Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 This term we are looking at road safety (after an inccident with one of our little girls - not in pre-school time, but mum concerned and we felt we could make this a topic for all the children!) anyway, have also found out about something called Beep Beep day! - if from a charity called Brake who help families effected by raod traffic accidents and they help you run a Beep Beep day event, to raise money for their charity and help raise road safety awareness. if you want more info http://www.brake.org.uk Am now trying to think of lots of ideas for planning this term. We are also looking at colours and shapes so have thought about looking at road sign - what colour/shape are they? what do they mean? etc, Also have thought about making our own sign and maybe a fake town with zebra crossings etc so on beep beep day we can assemble our town on the yard and practive road safety.(we live in a small village with no zebra crossings/traffic lights etc) This is what we want to the children to learn from this topic; (adapted from the Brake info) - Always sit sensibly in your child seat and never fiddle with the straps - Traffic is big and fast and dangerous. It can hurt you very badly - Always hold hands with a grown up around roads - Never go near roads on your own just need some clever ideas for more "fun" activities.... don't want it to be too serious and scary!
