Introduction from the Junior road safety officers   Emma, Taylor, Angeline, Emma

Attending:

Mr George Paul  (Councillor)

Miss Shona Redmond (Parent Council)

Miss Alison Benson (Junior Road Safety co-ordinator)

Apologies:  Mrs Kathy Gibson (Headteacher)

The meeting was held in upper school wing as the children went through their power point for the Civic Centre which they will attend on Tuesday 12th April at 9-30am.

Mr Paul advised the children to wear high viz vests to the Civic Centre .

Mr Paul also invited the children and staff who were going to the Civic Centre to the café for juice and cake which he will kindly pay for.

We have to take two children from Baillie Avenue to represent the school.

The children were advised to say their names before they speak their part of the power point.

The children have to have their own paper work for each of their speeches.

Emma’s speech has now been added to the power point and she will rehearse it before we go.

The meeting went well and Mr Paul and Miss Redmond gave the children lots of feedback regarding their speaking .

Thank you

Miss Benson.
