Fire Safety Talk

Today the Firefighters at Bellshill Fire Station joined Primary 6 to talk to them about Fire Safety.  They showed us some video clips about how how quickly fires can spread and keeping safe in an emergency.  We also learned about the importance of testing smoke detectors regularly and also having a fire evacuation plan.  The important message we got today was:

Get out, Stay out and Phone the Fire Brigade out!

We even had a chance to look around the fire engine and the equipment it has on it.  We learned lots and some of the equipment was very heavy too.  Take a look at our pictures:

Money Workshops

Yesterday in the school we had some volunteers from Barclays who were out working with the children in all the classes.  The volunteers were delivering money workshops and the children all enjoyed themselves learning about maths in a real life context.  It was a great way for the children to learn some financial education.  The volunteers passed on their thanks to the school for making them so welcome and they were very impressed with the behaviour and maturity of the children.  Well done boys and girls!
