GRADES 5/6 PRESENTATION (2 X 60 MINUTES)

Students participate in dynamic workshops that include data collection such as pedestrian and motorist behaviours, traffic signals, dangerous driving behaviours and will also utilize a speed detector to calculate speed.

Please indicate how many classes you would like to book for a presentation.

When visiting a school, we present to each class individually to ensure every student can actively participate in our interactive program. The capacity per presenation is 32 students.

We ask that the presenter be scheduled in one fixed location, as the equipment and props are too heavy to move between rooms.

For split-grade classes (e.g., Grade 4/5), please book for for the lower grade level (in this case, Grade 3/4).

For all presentations, students will remain inside the school building, with the exception of Grade 5/6 – Session 2. During this session, students will go outside on school property to use the speed radar detector as part of their lesson. No permission forms are required.

As required by the City of Ottawa, each school must request a minimum of five presentations. These sessions should be scheduled consecutively within your school’s learning blocks, allowing a minimum of 10 minutes between presentations for class transitions. Please also ensure appropriate consideration for nutrition and recess breaks.

If you are requesting presentations for more than five classes, we may be able to schedule them over multiple days, depending on availability.

Refer to the chart below to see how many 30-minute presentations are typically accommodated per day by each school board. Please note, each Grade 5/6 class require two 60-minute sessions, which is equivalent to four 30-minute presentations.
