Recently, our JRSOs visited the new entrants in our ELC Department.  They were keen to read them the story, ‘Maggie and Ziggy Start School’, using our road safety books.  It was a great visit with lots of questions being asked about keeping safe and what to expect when school begins!  The JRSOs were glad to see their Buddies again too.  Thank you to Scott for the super photos!

Archie Foundation Book Competition Winner

Pupils who were in P4/5/6 last year, took part in a competition run by The Archie Foundation.  They were asked to illustrate a page for a book called, ‘Archie and Amanda’s Amazing Adventures,’ by author Alec Franks.  The story is about a little girl in hospital and it is hoped it will be relatable to young patients at The Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital.

We were delighted to learn that Leah Sandiland’s (P6)  picture has been selected for the book and is currently at the printers!  There were hundreds of entries so huge congratulations to Leah!

All pupil entries will be displayed in Union Square, Aberdeen, over the weekend of 8th and 9th October, with Dunrossness entries being displayed on the 9th.  The author will be doing live readings and copies of the book can be bought at the event.  We hope to be sent a copy for us to see in school.

Well done to all the pupils who took part.  Any one of you could have been a winner!

Euroquiz

Our Dunrossness Euroquiz Team were excited to take part in the Shetland Heat today.  We won’t hear any results until next week but we want to congratulate them for studying in their own time to prepare for the day and for the amazing support and encouragement they gave each other along the way.  They scored extremely highly in the languages round which is fantastic!  Whatever the result, we are proud of you all!  Thanks also, to Lily who prepared but could not take part on the day and to Mrs Colvin who sat with them through the test.

Road Safety Week Winners 2021

The JRSOs found it very hard to judge the ambulances in our recent road safety competition because they were all very good.  The winners all got a reflective sticker.

The winners this year are Leva P1, Elsie P2, Dylan P3, Kirsty P4, Jessica P5, Conor P6 and Roma P7.

We will display all of the Superheroes that were returned to the JRSOs  very soon.   Thank you all for entering our competition!

JRSO Stripes for 6 Success!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Stripes for 6 challenges. We have counted everybody who entered and there was a total of 30 students that did enter, to our knowledge. Ms Henderson is going to donate £75 to the Brake Road Safety Charity which is enough to pay for 10 nursery schools to receive Brake Charity resources. This will help teach life-saving road safety skills to children under the age of 5! Post written by Magnus,Hannah & Anders

Meet the new Junior Road Safety Officers!

This year’s Junior Road Safety Officers are Hannah,  Ava,  Anders and Magnus.

This year I’m hoping to be a good example for the younger ones.  Anders.

This year I am looking forward to learning more about road safety. Magnus.

I’m looking forward to communicating with you all over glow.  Hannah.

I’m looking forward to working together in a group and seeing the ideas we will come up with.  Ava

Here we are with Elaine Skinley, the Road Safety Officer.

Our team got straight to work counting out how many reflectors were needed for each Primary class.  They will be quarantined until next week before being given out.  We hope they help to keep you safe on the darker nights!

Look out for more JRSO posts in the future!
