BEEP BEEP! Road Safety Day
Beep Beep! Day is a great way to teach road safety basics to young children. Road safety is a subject that even the youngest children know something about because road danger affects everyone. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk and cycle safely in their community. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. Even though very young children shouldn’t walk or cycle independently, they are still at risk of being hurt or killed when walking or cycling. It's not a nice fact to hear but every day six children are killed or seriously injured on UK roads – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. Road safety is the perfect topic for activities that can really engage, protect and benefit young children, and Beep Beep! Days are a perfect way to do it. Beep Beep! Days focus on three important road safety topics: Holding hands with a grown up when walking near roads, crossing roads at safe places with a grown up and using a child seat when travelling by car.
SPRING INTO ACTION 🌷🪻
To encourage parents / carers and children to walk, wheel, scoot and cycle on the school run and during the weekend / leisure time, the Travel Planning Team at Hampshire County Council has launched the Spring into Action Toolkit for 2024!
The Spring into Action 2024 event runs:
Monday 26th February to Sunday 3rd March 2024.
Families are invited to try a daily activity during the week from the toolkit.
You can follow the daily suggestions or mix them up to suit your family!
This year’s theme is the senses, with ideas to help us engage with nature and think about how we use our senses to keep us safe.
With a fun human and animal fact each day, there is lots to learn and do throughout the week.
