In this lesson pupils will come to understand the crucial rules when crossing level crossings and why misuse of crossings is dangerous for themselves and others. The pupils are introduced to facts about British Railways, the dangers that surround the railways and will have the opportunity to listen to the experiences of different employees who work closely with British Railways. The pupils will have the opportunity to take part in tasks while watching a video clip before setting out to show what they have learned by creating a safety poster or a group presentation.
