Year 5 Road Safety Programme

This lesson plan looks at rules, risks and collisions. Road collisions used to be referred to as ‘accidents’ but it’s now recognised that they’re mostly foreseeable and preventable, and should therefore not be referred to as such. This lesson involves discussion, questioning and debate. It works best when teachers, as much as possible, allow the children the freedom to debate and even argue the issues raised. Teachers should act as catalysts to stimulate debate, mediators to calm any ‘heated’ arguments, and guides towards satisfactory conclusions.
