We are getting stuck into our road safety awareness week. As a school we shared our thinking about how to stay safe on our scooters and bikes on Monday. On Tuesday, many of the children brought in their scooters and the class were treated to a scooter safety session run by Helen from Sustrans. In this session children explored where good places to take their scooters are and where is not safe. Helen set up a ‘road’ and ‘pavement’ in the playground and children practiced using their control travelling along the pavement. They then progressed to using their agility to safely navigate around potential hazards they may encounter on the pavement. The class were also shown how to safely break and come off of their scooter. Thank you Helen and Sustrans!
Starting from next week, the whole school will be participating in a Leg it to Lapland competition. We are encouraging all children to try for 2 weeks to walk, scooter, cycle… into school. If you can, have a go at leaving the car behind or parking a little further from the school. How many miles can you do?
