Health and Wellbeing day!

On Monday 14^th of November, P7s from lots of different schools including – Georgetown, Calside, Noblehill, Locharbriggs, Brownhall, Amisfeid and Caerlaverock visited Dumfries High School for a Health and Wellbeing day. During the day we were all in different groups with people from all of the different schools. We visited 6 different rooms, in each room we were doing something different.

In the first group, we created an all about me shield, we wrote what our ambitions were, who we live with, what we like and dislike in school and more. In the middle we drew a self-portrait and some words that describe us.

In the second group, we visited PC McKerlie who is the Dumfries High School Police Officer. We were put in to 4 rows of 8 and those were the groups we worked in. We wrote how to be safe in school, in the community, in public events, and more.

In the third group, we went through to the staff room with Mrs Hogg and we did things about MVP. Mrs Hogg started to read us a story about a girl name Kitty. Kitty got stabbed and killed. During Kitty’s stabbing there were 38 bystanders who did nothing, we were talking about what we would have done if we were one of the 38 bystanders.

In the fourth group, we did some orienteering with Mr Park, there were many points in the outdoor grounds of Dumfries High School. After we were put into groups of 4, 2 from one school and 2 from another. Helping us were 2 senior pupils.

In the fifth group we visited the drama studio and we wrote things about different types of abuse, we did how to be respect full and what not to do. We also played a couple of games.

In the last group we went to The David Keswick Centre to do some P.E, we did Basketball and Dodgeball. We did this with some senior pupils who are sports leaders. We did this with Mr Smith and Mr Douglas

Some of the teachers we did this with were: Mrs Hogg, Pc McKerlie, Miss Holmes, Miss Kilmurray, Miss Bryce, Mr Park, Mr Smith and Mr Douglas.

During this wonderful opportunity I used loads and loads of skills but some of the great skills that I used were, determination and respect!!
