Summer term activities!
Spring term activities!
The children planted daffodil bulbs with the Green Gang and then made signs to draw attention to the fact that bulbs would be growing through the grass verges. This has reduced vehicles planting on the grass verges opposite the school and raised awareness in the local community.
Autumn term activities!
In December, our JRSOs (Junior Road Safety Officers) ran their annual Bright Bandz Competition which we launched during Road Safety Week. The competition encouraged everyone to think about being seen and staying safe when walking or cycling, especially during the darker winter months. Pupils designed bright and creative bandz to help promote road safety across the school. The JRSOs were really impressed with the colourful and imaginative entries and enjoyed judging all the designs. Prizes were awarded to the winning entries from each class, and everyone learned some important tips about keeping safe on the roads.

Why do we need to teach children about road safety?
In Western society, if a child is to be killed, or seriously injured, the chances are that it will happen on the roads.
During 2012 61 children aged under 15 were killed on Britain’s roads, one more than in 2010 but 52% down on the 2005-2009 average.
Road Safety Education for children in primary schools is the starting point for life as a road user, whether as a pedestrian, a cyclist, or a driver.
