This afternoon, Year 5 were visited by GIST to discuss the importance of road safety and the steps the children can take to make sure they are being safe around vehicles (especially lorries) when out and about. 

The children were lucky enough to explore one of GIST's articulated lorry and learn all about blind spots, remembering 'if you can't see the driver, the driver can't see you'. The children also had to work out how far 25 metres was, a safe distance from a lorry moving at 30 mph - this was quite tricky to guess!

Thank you to GIST for your time and for answering all of the children's questions.
