‘BE SAFE, BE SEEN’
Fourth Class took part in an exciting Road Safety Authority initiative called ‘Street Smart’ on the 23rd of October. This involved the girls carrying out typical, everyday cycling or pedestrian tasks on a streetscape mat . They dressed up and adopted various roles such as a nurse, doctor, fire officer and ambulance driver. They were given the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a toy car, letting them see the traffic conditions from the perspective of a motorist and illustrating how it can be difficult to see pedestrians. The girls watched a Road Safety DVD.
The childrens knowledge on a range of common road safety issues was tested in the Step Left, Step Right quiz and all the children were presented with a personalised safety Licence. Fourth class would like to remind all road-users to ensure they can be clearly seen when out walking, cycling or driving on the roads. Be Safe Be Seen!
