GIST Limited visit

On Tuesday 12th June we had a visit from Gist Ltd. They came to talk to the children as part of their Child Road Safety Programme. Each class watched a road safety presentation and then went outside to see the lorry. The children were asked to estimate the length of the lorry and estimate its stopping distance. We discovered it was 15 metres long and had a stopping distance of 25 metres even at 30mph! We all got to sit in the cab and investigated the driver's visibility range. We played a game of hide and seek and discovered that a whole class could be hidden in front of the cab, completely out of the driver’s visibility! We learnt a lot which will definitely help us to stay safe on the road!
