On Monday 26th June, our JRSOs visited the Town Hall, along with 33 other pupils from across Shetland, to share all of the brilliant work they have been doing in school to promote road safety awareness
Councillor Robbie McGregor presented them with certificates, recognising their efforts over the past academic year.
Well done to you all! What fantastic representatives of our school!
Our Junior Road Safety Officers have been reading to the Nursery children this week, helping them to learn more about staying safe when out and about. They spent their lunchtimes choosing books and preparing questions to ask the children. The group want to make sure road safety messages are being shared with everyone in the school.
Our JRSOs are already planning their next whole school event which looks like a lot of fun! They will be sharing more information about this soon!
Let me introduce our new Junior Road Safety Officers for this session. Today they met with Elaine Skinley who gave them lots of Road Safety goodies to use throughout the year with the classes in the school.
We had our first meeting last week and the group have already filled a page with ideas of things they want to do this year. Road Safety Week is coming up next term so keep an eye out for some exciting things happening in school!
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!

The school has some new recruits! Have you noticed them? Thanks to Elaine Skinley, John and our JRSOs for organising these little reminders for drivers who pass our school. We really hope it will encourage those in our community to take extra care when passing by.
Here are the winning designs from the recent JRSO competition to design a t-shirt which would be clearly seen by traffic during the day.
P1- Greg
P2 – Lauren
P3 – Jasmin
P4 – Scott
P5 – Georgia
P6 – Fiona
P7 – Kayla
The group were amazed by all of the super designs, but decided that out of all of the entries, they would award Kayla Smith in P6 as the overall winner! Here they are with their designs.
Thank you to everyone who took part in their recent Road Safety activities!
Next week, please look out for the final activities that have been prepared by our Junior Road Safety Officers. The theme is being bright and visible during the daytime. See details along with each photo below. There will be a prize for the brightest, most visible T-shirt design from each class! Entries to your class teacher by 21st June so our JRSOs can judge them before the holidays. 🚗
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
This week is Road Safety Week (16th-22nd). The theme this year is “No Need to Speed.”
The JRSOs have made a PowerPoint with some challenges to promote Road Safety and this has been sent to all classes to view with their teachers. You can watch it here too and use the links listed below to complete some of the challenges.
Look out for sheets coming home later today! There will be an information sheet for parents and a challenge sheet for pupils.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing any photos of what you have been up to.
