Road Safety Walk

This week is Road Safety week and last Friday was perfect timing to be taken out on a Road Safety walk with Constable Ian and Constable Toni. On Monday we practiced out Recount writing skills and wrote recounts about our awesome experience on Friday afternoon. 

On Friday afternoon Constable Ian and Constable Toni came to teach us about Road Safety we had a practice run in our class and they showed all of Pod 6 how to cross the road safely and we also learned lots of new rules. The first one is you go up to the road and take one step back from the road to make sure you are not too close. Rule number two was next you have to hold hands with the person you are with. Number three was look to the left and look to the right and then look to the left again. Number four was listen for cars. The last rule was go across the road. Then we walked across the road twice to practice. Lucy

On Friday afternoon Pod 6, Maddie and Lesley learned about Road Safety. We went outside school crossing the road. We went to learn how to cross the road and how to look for sneaky driveways. Constable Ian and Toni helped us to learn about Road Safety it was so much fun. Lexi

On Friday afternoon Constable Ian and Constable Toni came into Pod 6 and taught us about Road Safety. We walked around Hurupaki School and learned about Road Safety. But before we left the classroom we pretended to be safe crossing the road inside. Then we went to the Police Cars and we got to go inside them. Then we went to see if we could find any sneaky driveways. Last we went to the crossing and practiced crossing the road. We looked left and right and left again and then we crossed the road. Persia

One Friday afternoon Pod 6, Constable Ian and Toni, Lesley Mrs Taylor and Maddie did a little talk about the road. Then we walked to the Police car. I got to sit in the front and drive. We heard the sirens. We saw sneaky driveways, Constable Ian said we have to listen and look before we cross. I loved the Police car it was fun. Piper

On Friday afternoon Constable Ian told Pod 6 about Road Safety. We walked around our school neighbourhood.Constable Ian and Constable Toni talked to us about Road Safety. They told us how to cross the road safely inside Pod 6 before we went out for our walk.

After that Pod 6 went to the Police Cars. Pod 6 all got a turn to go in a Police car. We learned that drivers can’t always see us so we need to know how to stay safe.

Then we walked around the school spotting sneaky driveways. When we spotted one we had to stop and put our hand up.Then we practiced crossing the crossings without the road patrollers on our crossings. We learned that you need to look left, right and left and listen for cars coming. It was fun, I loved going in the police car and learning new stuff.Callum

On Friday afternoon Constable Ian and Toni came and talked about Road Safety and we went on a walk around the school. When we were walking we stopped where some Police cars were and we took turns going inside and listening for sirens. We walked around and looked for sneaky driveways and practiced walking across the zebra crossing without the Road Patrollers. I liked sitting in the Police car and I learned about looking for sneaky driveways. Tiffany
