Year 6 Road Safety - "Impulse Control"

News

June 2023

30th June 2023

This week, Year 6 were visited by 'Warwickshire Safe and Active Schools' for a Road Safety presentation about Impulse Control.

 Impulse control can be seen as a person’s ability to offset immediate reward for larger but later reward.

Most Year 6 pupils know basic Road Safety skills, but they often fail to deploy these skills because:

• They react on impulse.

• They go for a short-term gain rather than a long-term safety gain.

 Our learning objectives were to:

• Identify types of impulsive behaviour.

• Recognise the motivations for impulsive behaviour.

• Recognise situations where it may be more difficult to control impulses.

• Have appropriate coping strategies to reduce all types of impulsive behaviour.

 Impulse control is associated with a number of Road Safety behaviours including:

• Distractions including mobile phone use and use of headphones.

• Peer situations including walking and seeing friends.

• Time pressure and the importance of planning.

• Poor decision making such as crossing the road when the red man is showing.

 As many of these issues are particularly relevant to transition, it is a timely and relevant message for our Year 6 children.
