Following last year’s huge success of the pilot road safety initiative for nurseries and pre-schools, The Adventures of Warwick Bear is returning for a second year.
This year will see the introduction of a brand-new story ‘Warwick Bear Tooting Trucks and Busy Bikes’ developed with Diane Maybey, a local children’s author and illustrator.
Through story, song and interactive activities this session teaches key road safety messages in a highly engaging and effective way. The children are introduced to the safe behaviours of holding hands with a trusted adult, stopping before the kerb and looking and listening for traffic.
The Adventures of Warwick Bear will run from 4th May through to 15th May 2020 and is delivered free of charge to Warwickshire nurseries and pre-schools.
Cllr Andy Crump, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder - Fire & Rescue and Community Safety, said:
“Road Safety Education is a skill for life and embedding safe practice should begin as soon as children start to walk. The Adventures of Warwick Bear introduces key road safety skills and improves young children’s knowledge and awareness around traffic”
