This week, our Year 1 Pupils took a local walk along the High Road to learn how to cross roads safely during their PSHE lesson. They identified different types of crossings, including pelican and zebra crossings, and practiced using them correctly.
During the walk, the children also noticed the bumpy pavement near crossings. This sparked a fantastic discussion about how people who are blind use these tactile surfaces and then led into how other features can help the blind, deaf or any person to cross the road safely. The pupils were then able to spot other safe crossing points by looking for tactile paving and lowered kerbs.
Normanhurst are so proud of the Year 1 Pupils for their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm! They can now confidently tell you how to cross the road safely – well done Year 1!
