Street Smart is the exciting and highly interactive programme that all of our pupils are enjoying this week. The brilliant education arm of the Road Safety Authority brought it to our school hall this week. The entire scene was set up by Sonny and his team on Monday morning. It stays in place for the week and Celine and Tim, both teachers with the RSA, take each class through their paces and teach them lots of aspects of traffic safety.
The venture has been well received by a variety of classes so far. Traffic safety has been a huge concern for both staff and parents. Encouraging our pupils to Stop! Look! and Listen! when crossing our roads, and understanding the perspective of drivers, cyclists and other road users too as they role play traffic scenarios improves their road safety awareness. At the end of their session each participant receives a personalized safety licence. And, while the lessons are highly engaging and great fun, there is a serious message at the heart of it all:road safety is all our business. Comments are closed.
