Minutes of Travel Action Group M

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.

P6/5 and P7 debate

1 Comment

Today, P7 came to teach us all about debating.

We found out that we have to use persuasive language to get our points across and different phrases when we are debating. We learnt that we have to be polite rather than argue with the opposition.

We had 2  different debates.

We debated that the school day should be longer. This was in the news yesterday so we found it a relevant topic to debate and talk about. The “agree” team found it difficult to think of reasons why but did a fantastic job to try and persuade Miss Cooke to agree with them.

Our second debate was that jobs are paid what they are worth. We had lots of different points and opinions and felt that this debate could have gone on for a while.

Miss Cooke and Miss Wickerson were very proud with how we debated.

We are going to get together next week to continue to work on our debating skills.

Internet safety workshops

Leave a comment

On Monday, Primary 5, 6 and 7 took part in an internet safety workshop.

We had a discussion about why we need to keep safe and what we can do to keep safe online. We found that most of us are safe when we use the internet.

We learnt what cyber bullying is. Cyber bullying is when people call you names, are mean and do things online that they shouldn’t. We talked about whether people online are our friends if we have never met them.

We worked together to produce a play which showed all the things about cyber bullying and being safe online. We performed this to the whole school.

We really enjoyed taking part in the workshops as we learnt a lot from it.
