A NEW drama promoting a strong road safety message has been touring Anglesey's primary schools

Aimed at children aged seven to nine, Cofia (Remember) has been seen by hundreds of pupils as the production visited more than 20 schools.

The interactive drama focuses children's minds on the importance of road safety, and the various steps to
"remember" when crossing the road.

Anglesey Council's Road Safety Team has used drama as a means of getting its message across to youngsters in the past, and found it to be very successful.

Cofia is produced by Theatr Ieuenctid Môn's manager, Siwan Teifi. The drama has been written by the author and director,

Siwan Llynor, and the cast comprises of Manon Dewi, Mared Huws and Gwion Williams.

It tells the story of Beca and Rhys who make their own way home from school after their mum fails to turn up on time. On the journey they get lost, but meet a strange young girl who guides them across the road and home safely. They later learn that it was the spirit of Ema, a young girl hit by a car years earlier.

The road safety team's Bethan Parry said that the pupils' response to the drama had been excellent.

"Cofia is bringing our road safety message home to the pupils in a new and exciting way. The performance is interactive with pupils encouraged to ask questions and join in the performance as the story progresses. Pupils from every primary school on the Island will have an opportunity to see the show which comes to the end of its two week run on Thursday.

"The message is particulary important at this time of year, with the Easter holidays fast approaching, and the long summer nights also meaning that children will be able to stay out playing until later in the evenings.

"They must always remain vigilant whilst around roads and remember these simple words which are highlighted in the drama - Stop. Look. Listen. Walk."

The Cofia tour began at Ysgol y Graig, Llangefni, on March 6 and comes to an end at Ysgol Llanerchymedd today.
