We were looking at our teeth as part of our health topic about looking after ourselves. The time has come for the tooth fairy to arrive as so many of our teeth are falling out. Our mouths are changing, but will soon be full again of big, strong teeth.
Here are our happy smiles:
East Renfrewshire Council have encouraged every child to become more healthy by running at least a mile most days at school. At the beginning, a lot of us walked ( that’s allowed) but as time has gone by, more and more of us can easily run 4 laps of our pitch, which makes a mile.
Living in Scotland, we are aware that we can’t run every day because it rains ( a lot) ; it can be very windy; it can be icy and it can be snowy. Every precaution is taken to ensure that the conditions are safe for the children. They would not run on those rare hot days either.
Our campus cop visited us and told us all about “Stranger Danger”. He told us the three steps to take if someone tries to take us away.
1. We run away from them. ( He assured us that it would be ok to hit them to get away)
2. We should yell as loud as we can. He told us to shout, ” Stranger!” or ” Stranger Danger! ” to get the attention of people around us.
3. We should tell an adult what has happened. We can tell Mum/Dad/ Gran/Grandpa/teacher. If it has happened while we are at a club, we should tell the adult in charge straightaway.
4. He told us to remember RUN! YELL! TELL!
He also also told us that MACS operate a password system. No one will be able to pick us up at the end of the day from MACS without using our special password. If Grandpa picks us up, but has forgotten the password, MACS will phone Mum to check that Grandpa has to pick us up that day and give their permission.
We are safe at Mearns.
Thank you to everyone who made a huge effort to get their children to school on time on Tuesday, when the snow appeared out of nowhere! The snow at Mearns is usually deeper than elsewhere and all the staff at the school make an effort to ensure that the children are safe in school. You can follow our Twitter feed for information on such occasions.
Mrs Gordon showed us how to make fruit juice cocktails. She gave us a design sheet and we had to decide which juices we wanted to use and how many millilitres of each juice we wanted to use. We all got to drink our concoctions at the end of our session. Delicious!
