We all observed a 2 minute silence in school at 11 o’clock on 11th November. Our House captains, accompanied by 2 members of staff, laid a poppy wreath at the War Memorial in Creetown and observed the 2 minute silence there.
Our House Captains also attended the Remembrance Day service on Sunday 14th and laid the poppy wreath alongside the rest of the community.
We had some used pumpkins in school after Hallowe’en We decided to break them up and put them into our wildlife garden as some animals would use them as food. We got this idea from a news programme.
The children were very excited to have some bikes and scooters out. They were able to create their own roads / safe places to walk and consider the safety of the people using the vehicles and the people who were playing in other areas.
They set up a car wash and a garage to keep the vehicles clean, working and fueled up! Some children made their own traffic lights so that the drivers knew when to “stop” “get ready” “go”!
There was lot’s of talk about taking turns and sharing the resources.
The children identified that to be safe when out and about in villages or towns they:
“Look out for cars” “Hold hands with an adult”
“Look left and right” “Walk…stay on the pavement”
“To be safe when crossing the road, so we don’t get run over”
With an adult the children spoke about keeping safe when in a car or on a bike. They spoke about not distracting the driver, sitting in a car seat or on a booster seat and wearing a seatbelt.
“Look out the windows” “I have a car seat” “Seatbelt!”
“wear a helmet”
We learned a new song – ask the children to sing it for you at home!
Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Light (to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star)
Twinkle twinkle traffic light,
Round the corner shining bright,
Red means stop,
Green means go,
Yellow means very slow,
Twinkle Twinkle traffic light,
Round the corner shining bright!
