Quarry Talk

On the 8th of May we had people come to our school from our near by quarry and our local police officers. They were telling us about the health and safety rules. We were also told that ten people in London were killed from the lorrys but it is not the drivers fault, when someone walks by or cycles by the driver the driver cannot see them. We were allowed in the lorry to see what the driver can see. There is an little computer showing the vehicles behind the lorry and it was cool. When we were in the lorry we were shown all the sorounding objects in the cab.

Nil by mouth Workshop

On the 15 Febuary, P7 took part in a workshop about challenging sectarianism which was run by the charity Nil by Mouth. We had a full afternoon of discussion and we had activities where we had to decide which behaviours are acceptable, unacceptable or if we weren’t sure. Everyone worked in groups to make the decisions. Yvonne who ran the workshop was really impressed by how much we already knew.

We got a lovely email from Yvonne who ran the workshop –
