Staying safe on the roads is incredibly important, and it's never too early to start to lay the foundations for road safety with key road safety messages for our young children.

In this session, we deliver a 30-minute interactive presentation to individual classes (approx. 20 children) including the following topics:

• 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

The session uses a variety of resources to show the different types of vehicles we may see and/or hear on the roads, then how to cross the road safely and how to stay safe with our adult.

It finishes with the children using our fully working child-sized puffin crossing and traffic light system in a safe and correct way.
