Ruben the Road Safety Bear

Hi everyone!

This morning we were lucky enough to have a visit from Ruben the Road Safety Bear.  Ruben helps all Waikato children learn to stay safe on and around the road. Ruben comes from the Waikato district and lives in Hamilton East.


His key messages:
  • Stop, look, listen and link!
  • Look out for sneaky driveways!
  • Seat yourself right, buckle in tight!
  • Be bright, dress bright!
  • Helmet on right and tight
  • Look about before stepping out
 
Ruben is part of the Environment Waikato Young Road User Safety Programme. He teaches children aged between three and seven years old about road safety. The Programme is supported by NZ Police and Land Transport NZ.

  1. Hi Room 7,

    My name is Ms. Tieppo and my class 2T love to visit other blogs. We have signed up for the blogging challenge.

    We wonder what Ruben the Safety Bear looks like? He really has some great messages we should all follow to keep safe on the road. We had a walk to school day this term and we talked about safety too.

    We would like it if you visited our blog, "Windows into 2T".

    Keep up the great work, Room 7!

    From Ms. Tieppo and 2T

  2. We have now added some pictures of Ruben so that you can see him. We hope you can see the pictures. We picked the eight best ones.

    We have just started learning about blogs and really want to learn from other schools, so we will certainly have a look at your class blog tomorrow when our teacher gets back from a meeting.

    Thank you and we really look forward to keeping in touch with you and 2T.
