Wednesday 29th January was definitively a hectic
day for all of our Junior Travel Ambassadors (JTAs). Not only were they all
involved in the Junior Road Watch Scheme with the Police in Straight Road at
9.30am, but that had separate meetings afterwards with Havering’s Road Safety
officer, Elaine Keeler.
First, Elaine met with the Year 6 JTAs (from last year) to
present them with a gift as a thank you for all of their hard work during their
time in Year 5, including their involvement with editing Taking Steps magazine.
As you can see, the pupils were very pleased with their JTA paperweights, and
they definitely deserved them after working so tirelessly in their roles as
JTAs last year.
Next, Elaine met with our current crop of JTAs, spoke about
their role in school and some of the things that may be able to achieve with
the support of the rest of the school and local community. These pupils also
received some gifts from Elaine (including pencil cases, pens, pencil
sharpeners) to help them in their role. They too were very pleased with their
‘welcome gifts’, particularly their gold accredited JTA badges that they all
said they will now wear with great pride. Keep up the good work!
