Deepcar St John’s Junior School

Some of my memories.

We had a great presentation night at Sheffield Wednesday this week. There were over around 80 children and 200 adults there, who saw work from 8 different schools.

The children who had completed the programme (PfS Graduates) received their certificates and some were awarded extra prizes. There were many highlights including Greg the Bus Driver, thanking all the children for their behaviour during the journeys.

We are at an early stage in developing this work but Miss Jackson (ICT and Maths Co-ordinator at Deepcar) and myself are thinking through ways in which we can involve children and parents further in the Playing for Success programme.

There are also another 102 PfS centres up and down the country including centres at Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, Silverstone, The Oval and every league football club. Let’s see if they want to get involved in our blogging!

Watch this space!

Tonight is the award ceremony for the children who have attended the weekly playing for success programme at Sheffield Wednesday. The children have had the opportunity to participate in all sorts of ICT based exercises for Maths and English and even make a DVD of ‘Match of the Day’.

Tonight they will have their folder of work presented to them infront of friends and family. We wish them well and hope they enjoy their evening.

One of the important messages from today is “See and Be Seen”.

In this picture there are actually two people sitting next to eachother…..you can only see the one on the left because of the highly reflective strips on the jacket. Something to bare in mind when you’re walking home on those dark winter nights! If drivers can’t see you they can’t avoid you!

I really enjoyed it now, I know a lot more about road safety so i am much safer on the road. Thankyou Mr Jackson.

I was picked to sit in the trucks cab and to look through the wing mirror to see if I could see the people who were down the side of suzi (the truck) and who ever I could see I told to stand out of the way these are the people who would still be alive if i was a real truck driver. All the children that I couldn’t see would be dead!!!!

Suzi came to our school and every one liked her. She and Mr Jackson came to our school car park and talked to us about road safety. There was prizes like balloons and badges.I think Miss Jackson got pink because it is her favourite colour.

A few fridays ago we went to go and have a look round a truck named suzi i enjoyed it very much we learnt a lot about roadsafety thanks to the jackson family for organising the evevnt

Suzi is one of a group of trucks who are used to promote road safety.

There are books about them and if you visit the truckitts website at www.truckitts.com you can find out more about her and the rest of the gang.

Mr Jackson came into school a few Fridays ago to show us Suzi the pink truck and to teach us about road safty!I really enjoyed it. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!

There are lots of important messages to remember from today but one of the simplist can be seen on the adverts at;

Stop Think and Go!

After stopping at a sensible place on the pavement, you need to think about how to cross safely and think about what you are doing befor you do it.

Miss jacksons class ARE doing go after stop and think and this is teaching us to STOP THINK AND GO

Today Suzi visited school!!

She was parked in the school drive when we arrived at school. She looked really cool because she had eyes in the windscreen and eyelids on the bit at the top of the cab. Where the grill is she has lips painted on so the front of her looks like a face.

I think Miss Jackson organised her to come because pink is her favourite colour!!
