P1 Information for new parents- Booklet 2024-25

On Tuesday the rising 5’s came to our school and had really great fun. They were there for most of the day and stayed for lunch.

This Tuesday, the  school had a visit from the Mountain Rescue Team. Dave Macpheat and Dave Tyson who are both Mountain Rescue Volunteers  talked about what they do when they are working. They came into our playground with a mountain rescue vehicle and they had three activities for each class to do. The first activity was to learn about how to carry the stretcher, the second activity was to make up word to tell the other group  through the radio to see if they could figure it out. This is the phonetic alphabet!  The third activity was to look though all of the equipment in the Mountain Rescue workers bags!

It was great fun! My favourite part of the day was getting carried on the stretcher!!!

We got a new basketball net!!!  It is orange and white and very high up meaning it is perfect for people who like a challenge. It is very cool and in my personal opinion it will be a great piece of equipment for the school.

Even though it is very exciting it is a bit sad because we’re getting rid of the old basketball net but in reality it doesn’t have a net, wait doesn’t that make it a basketball hoop not net? Still very sad yet really exciting.

Today the gardening group are busy picking up litter and giving the playground a good tidy up!
