Tuakana–Teina (Year 5-8): Here is an opportunity to include senior students. Ask for their help to practice the kerb drill outside in the playground. Older responsible students can hold hands with younger ones. They can role-model or teach younger ones how to do the kerb drill.

Talk about how to cross the road safely, by showing the class the kerb drill.
