Travel Wise Road Safety.

We are always learning about how to be safe when crossing the road. Today, Liz from Travel Wise came to talk to us about road safety. We got to play a game like Snakes and Ladders, where we got to move forwards if we landed on a space that said we were being 'road safe', or backwards if we weren't.
We love learning about how to keep safe!
