As children progress through school, we need to develop their road safety skills and awareness.  We develop their familiarity with the Stop, Look, Listen and Think sequence.

We reinforce the message that pedestrians walk on the pavement and vehicles travel on the road. To know how to walk safely with a grown up and hold hands when walking near the road and what potential hazards they may encounter.

Key messages for KS1 are:

• What goes on the road – different vehicles, different sounds
• Where do we walk
• How can we keep safe – holding hands
• How to cross the road safely using the Green Cross Code
• The role of a school crossing patrol (lollipop person)
• How to use a puffin crossing
• Hazards to look out for – driveways, parked cars
