Road safety

Module 4

Safety

Cycling down the street to meet my friend john

On my bike and down the street

Swinging round the bend

Whizzing past the Library

Going to meet my friend.

Silver flash of spinning spokes

Whirr of oily chain

Bump of tyre on railway line

Just before the train.

The road bends sharp at Pinfold Lane

Like a broken arm

Brush the branches of the trees

Skirting Batty’s Farm.

Tread and gasp and strain and bend

Climbing Gallow’s Slope

Flying down the other side

Like an antelope.

Swanking into Johnnie’s street

Cycling hands on hips

Past O’Connor’s corner shop

That always smells of chips.

Bump the door of his backyard

Where we always play

Lean my bike and knock the door

“Can John come out to play?”

(Gareth Owen)

Write down two things that john’s friend does wrong.

It is important that you do not make the same mistakes as the people in the picture below. Try to find ten dangers that could be life threatening to these people.

  • Mark each of the dangers with a cross.
  • Colour the picture neatly.

As a pedestrian you must remember the following important rules.

  1. Always walk on the sidewalk.
  2. Do not walk on the edge (kerb) of the sidewalk – your foot may slip!
  3. Watch out for driveways at houses.
  4. Always walk on the right hand side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic.
  5. Always wear a reflecting strip on your arm when you walk in the dark.
    • Draw a picture of you and your friend crossing at a pedestrian crossing.

Memorandum

  • You will find that this module is more practical in nature. It therefore contains only a few work sheets for learners. The module’s success will depend largely on the educator’s enthusiasm.
  • Invite the local Traffic Department to visit the school and speak to the Foundation Phase learners.
  • Find a suitable poem to read to the learners (one of the assignments).
  • Allow learners to tell the class in what type of vehicle they come to school. (Make a graph).
  • Scholar patrol: If your school has a scholar patrol, ask the members to visit your class and to tell your learners more about their duties. If there is no scholar patrol at the school, try to establish whether there is a need for one. Involve the learners in your research. Remember that your Traffic department will only be too eager to assist you.
  • If a reasonable number of your learners have bicycles, arrange that they bring their bicycles to school on a specific day. The bicycles must be decorated and prizes awarded. This is an excellent opportunity to pay attention to the state of the bicycles, e.g. brakes, tyres, etc.
  • Drama: Learners mimic a traffic officer, cyclist, pedestrian and a driver of a car. (A&C 3.2).
  • Also keep the following in mind:
  • create riddles that deal with traffic, e.g. the wheel;
  • paste pictures that deal with road safety on cardboard and let the learners mimic the action with regard to road safety.
