Primary 7 attended the annual Safety in the Park day at Arthurlie House.  We learned a lot about how to stay safe as we grow up and how to become more independent in high school.
(Written by Class Blogger).

We were being investigators and figuring out what happened  in the car crash.

We were talking to a man from Scottish Power about how to save energy and the type of things he does every day in his job .

This was a lady who deals with rubbish and animals that get stuck in it, like giant rats.

How much sugar is in our favourite drinks? We were shocked to learn that some are more sugary than we think!

We were trying on drunk googles and TRYING to do activities . It was equivalent to drinking 20 bottles of beer !!!!!

We watched a video about cyber bullying . We learned what to post on social media and what not to post .

Stranger Danger.
I think this was everyone’s  favourite activity.  When we came out of Arthurlie  House  we were told to turn one left and the instructor would  be standing there  but someone else was standing there and was taking us away from Arthurlie House. We were getting suspicious ! Then a Police women shouted us so we ran to her.  She told us we were to turn to the left and the lady was kidnapping us. We found out how easy it was to be fooled!

We all had a great day and learned a lot about how to stay safe. I’m sure we will all think about this experience in the future.

A very warm welcome to Primary 7.2’s class blog where will share lots of learning and achievements from our class. We like to make learning fun and we can’t wait to share our experiences.

We hope you are enjoying the Blog.  There will be more to come next session as the Blog follows the class through their time at Cross Arthurlie.

We had a visit from the SPCA. We were told lots of useful information about how to care for animals in the wild and the dangers of pollution.  We also participated in a fun game and a question and answer session.

A big thank you to all the parent helpers who  volunteered to assist with our bikeability level 2 training.  We really appreciate your help.

Today was our assessment and the instructors were very impressed with our abilities. Well done Primary 6/2.

As part of our Caribbean topic we investigated the Journey of Bananas across the Atlantic to our supermarket shelves. After taking notes we had to work in groups to create a new text and present our findings to the class.

Yesterday we had our second bikeability session on the road.  We practised our uncontrolled left turns, controlled right turns and slow down and stop.  We are starting to feel much more confident on the road!

As part of Chinese art week we were taught the skill of Chinese knotting, an ancient tradition in China that represents good luck and prosperity.  We got to look at fabulous examples and then made one of our own.   First we made a wish and put it in an envelope.  We then used our new skill to create the knotting.   Some of us were so fast we even got to create our own bracelet.  Take a look.

Wow, what an experience! Today we had a taster on acrobatic dance.  Everyone enjoyed it and some of the moves were amazing.  Take a look.

Primary 6/2 performed a road safety assembly focusing on safe use of bikes on the road linked to their bikeability training. Everyone did a great job! Well done.
