What do the road signs tell us? - Presentation

A presentation on road signs is an educational resource designed to help pupils understand the various signs they encounter on UK roads and in their local area. It begins with a discussion prompted by an online video, encouraging pupils to talk about road signs and recognise those found in their immediate surroundings. The presentation aims to teach pupils how to distinguish between circular and triangular signs, with circular signs indicating mandatory instructions and triangular signs providing warnings. Pupils are prompted to research and identify the meaning of several signs and to differentiate between those directed at motorists and pedestrians.

As part of their learning experience, pupils are encouraged to participate in a field trip with their parents to find and identify at least three road signs. This practical activity not only reinforces their understanding of road signs but also connects their classroom learning with real-world observations. Additionally, pupils are tasked with creating sketches of road signs, which serves to further cement their knowledge and enhance their sketching skills. The presentation is structured to be interactive and engaging, providing pupils with a comprehensive understanding of road signs and their significance in maintaining road safety and order.
