What's included in the Road Safety Whole School Assembly PowerPoint resource and why is it useful?

Road Safety Whole School Assembly PowerPoint is a slideshow that teaches children how to stay safe when they are near roads. The content includes 11 slides with teacher notes, covering what road safety is, why it is important, the Green Cross Code, safe and unsafe places to cross, real-life scenarios and a recap. It links to the keeping safe strand of PSHE.

The Green Cross Code

What road safety is, why it matters and each step of the Green Cross Code, with Think Pair Share prompts such as "What could happen if we don't take care on the roads?"

Safe and Unsafe Places to Cross

Photographs of zebra crossings, green man crossings, footbridges and subways, alongside places to never cross, such as between parked cars or on a bend you can't see round.

What Should You Do?

Scenarios for discussion, with answers in the teacher notes, such as "Imagine that you are playing football and the ball rolls into the road."

How do our whole school assemblies work?

Our whole school assemblies are PowerPoint slideshows that follow a similar structure: an introduction, questions to get children thinking, the key points of the topic and reflection time. They're paced to suit a primary school assembly and work best on a whiteboard, projected out to the hall. You can use them:

• as a whole school assembly, from EYFS up to KS2
• as a class assembly
• as a teaching PowerPoint when you want to cover an event or topic in your own classroom

The majority of our assemblies include teacher notes and guidance to support delivery, and because they're pacey, you can adapt them to however long your assembly lasts.

Adapting the Assembly for Your School

Every assembly is editable, so you can add, remove or change slides to suit the needs of your school. We cover religious events, seasonal topics, values such as kindness, friendship and tolerance, science, history, PSHE, music, significant people and sporting events, so you can choose the assemblies that fit your school year.

Supporting Learning at Home

Families can carry the conversation on at home by asking children about their assembly: what they heard, how it made them feel and what they think about it.
