Essendon Traffic School

During Week 7 of the term, Grade Four went on a fun excursion to the Essendon Traffic School to further our understanding of our Term 1 inquiry topic about rules and laws, specifically, the rules and laws that apply when riding our bicycles on the streets.

Students enjoyed a lengthy bus ride to Essendon, before taking turns between the traffic school and enjoying some time next door at Montgomery Park.

While at the traffic school, Grade Fours practised riding their bikes, learning how to ensure their helmet was correctly fitted, and following various laws of the road, such as:

• Staying left on the road

• Stopping at traffic lights, stop signs and pedestrian crossings

• Using a roundabout correctly

Below is a collage of photos that show our students having fun and following the road laws.
