We are the new Junior Road Safety Officers for Reid Street School. Our names are Lewis and Erica and we are in Year 5. We had to complete an application form for this role and then the classes voted amongst themselves for who they wanted to be the officers. The teachers counted the votes and we both won! We had some tough competition from our class mates.
Our first job was to lead an assembly to the whole school. Mrs Davison, Denise Caley (Darlington’s Road safety officer) Liam and Kaitlyn (last year’s JRSOs) also helped us with the assembly. During the assembly, we talked about crossing the road safely and looking for safe places to cross. We have set a competition for each Key stage. We’re very excited because once again Reid Street Primary School is taking part in the annual Darlington Community Carnival and this year’s procession is ‘Heritage Themes’. The carnival will take place on Saturday 29th June. Each school involved has been given their very own special part within the procession on a heritage theme linked to our local area and our school’s theme is Darlington Indoor Market.
Our local artist, Yvonne Preston from Scrap Art Studios, has been coming into school to work with some of our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils that are taking part in the carnival. The pupils have had great fun creating eye catching showpieces and individual artworks. |
