After our Street Smart Primary educator, Christina visited Glen Osmond Primary School recently, Year 4 student Jack sent us his new Road Safety Rap song I said stop! Don't keep walking mate,... not even if you're running late. Look! Is there anything on the street? If there is you'd better plant your feet. Listen! Is there anything coming your way? You know what I am going to say? Think! Use your brain like a boss and pick a safe time to walk across. To cross the road my advice you better take! Or you'll end up like a pancake! Well done Jack, we couldn't have said it better ourselves! Music execs, please form a line.
