Musical Play gets rave review

‘Go-Stop The Musical Play’ – which comprises a video and CD-ROM – is now complete and available for purchase and is meeting with very encouraging feedback from children and teachers.

The Go-Stop Musical has been produced as an aid to road safety for children, while the video has been designed to act as a guide for teachers and children who would like to produce their own version of the play.

Included in the pack is a CD-ROM containing a script, backing music for the songs, sheet music of the songs and a Go-Stop game. A Go-Stop book is also included.

The resource has received a ringing endorsement from Delphine Norton from the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership. "I have shown the video to two Y2 classes and their teachers who said it was great - the children stopped me in the corridor to tell me all about it and how they had enjoyed watching it.

"I have also shown it to a Y3 class and sat in the classroom while they watched it," Delphine added. "There was not a word spoken by the children during the playing time and afterwards I asked them what they thought of it. They described it as 'wicked', 'brilliant' and 'interesting’ - 'a good way to learn about road safety'. The teacher also said it was a very good video and that it taught road safety in an easy to understand way for the age group.

"Personally I think it’s wonderful and I am going to put one in each of the resource boxes that I leave with classes while I do their pedestrian training course," Delphine concluded.
