The Reception class children at our local school went home with a free reflector each yesterday.
This was part of the big UK-wide scheme by the Nationwide building society to make them more visible to traffic after dark. It's a great idea (they won a big road safety award for it) and has helped get across the 'be safe be seen' message for night time.

In Scandinavian countries the children attach reflectors to a string. The other end of the string is fastened to the inside of a pocket. When they go out after dark they pull the reflector out and let it swing so it catches the light from car headlights.

These reflectors come in different colours and some of them are fluorescent yellow - this is the best colour as it shows up really well in daylight as well as after dark. If you didn't get one from your school or you lost yours you can buy the same type from us as well!!!
