It was a lovely winter afternoon so we decided to take our maths outside. We have been learning about area and perimeter. We took our trundle wheels outside and measured the perimeter of the AstroTurf and the playground marking. It was great fun and we were able to answer all of our questions back in the comfort of our class.

This afternoon Coatbridge fire service came to visit our school, they were delivering a talk to us on fire safety and using sparklers and fireworks. During our talk the firemen were called out on a shout and had to leave us for an emergency and left with their sirens blaring! We were able to continue with our talk and presentation when two fabulous teachers from St Aloysius took over.

We discussed the dangers of fireworks and sparklers and saw some pictures of what happens when they go wrong and we have all agreed to be safe tonight and remember our firework rules.
