Year 5&6 Road Safety

This afternoon Year 5 and 6 had the opportunity to watch a play and take part in a workshop about road safety. The plot of the play surrounded two cousins, who both put bicycles on their Christmas list. Their parents ensured the children were well equipped with all the safety gear. They were taught to stop, look and listen. However, one day when the cousins were out and the rain was pouring heavily they decide they need to get home quickly. One of the cousins chose to run across a busy A road and taunted his cousin to do the same. Giving into persuasion the cousin ran across the busy road ending in tragedy.

Following this powerful play the children had the opportunity to discuss the importance of standing up for what they believe is right and how it is important to use their voices to make their chooses clear. A strong message resonated through the hall as the children shared different ways the character could have avoided giving into peer pressure and stood up for the chooses they wanted to make. These conversations required the children to reflect upon how making their voices heard can be exceptionally powerful.
