Primary 3/4 have had a very busy week learning about Anti-bullying week. It all started on Monday when in our PAThS lessons we were talking about how we can control our emotions using our Control Signals. We talked about how this can help us if people are being unkind to us and how it can help us make good decisions, including talking to a responsible adult.

Tuesday saw the launch our of joint campus policy, ‘Respect for All’, and our new school value of ‘Together’.  We all listened to how we can work together to help both St David’s and Cochrane Castle pupils to do the best we can.

In the afternoon, both schools had assemblies from NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) to talk about what bullying can look like, it also gave children the opportunity to learn about how to be safe, whether at school, home or in public. All the children have told us (and hopefully you) about how much they enjoyed this event.

On Wednesday, Primary 4 children got the opportunity to visit the Poppy Bus (Bud Bus), where they learned about Veterans of the wars, how the poppy helps them and their families. It also gave the children the chance to create their own Poppy and to learn how they can show respect to Veterans for what they have done.

The week ended with Odd sock day to bring awareness to Anti-Bullying! Lots of people participated, which was great to see! Here are some of our crazy, odd socks below.

We then ended by designing our very own odd socks!

Next week is Book Week Scotland, so lots more exciting things to come!
