As we all know Jackie does a fabulous job of keeping our children safe when crossing the road. As part of an assembly Jackie delivered a workshop to our children to discuss the importance of crossing the road safely. There were a number of children that commented that they cross further down and don’t use the crossing facility. Please ensure that you teach children good habits when crossing the road so that when they are older and they start going to school by themselves that they use this facility automatically. Please also talk to your child about wearing brighter coloured coats in the winter when it is dark or having reflectors on their coats so that cars can see them. Please also discuss with them why it is important not to cross near a bend or not crossing behind a parked car. Both reasons are due to cars not being able to see them. Please help to keep our children safe.
