Year 3

This term, Year 3 students have begun exploring the important topic Be Alert, Don’t Get Hurt as part of their PDH studies. The unit focuses on developing students’ awareness of road safety and responsible behaviours in everyday settings.

Road Safety Awareness

Students have actively participated in discussions and activities that highlight the role of pedestrians and the importance of safe road-crossing practices. Through interactive learning, they’ve examined how to identify safe places to cross and the responsibilities of being alert near roads.

Kiss and Ride Safety Posters

To reinforce these concepts, students created informative posters illustrating safe behaviours at the Kiss and Ride area. This creative task helped them communicate key safety messages visually and consider the needs of both drivers and passengers.

Learning Road Signs

Understanding common road signs has also been a key focus, enabling students to better interpret their surroundings and behave appropriately near traffic zones.

Next Steps: Bicycle Safety

Looking ahead, students will turn their attention to bike safety. They’ll explore best practices for riding in shared spaces, helmet use, and ways to stay visible and protected while cycling.
