Speed Gun

Today Elaine Skinnley and a police officer called Rachel came up to talk to the JRSO’s. They talked to everyone first and explained what their jobs were before Rachel let us have a go at wearing her uniform. She put Miss Nicholson and Thorfinn in handcuffs!

They then took the new and old JRSOs outside to show them how to use a speed gun and let them have shot. Julie drove back and forth so they could all have a shot…people must have wondered what she was doing!

 

Junior Road Safety Officers

Our new primary 6 pupils have taken on the role of Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSO)

Today our JRSO’s took primary 1-4 for a walk to discuss road safety.  We split them into 3 groups so that 2 JRSOs could go with them and we spoke to them about what was going to happen and what they needed to do before getting their jackets and high viz vests on.

After this they learnt a song:

‘Stop, look, listen and think before you cross the street. Use your ears and use your eyes before you use your feet. Stop, look, listen and think before you cross the road. Use your eyes and use your ears and use your green cross code.’

And then they were presented with a certificate!
