Starting this month, we are running a competition to see who can get the highest score on our Spot the Difference and Match the Road Signs games.
The JRSOs with the highest score at the end of each month will be sent a prize, so make sure you know your roadsigns and show us how observant you are!
Welcome to all you new Junior Road Safety Officers. Being a JRSO is a challenging but rewarding role in your school. I look forward to meeting you at the JRSO presentation evenings in October.
In the meantime, why not read about our new competition and download an entry form? There’s a great prize on offer for the four winners, so make sure you get your entries in on time!
Keep Safe,
Loraine Harris
JRSO Co-ordinator
You should have all received a competition form, with your invitation to the presentation evening, for the design a beer mat / coaster competition to promote our “Don’t drink and drive” campaign.
A great prize is on offer for four winners to enjoy a great day out at Leicester City Football Club with the road safety team.
The JRSOs at Farndon Fields School in Market Harborough held a cycle to school day for Children In Need, which was a great success. If you wanted to cycle to school on the day you paid £1.00 (which was given to Children In Need) and over 80 children cycled in, which is over 50% of the total number of children at the school.
A local cycle shop held a bike check session and the local paper came and took photos too!
Those of you who receive the JRSO Newsletter will know that JRSOs at Hallbrook Primary School, Broughton Astley ran a couple of competitions recently to help promote road safety for Key Stage 1 and 2. For Key Stage 2, JRSOs ran a competition recently to write a story or poem about road safety.
The winning entry was so good I thought you would all like to read it, so below is the full version of the poem for you. You can also download a copy of it here to read out in assembly.
This morning, when I went to school
I saw some people being a fool
Some really dangerous sights
When people didn’t get their road safety right
A little boy didn’t stop and stand
He didn’t look or listen or hold his mum’s hand
He ran very fast across the road
And he was lucky not to be squished like a toad
A man with his children in the car
Hadn’t driven very far
So his children hadn’t done their seatbelts up
Let’s hope he doesn’t suddenly stop
Another man sped past me, as I was walking
On his mobile phone he was talking
He’s taking a really silly risk
WATCH OUT, a child, I hope he missed
A girl waving out of the car window at her mate
She could hit her head on the school gate
The frost on the window screen, stops her dad knowing
Which way the car is going
Some children are walking as a gang
I’m glad to see they haven’t ran
But as they throw and hit a ball
They’re too close to the kerb so they may fall
The road near school has zigzags painted yellow
“Don’t stop there” the lady bellows
They mean that kids can hear and see
And keeps the area safe for me
So, on my journey every day
I see people being dangerous in lot’s of ways
Not looking, not listening, not being safe
Acting like they play a part of a silly road race
We will be giving a prize every month to the JRSO who gets the highest score in our
