Primary 5- Road Safety

We talked about road safety and in particular the need to wear bright clothes now that the nights are becoming darker.  We discussed in small groups the need to stay on the pavement, always cross in a safe place and know exactly how to get to your destination. We decided that you shouldn’t run across the road, use a mobile phone while crossing the road, wear dark clothes, go out on your own at night and walk where there are no streetlights.

Here are some examples of our safety posters to get these messages across.

 

 

At this time of year it is very important to be reminded about the importance of being seen clearly when you are coming to school or going home from school. Each class has worked on aspects of Road Safety at the start of this term to get this message across to all our pupils.

Primary 4 Coffee Morning

On Friday 25th September we had a coffee morning and we made over £300!! But before that it took a lot of preparation but we did it all on time though! We had to make Top Hats and Queen Cakes. It was really fun on the day of the coffee morning. We were very busy!

Another Tree Takes A Tumble!

Yet another tree has been lost in the school playground after very high winds over the weekend. Thetree, in the garden area next to the entrance to the playground from North Street fell over in the high winds and blocked the entrance to the school. Council staff came before 9.00am to cut up the tree and clear the access route in case there were any emergencies and so that the meals for Kininmonth and New Pitsligo Schools could be collected.

Neighbours in the house next to the school were glad that the tree fell into the playground and not back towards their house!However, the fallen tree caused lots of excitement first thing in the morning and at break time when the tree was being cleared away.
