Our Brilliant Necklaces

In Technology, we were working for a jewellery company. Our job was to design a new necklace.

First we created design criteria.

We had to create a necklace with twelve beads; two long coloured beads, one circle coloured bead and we had to make sure our beads were placed in a pattern.

We created a plan of our necklaces linked to the design criteria.

Then we used our plans during our build to help us solve the design problem.

We marked 3cm on our straws to make sure the long beads were all the same size.

At the end we evaluated our finished products.

Stranger Danger

This is PC Moffat, our Campus Officer. He came to talk to Primary One about strangers and some of the dangers they may pose.

He told us three steps to take when faced with a stranger:

RUN, YELL & TELL!

Run away.
Yell ‘Stranger Danger’ as loud as you can.
Tell someone you trust; it could be a parent, teacher, police officer or coach.

He also told us about a secret password system. You and your parents create a secret password. If anybody other than your parent comes to collect you, they have to tell you the secret password before you go with them.

Be aware of ‘Stranger Danger’ and stay safe!
