Be Bright, Be Seen in November - 14/11/2022

< Back to the news

I would like to make you aware that November is ‘Be Bright Be Seen’ month. 

In school, we will be talking to the children about the importance of ‘Being Bright and Being Seen’ when they are out and about near roads, particularly at this time of year.  We will be asking the children to remember:

 

BE BRIGHT – wear fluorescent or brightly coloured clothing when walking to and from school – it shows up well in daylight and at dusk.

 

REFLECTIVE – When it is dark outside, wear reflective clothing to be seen in car headlights. Reflective vests, sashes or wristbands work well.

 

IMPROVE – improve your visibility with accessories, clip on reflectors, armbands and stickers added to your coat or bag are a great way to improve your visibility.

 

GREEN CROSS CODE – always choose routes and crossing places that are well lit and remember to use the Green Cross Code.

 

HEADLIGHTS – if you like to cycle, it is the law to have clean and working headlights on your bike at night (white at the front, red at the back) as well as a rear reflector. It is good to fit spoke reflectors too.
