Visit from the Police

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from PC Cameron Jamieson who is the link officer with our school.  He came in to tell us about Stranger Danger, Road Safety and also a little bit about his job.

We were very interested and excited to see all the things he told us and showed us.  He had a big bag of things that help him do his job.  We found out about the importance of wearing reflective clothing at night when we are out walking and we also told him other ways to stay safe when walking at night too.

PC Jamieson showed us the baton and sprays that help to keep him safe when out on patrol.

Then he showed us the handcuffs.  PC Jamieson pretended to arrest Mrs Inkster to show how the handcuffs work, thankfully he let her go again!

Then we found out more about the radio and how it was important to help communicate with other police officers, not only here in Shetland, but in other places in Scotland too.

Writing is something we do all the time and PC Jamieson said it was important to keep writing and put as much information in as possible as it helped with being a police officer.  They have to write lots of details down in their books.

Then we got to have a closer look at things and ask PC Jamieson questions.  He showed us safety glasses, the first aid kit, he even let us try on his hat!  Some of us think that maybe this could be the job we want to do when we grow up.

Fundamentals of movement

Primary 1/2 are lucky to have a visit to help with the fundamentals of movement.  This happened on Monday and will happen again next week too.

They had great fun finding different ways to move around.  They had to balance, move in different ways, work as a team and be imaginative.  Here are some pictures to show some of the activities.

They had great fun and are looking forward to some more next week.

Challenge can be hard but rewarding

This term we are going to learn about challenging ourselves, how we can overcome challenge and how it will make us feel when we do.  We started with a challenge yesterday. We had to make a tower using playing cards, it was fine if it was a small tower but a lot more challenging if we were to make it bigger!  We decided that it’s good to work as a team.  We have decided that it’s good to give ourselves some challenges, keep trying them until we can do them and then set some more.
