The chosen one!

Thank you Whaea Jackie for coming to speak to the children today. Whaea Jackie enjoyed looking at all the designs put forward by the group. We will be using the feedback of being careful with the kind of symbols that were used in some of the signs. For example the red stop sign used in one of the designs sends a confusing message. Do we really want cars to stop at the two minute drop off zone? We have also noted that Whaea Jackie likes borders!

Our task now is to edit the sign that Whaea Jackie has chosen, and make some improvements! This sign has now been emailed to everyone.

"I like this one, as the message is clear".



Marisha also talked about NZ road signs. What were the four kinds of signs that she spoke about?



"We need to be careful about the kind of symbols we use on our signs".
Marisha went on to explain, that we should not use road safety symbols in our signs that are currently used in other signs as this would just confuse drivers. She also spoke to us about the size of the letters and how we should try to use as little writing as possible. WHY IS THIS?

The slogan - and we have a great slogan "DROP OFF AND GO" needs to be really clear in our sign, as the reason for our sign is to reinforce the Auckland council two minute drop off sign.


 Using all the feedback, the following are examples of how our signs could look.



YOUR GOAL THIS WEEK IS TO READ THIS BLOG POST CAREFULLY AND EDIT THE SIGN THAT HAS BEEN EMAILED TO YOU.


ALSO, PLEASE ANSWER THE TWO QUESTIONS IN THIS BLOG POST. THIS WILL HELP YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEARNING THAT TOOK PLACE TODAY.

    She talked to us about Regulatory (law) signs, warning, guide and tourist signs. If we have too much writing on the sign drivers won’t be able to read it in time and if they stop and read the sign it will hold up traffic.

    Marisha talked to us about Regulatory(law) signs,warning signs and guide and tourist signs.If we have too much writing on our signs we wouldn't be able to read it on time and if you were from a different country,and couldn't speak English you would get confused.And might go the wrong way.

    Marisha talked to us about Regulations,visitor,warning and direction signs.You should just use symbols instead of writing because you might not have any time to read the sign.
