The roads around school are very busy at home times and there are lost of things which can distract drivers. It is vitally important that pupils do not add to this.
Please look at the following poster and discuss it with your child.
Remember, stop, look and listen!

After Easter, Drama club will continue as normal; however, only pupils who have attended Drama Club up until now can attend as parts have been given for performances.
This morning we had a lovely Sentinus session where we looked at various materials to build some houses. We then tested the houses to see if we could blow them down by pretending to be the big bad wolf. Lots of the designs stayed standing and we were very impressed by all of the creations.
We used pegs and lollipop sticks for the stick house, play dough and straws for the straw house and Lego for the brick house.
What do you think of our creations?
The arrangements relate to dressing up and also a whole-school competition (including Nursery).
Let's use WBD to encourage our children with their reading and its importance!
Our new topic that we will be exploring in Primary 1 over the next few weeks is fairy tales. As part of our World Around Us lesson today, we enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ before accepting the challenge of building the three billy goats a new bridge to cross over the river, safely away from the troll. We studied photos of bridges, talking about the different shapes we could see and the different designs and materials used. We then investigated our own materials on offer and we worked in groups to make a plan of what our bridge might look like and what resources we would use. There was a lot of trial and error involved, and we discovered that folding paper made it stronger and soon realised the importance of using sticky tape correctly!!! Once our bridges were built, we tested them to see if they were strong enough to hold a toy goat. Thankfully, all of our bridges were successful!
