All About Safety

In Geography, we have looked at the roads right around our school.
We have surveyed the traffic by standing on each corner for 15 minutes.
We have tallied the traffic and then had a debate of why our area is safe or unsafe.

Now here are some ideas to use in your safety poster.
1. Walking About Safely - Tales of the Road website.
2. The Green Cross Code - from Think Education.
3. Green Cross Code video - Your parents will know this one from 1976!

Now, think about your safety poster. Can you include other safety features you know of? (eg. sleeping policemen?)
