Road safety is not instinctive or automatic. Children need to develop the road safety knowledge and skills to cope with traffic and roads.
In this lesson, students learn about road environment features, create their own streetscapes, and develop their vocabulary and understanding of roads to be built upon in future road safety lessons.
This lesson supports:
- Identify people and actions that help keep themselves safe and healthy (VCHPEP059)
- Identify actions that promote health, safety and wellbeing (VCHPEP062)
