🚍✨ Translink Safety Bus Visit for Beep Beep Day 2026! ✨🚍

1st Apr 2026

We had such an exciting morning at St James’s Nursery Unit as the Translink Safety Bus arrived to help us celebrate Beep Beep Day 2026!

The children absolutely loved exploring the bus and learning all about keeping safe when travelling. Kevin from Translink chatted to the boys and girls about:

  • βœ… Getting on and off the bus safely
  • βœ… Why seatbelts are so important
  • βœ… Staying seated and holding on tight
  • βœ… Listening to the driver

The session was really hands‑on, and the children had great fun pretending to be drivers, passengers, and even conductors. The biggest hit of the day was definitely getting to sit in the driver’s seat — and of course, honking the horn! πŸšπŸŽ‰

A big thank you to Translink for making the visit so enjoyable. It was a brilliant way to help the children learn important safety skills in a fun and memorable way.

We’re already looking forward to next time!
