The theme of the week in 2014 is ‘Tune in to road safety’. We’re all human: we daydream, get side-tracked, run late and make mistakes. But on roads, distractions can be fatal. When using roads, we all need to tune in to road safety and give it our full attention – particularly if we’re at the wheel, but also when we’re cycling, walking, skating, running, you name it – to keep ourselves and others safe. To educate the children in the importance of road safety awareness we are going for a walk to the Wanaka Library for story time with the Librarian.
With the help of Ruben – The road safety bear, we have been learning about how to keep ourselves safe while out walking and riding our bikes.
STOP – back from the curb
LOOK – for vehicles and bikes
LISTEN – for vehicles and bikes
LINK – hands with a safe person ans walk quickly across the road, still looking as you go.
