Pupils Posters Put Across Home Safety Message
The primary school competition attracted a large number of entries and was aimed at raising awareness of safety in the home.
Last week the winning schools, represented by parents and the individual winners, visited the Municipal Buildings in Crewe to receive their prizes.
Sponsored by the supermarket chain Asda and the Primary Care Trust Healthy Schools campaign, the children each received an MP3 player.
Emily Bell, the first prize winner from Mablins Lane Primary School, also collected a cheque for ￡100 towards school funds.
The presentations were made by Mayor and Mayoress Maurice and Ann Jones.
Second and third prizes went to Blake Williams from Edleston Road Primary School and to Laura McIntosh from Stapeley Broad Lane Primary School.
Cllr Jones said: "It is never too early for young people to learn the basic rules that are so important in making and keeping us all safe in our homes.
"These are important messages of awareness that the movie posters are designed to get across to children, their parents and other family members alike."
The council's home safety co-ordinator Karen Murdoch-Hollies added: "We have been aiming to raise levels of awareness so that accidents can be prevented."
