Mini-Policing (Road Safety)

This lesson plan is part of the Mini-Policing scheme which is a series of lessons focusing on developing trust between young people and the police. This lesson focuses on road safety. It is aimed at Year 5 and 6 children who are approaching the age where they will be more independent and need to be even more aware of their own safety. There is a PowerPoint and other resources to accompany this lesson, that will supply you with everything you need.

The Mini-Policing scheme is a fantastic series of lessons designed to educate Year 5 and 6 children about the police and their role. The sessions could be delivered by a police representative or by the class teacher. This session focuses on road safety, sharing important information with the children about how to behave safely near roads. This is important as the children in this age range will be beginning to walk to and from school alone or with friends and need to be particularly aware of the dangers around them.
