Skyeblue, Lara and Leah spoke to the new P1 parents this morning, telling them about their role as Junior Road Safety Officers for the school. Here is what they said:

 

What do we do? 

Our job is to try to encourage children to be safe by telling them the road safety rules and we try to make it fun. This year we went round the school performing a magic trick. This was to help the children remember to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK before they cross the road. We hope that the all the children will remember this and help their friends to be safe around roads too.

Safe parking. 

This year we have been taking part in a safe parking campaign. Earlier this year we went out and spoke to parents who were parking outside the school gates. This can be dangerous and the aim of our campaign is help parents and carers understand safe places to park.

Today we are going to give you a leaflet explaining that it is dangerous to park outside the gates. We have also made you a reminder to hang in your car.

Staff car park.

Please don’t walk through the staff car park. Lots of cars are coming and going all day and it is not safe.

Look out for the Park Safely bunting we have put up on the fence outside the school.

Well done girls!

Mrs Turnbull
