Retired Teacher Makes Foray into Road Safety
Safety on the Road A New Music Resource for Year 2 (or thereabouts!)

Music and Road Safety may seem like a strange partnership but as teachers in Monmouthshire recently discovered, this new and innovative scheme has certainly captured the imagination, struck a chord so to speak!

What started as a classroom scheme of work written for pupils in Thornwell Primary School, Chepstow, has been scaled up and developed into an invaluable teaching resource.

Bob Young is the teacher who devised the scheme, formerly of Thornwell Primary School, but now “retired”.

The scheme of work he wrote and presented will now be used in schools in Monmouthshire.

Positive feedback from the course particpants justified all the preparation in putting this scheme together,

Good delivery and pace to training. I found all the ideas, information and activities useful. Good to see how activities used with Yr 2 class. Super responses and participation.”
Miriam Buchan, Assistant Head and Yr 5 Teacher, Shirenewton

“The music content actually fitted the road safety aspect. It didn’t feel forced.”
Marc Williams Music Coordinator, Thornwell
