As part of a ‘People Who Help You’ session, the Early Years pupils learned about different types of vehicles they might encounter on their journeys to and from school. They were also taught the importance of holding an adult’s hand when crossing the road and how to identify potential dangers near traffic.
The children participated in a practical demonstration, learning how to cross the road safely with guidance from a school crossing patrol officer. The visit was described as a huge success, with pupils actively engaging in the activities.
By introducing road safety skills from an early age, School Crossing Patrol Officers help children build confidence and develop safe habits that will stay with them as they get older.
One notable moment during the session involved a pupil named Isabella, who enthusiastically took on the role of a young “lollipop lady”, demonstrating safe road-crossing techniques to her classmates.
