don’t be looking at your mobile phone!  The main message of this year’s campaign is Speed Down and we watched a short video which demonstrated how long it can take for a driver to slow down or stop if they see something on the road.  We can encourage children to be careful on the roads but ultimately it’s the adults who drive the cars who make the difference by keeping their speed down.  Why not have a look at the video we watched today at assembly?
