P7 were not with us in assembly today as they were at Operation Safety in Dumfries. They had a great day and lots of information to share on their return.
As P7 were learning about all things safety, it was good opportunity to remind P1-P6 about safety in school in terms of SHANARRI wellbeing indicators, UNCRC Children’s Rights and our school code, rules and routines. The children had some very good knowledge about safety in school, keeping themselves safe and looking out for others. As well as physical safety being discussed emotional safety was also brought up by the pupils too with some very thoughtful comments.
