Junior Road Safety Officers
From our survey of how children travel to school we discovered that a lot of children come to school by car. We went out into the playground to talk about the pollution produced by cars on the road.
The children came up with some ideas to help with this.
• Car share
• Use scooters or bikes to travel to school
• Walk whenever possible.
We made some posters to encourage parents and put them up near the entrance to the playground.
Goldcrest Class used the village zebra crossing, crossed a main road and a side road whilst off to Forest Schools. We talked to them about listening for traffic, looking out for traffic, staying close together and keeping on the path.
Our Competition Winners
The JRSO’s felt that we needed to ensure that pupils understood the importance of being safe when travelling on the mini bus.
We joined the keep fit stay healthy club today to talk to them about how to stay safe when out exercising anywhere near the roads.
We met with Ollie to discuss the use of the tractor on the farm and travelling on the road thinking about the safety aspects.
We worked with the children in Reception/Year 1 to design and make reflectors to keep them safe.

Winners of the "Be Bright, Keep Safe" JRSO Competition
During a whole school assembly, our Junior Road Safety Officers thanked all the pupils for their entries. “The entries were of a high standard and it was very hard to choose just one winner from each class” said William. The winners were then presented with their prizes and their posters were displayed on the Junior Road Safety Officers notice board.
