Year 5 Pedestrian Training

Thu 13 Oct 2022

This term, Year 5 pupils participated in pedestrian training to help them prepare to go outside and navigate roads as independent travellers. They were taught the key pedestrian road safety rules. Children were taught to recognise safe crossing places on the road side and have an understanding of road signs and pedestrian crossings. This was put into practise when children were able to cross the road independently under the supervision of a road safety trainer. The children had a great morning and the sessions were very beneficial.
