SAFE WALKING

Today Constable Beth and Kirsty taught us about walking safely around the roads.

To cross the road we need to:

• Stop
• Take a step back
• Look and listen
• Walk smartly across the road when it is clear
• Continue to look and listen as we cross

They also talked to us about:

• using a pedestrian crossing
• walking on the house side of the footpath away from traffic
• sneaky driveways
• walking on the grass when there is no footpath

We have a poem that we will bring home on Friday to help us remember how to cross the road safely.

The pedestrian crossing

A sneaky driveway

We can't go yet.  There is a car.

The boys look and listen as they cross the road.

Willi's Grandma has a sneaky driveway.  She told us that she backs out of it every morning around the same time as lots of children are walking to school.  She told us that she always looks very carefully.

There's no footpath so we are walking on the grass.

Thanks Constable Beth and Kirsty for teaching us about walking safely.
