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.
