Avocet class completed their Walkability challenge on Tuesday. With hoods up and comfortable shoes on, we went out and about on the busy roads to practice crossing safely, making sure we were always aware of our surroundings and any hazards coming our way!

 

Developed in collaboration with Devon County Council and Vision Zero South West, this structured programme is tailored to equip children in Years 3-6 with vital pedestrian safety skills – developing confidence and responsibility on their journeys to and from school, integrating classroom learning with real-world experiences. Children delve into understanding road signs and their meanings, mastering the Green Cross Code, navigating road crossings, identifying safe routes to cross, and always staying vigilant and aware.

 

The instructors, trained and supported by Active Devon, conducted classroom-based theory sessions and practical roadside exercises. With a focus on one class at a time, each session spans two hours, ensuring ample time for immersive learning experiences. Well done Avocets, you listened and practiced really well!
