Yesterday, P1-3 welcomed some special visitors into school to get VERY hands on exploring their health and well-being topic \u2013\u00a0People Who Help Us!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of this was looking at people who can help us when we find ourselves in danger and need urgent assistance and thus\u2026 Emergency Services Afternoon was made! Big thank you to Mrs Warwick for her excellent work in co-coordinating all these kind volunteers to come to the school.<\/p>\n

Pupils had inputs from;<\/p>\n

Coastguard \u2013 Learning how in a seaside town like Stranraer they have an active role is making sure that people stay safe out on the Loch and further afield!\ud83d\udea3\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83d\udea4<\/p>\n

RNLI \u2013 Just like the Coastguard, they are another essential service to have this close to the water. They experience many call outs all across the area from people struggling in boats. \ud83c\udfca\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u26f5<\/p>\n

Police \u2013 We learned about how our local police help us daily by keeping the place we live safe for us and are always quick to respond in an emergency should we ever need their help!\u00a0\ud83d\udc6e\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\ude93<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always fantastic for the pupils to get hands on during these open afternoons and it really helps bring the topic to life for them! A huge thank you to the kind volunteers who gave up their time for this. I know when P1-3 were buzzing with chat from their afternoon.<\/p>\n
