This week, Year 5 had a visitor from the Herts County Council Active and Safer Travel Team.

The children took part in a workshop focusing on, as a pedestrian, how important it is to focus. The dangers of mobile phone use when walking and crossing the road and the possible impact of distractions on their safety were discussed.

'We spoke about how we should sit down somewhere safe if we need to use our phone when we are out and about. If we use our phones when we are crossing the road we may be in more danger'.

'We learnt that we will walk slower across the road if we are using our phones and we need to walk across quickly and safely'.
