Road Safety with Constable Willetts

As a follow up from the road safety talk we had in our classrooms a few weeks ago, Constable Ian Willetts came to school to do a presentation for the Koru Whanau on Friday. 

We talked about how you have to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before you cross the street, how to check sneaky driveways and how to cross a pedestrian crossing. 

Some people answered questions and won a prize!

Here is a video to help us learn more and remind us what to do. 

Crossing the road safely

When Constable Ian was with us, it was raining so we couldn't practice crossing the road safely. 

Mrs Burge and Mrs Edmonds decided to give it a try on Monday.

 We walked to the zebra crossing. We had to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before we crossed the street. 

 Sadly it started to rain again and we had to rush back to class but we still got to give it a go. 

Some drivers were very good and waited for us to cross, some drivers just kept on driving despite us waiting to cross! That made us realise how careful we must be!

Road Safety with Constable Ian

Constable Ian came in to do the stepping out programme with Room 9 and 9a

Constable Ian taught us that when we get to a road, we have to STOP, Look and LISTEN for traffic.

We also have to be careful when we come across sneaky driveways.

 We talked about how to cross a zebra crossing. Sadly it was too wet to go out on the road but we used our car mat as a pretend road. We had to practice Stopping, looking and listening before we crossed the road. 

We had to keep looking and listening as we crossed the road to keep ourselves safe.

If we are lucky and it is not raining some of us might get to practice by crossing the real road next week.
