Memorandum

• Art: Learners paint an A3 picture of children crossing the street under supervision of the scholar patrol (A&C 4.4).
• Make a robot of cardboard – Technology (GROUP WORK). Learners assess the end product.
• Have a general discussion on where it is safe to play. Organise an excursion to a place where learners must obey road signs.
• Do a survey of the number of different road signs the learners see on their way to school in the morning.
