As part of our Inquiry unit, ‘How do others keep us safe?’ the prep children went on an excursion to the Essendon Traffic School. The Essendon Traffic school is a mini road set up for children, and is complete with road signs, railway bells and traffic lights. During the day the children were able to have the experience of riding a bike and followed many road safety rules.

Here is what a few students had to say:

“At the traffic school I saw signs and there was a lollypop lady.” – Isabella: Prep M

“At the traffic school we had fun and rode bikes and we saw a tram.” – Rovinah: Prep M

“At the traffic school I rode a green bike and a red bike. It was fun.” – Ben: Prep M

“At the traffic school we had to stop at traffic lights and we went on a tram.” – James A: Prep M

“At the excursion we went on the road with bikes.” – Samantha C: Prep D

“At the excursion I had no training wheels.” – Jakob: Prep D

“At the excursion I felt happy.” – Joel: Prep D

‘At the excursion me and my friends listened to Lori to know how to ride the bikes.” – Chelsea: Prep D
