YR & Y5 Road Safety

Our Reception and Year 5 pupils took part in engaging road safety sessions delivered by the Safer Essex Roads Partnership.

Reception Highlights:  

Reception pupils with their parents and carers, enjoyed a practical activity using a large-scale road and pavement mat. This helped them learn:

  • We must hold hands with a grown-up near roads.
  • The importance of staying safe around traffic learning to Stop, Look, Listen, Think!

Year 5 Highlights:  

Year 5 pupils participated in a hands-on session designed to build confidence and promote safe, independent travel. They explored:

  • The Green Cross Code: Stop, Look, Listen, Think!
  • The dangers of distractions like phones, headphones, and friends.
  • How to identify safer places to cross.

With guidance from trained road safety officers, they practiced real-life road crossing skills.

How You Can Help at Home:  

You can support these lessons by:

  • Modelling safe habits when walking near roads
  • Holding hands with younger children
  • Talking about road safety in everyday situations

Together, we can help keep our children safe on the roads. For more information and free resources, visit: www.saferessexroads.org
