Road Safety Week

Last week was Road Safety week at School. We had a special visitor (Ronald McDonald) come and see us to tell us all about how we can be safe while walking by the road as well as in our cars. 

Ronald McDonald lost his sock and he took us on an adventure to find it. Along the way he taught us many road safety tips. 

We learnt that when we are walking next to the road we must walk on the house side of the footpath. We also learnt about 'Sneaky Driveways' - these are driveways that can have hidden dangers so when we walk up to a sneaky driveway we must stop, look and listen to make sure it is safe.  Another very important thing we learnt while on our adventure with Ronald McDonald was that when we get to a road we want to cross we need to stop, take a step back. Look up the road. Look down the road. Look through the road. If it is safe to cross we can cross but need to make sure that we are looking and listening the whole time until we get safety to the other side. It is also important that we look for a zebra crossing when we want to cross the road because this is a safer place. 

Ronald McDonald taugh us so many important things and we had so much fun on our adventure with him. 

We are looking forward to putting our  new skills into practise and being safe kiwi kids by the road :)
