Year 1 became police officers for the afternoon during our themed week and were under the instruction of PCSO Michelle.
After an initial safety briefing, it was time to go outside school to learn about road and pedestrian safety in our immediate area. Then, all children had the chance to check whether drivers were following the new 20mph speed limit along Shadwell Lane by using the hand held speed gun.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t all good news with children catching drivers in excess of the 20mph limit. We talked about the reasons for the new speed limit and the children were very concerned that not all cars were travelling as slow as they should have been.
Thank you to PCSO Michelle for working with us. Make sure you say hello if you see her in the community.
