Reception Road Safety

Reception

Think – is this the safest place to cross the road?
Stop - with their feet back from the kerb, which gives them time to Look and Listen.
Look - for any vehicles that might be coming on the road – remember, children of this age are unable to judge speed and distance.
Listen - for vehicles. They may hear something before they can see it – remind them though, that electric cars make very little noise.
Think again – have they followed the rules, and will they keep Looking and Listening the whole time they are crossing the road?

They have also been reminded to play in a safe place away from traffic and to wear or carry something bright so they can be seen at the roadside by other road users.
