JRSOs Learn the Bright Bits
This week I have been all over the county for the five launches of the Junior Road Safety Officers scheme. My bit has been to teach the children taking part the 'be safe be seen' message, particulary 'fluorescent for day, reflective for night'.

The kids seemed to enjoy it, especially the 'high vis fashion show' we had at the end of each session. (Had to say I did feel a bit mean when they asked if they could keep the garments and bags and I had to explain that I needed to keep them for other sessions, but at least it proves how much they liked them).

I think the teachers learnt a lot too judging by their comments afterwards.

The JRSO scheme is organised by our County Council (and others across the UK). It's a great way to get kids to learn about road safety. Two children per school take part, and they pass down the information to other children in their school by holding assemblies, competitions and setting up displays.

Anyway, playtime over for me and back to the office next week.
