HOW RACHAEL WALKED TO SCHOOL SAFELY.

Next Page Next Page

One morning when Rachael was getting ready for school, her mum told her that she would be walking to school by herself for the first time.

She would be doing this because her sister was feeling sick. Rachael was quite daunted by this news, as she had to walk past two sneaky driveways and across a busy main road.

After walking on the footpath for quite some time Rachael came to the sneaky driveway. First she listened for cars. Next she peeked around the wall to look for cars.

When she saw that there were no cars coming out of the driveway she moved onto the next driveway.

She did the same check on this driveway but this time there was a car (motaka) ! Rachael waited for the car to back out of the driveway and then she carried on walking.

“Phew that was close just as well I listened (whakarongo) and looked (titiro),” said Rachael.

Rachael walked on until she came to the busy road. Rachael saw that further down the road there was a set of lights. She decided that it would be a much safer option to walk the short distance to the lights than be hit by a car (motaka)!

When she got to the lights she noticed that there was a road patrol out. The road patroller pressed the button on the light and the red man popped up on the light at the other side. Rachael picked up a flag and waited for the man to go green.

As soon as the man on the light turned green the road patroller yelled, “Cross now!” Rachael walked across the crossing then joined up with her friends.

They walked the rest of the way to school together where their first lesson was learning the colours of the rainbow in Te Reo Maori.
