Pupils at Aberbargoed Primary School have created artwork to show the important role their lollipop lady plays in getting them to school safety.

The children designed posters to put up outside their school and in nearby shop windows showing the benefits of having their lollipop lady Julie Withey, safely assist them on their way to and from school each day.

The designs featured slogans such as ‘Julie is very kind and helps us cross the road’ and ‘Our Lollipop Lady stops the traffic to make it safe for us to get to school’.

The task of picking a winning design from the posters fell to lollipop lady Julie.

Alfie Hughes was awarded first prize, while runners-up were Georgia Parr, Jay Vokes and Rhianna Fennell-Edwards.

Julie said: “The kids are excellent, and they’re always really polite. It’s nice that the children recognise the role we play in getting them to school safely.”
