The school aim for this term is safety which the children have been learning about through road safety and keeping safe on Bonfire Night. In groups, the children practised crossing the road safely while using ‘Stop, Look, Listen’ and learned the actions for each word – a hand signal for stop and pointing to eyes and ears for look and listen.

We have also learned about the importance of reflective clothing through the ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ campaign. Our janitor Tony, visited the nursery to show us his hi-vis jacket and school crossing patrol sign.

The outdoor environment and role-play was used to reinforce the children’s understanding of road safety and the traffic lights displaying the red/green man proved to be very popular.

The children enjoyed playing interactive games and listening to stories using the wide range of resources available from the Road Safety Scotland website. They have also been introduced to Ziggy who is the Road Safety Scotland mascot.
