Road Safety at St Patrick's P.S.
16th Nov 2018
We had our Road Safety assembly today.
The themes covered were:
- Safety in crossing the road. Pupils explained that we should THINK about where we should cross the road; STOP at the side of the road; use our eyes and ears to see any approaching vehicles; LOOK and LISTEN to make sure all is clear; then CROSS the road, still looking and listening. REMEMBER: look right, look left and look right again.
- Be Bright, Be Seen. Pupils explained that as the evenings are getting darker it is really necessary to be visible to road traffic. We do this by wearing high-visibility clothing - reflective jackets or straps.
- Use your seat-belt every time you are travelling in a vehicle. Principal reinforced the need for all of us to wear a set-belt on every journey.
