In 10G we have been learning all about how to keep ourselves safe when we are crossing the road. We started off by practicing on the road area in our new playground space. We talked about finding a safe space to cross and learnt about zebra crossings and pelican crossings. We took it in turns to locate the zebra crossing and used it to independently cross the road, making sure we looked out for Ben the bus.

The last two weeks we have gone out in small groups and explored our local area and have been practicing crossing actual roads. We talked about safe places to cross the road and what we needed to do to keep ourselves safe. We have been working very hard on our independence skills and have been able to identify when it is a safe time to cross the road. 
 

We use a 6 step procedure that we are working really hard to remember;

1. Find a safe place to cross

2. Stop at the kerb

3. Look and listen for traffic

4. Wait until the traffic has gone

5. Look and listen again 

6. Cross the road keeping looking and listening.
 

We have all shown so much maturity when out and about and each week we have got more confident. 
It has made all of our teachers very proud!
