Road Safety with Constable Wansink


Today, room 9 had a visit from our community constable, Constable Wansink. We were talking about safely crossing roads.

We know that we should only cross while holding an adults hand.

At Torbay School, we have 2 school crossings. We have senior children on patrol in the mornings and afternoons to help us cross safely. We can go when they say "Cross Now."

We went out to the Kea crossing to practice. We stopped by the white line.


We looked left for traffic. Traffic is cars, motorbikes, bicycles, vans, buses, campervans, trucks and all other vehicles with wheels on the road. 

We looked right for traffic.

We listened for traffic.

We knew it was safe when there was no traffic that we could see or hear. We crossed the road by holding hands, and walking and looking for more traffic.


Today we learnt to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before we cross the street.
