Dentist visit!

October 13, 2017 Mrs Gibson Leave a comment

We were so lucky to have a visit from a real dentist today- Louise’s mummy! We had a fantastic time learning how to take care of our teeth. Margarita even let us have a go at looking into Dinosaur Colin’s mouth with a special mirror.

We learned that it is important to brush your top teeth downwards,your bottom teeth upwards and your back teeth in little circles. We also sorted the food into ‘happy teeth’ and ‘sad teeth’ baskets. We learned that sweets, lollipops, fruitshoots and cakes are very tasty but they should be eaten as a little treat and not everyday.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Louise’s mummy for coming into our classroom and for giving us all a fantastic goody bag!

Primary 1

A special visitor in P1

October 3, 2017 Mrs Evans Leave a comment

Today, one of our Primary 1 Mums came into school to tell us all about her very important job. The primary 1 children listened so carefully to what Lindsey was saying and then got to try out all the equipment that Lindsey brought with her. It was very exciting. Here are some of the things that we learned:

There are different types of nurses.
Neonatal nurses look after little babies.
Little babies have different cots to sleep in.
Nurses use a stethoscope to listen to the babies heartbeat.
You have to be kind and caring to be a nurse.
Sometimes nurses wear a special hat and mask.

Here we are having a go at being neonatal nurses.

Today P1 were very lucky to have a special visitor. We were visited by 2 policemen (PC Robertson and PC Hart)!!

We were very excited (and on our best behaviour).

Who helps us?

Alfie – policeman

Matthew – fireman

Ava – lollypop man (he has an orange jacket and a hat and a stick)

Haziq – shopkeepers

Louvisa – they wear a uniform

James – and a badge

Joshua – high service (customer service)

Piper – teachers

We learned a lot about Stranger Danger – we know that we don’t speak to people we don’t know!

We had some questions we were bursting to ask. Lots of these were about the uniform they were wearing. We wanted to know why it was bright yellow, what the pen was for, and what the handcuffs looked like . The policeman even arrested the teddybear!

We also asked:

Olivia – How do you catch bad guys? (we are really fast, and some people tell us where the bad guys are?)

Joshua – where do you do? (we take the bad guys to the police station)

Arran – is the car bumpy or not bumpy? (it can get bumpy when we drive fast)

Roman – do you only catch bad guys? (we only catch bad guys, but we speak to good and bad people)

James – do you drive really fast? (only in an emergency)

Tyler – why do you have a police hat? (so everyone knows we are policemen)

Kayleigh – why do you have handcuffs? (in case the bad guys run away)

Lucas – do you have a police ambulance? (no, but we do have a police van)

Leo – why do you have a radio? (so that in an emergency we can speak to each other when we’re far away)

Joshua – why do you have a flashlight? (so we can see in the dark, because we work at nighttime too, to keep you safe).

We then all had a chance to wear the policemans hat! (including the bear).

We then got a chance to see the police van! We were so excited!

We had such a fun day!

More people who help us!

Our primary one children had a fantastic day today visiting our local fire station!

The children listened well as the fireman told them what his job was. They learned all about the uniforms (did you know that most fire fighters wear yellow helmets, but the one who’s in charge wears a white helmet?!) and all about the fire engines (in Scotland they are red with blue lights – the same as the ambulance!!)

We learned that at Broxburn, all the firefighters have pagers, which beep when it’s time to go to work, but other stations have fire fighters who eat and even sleep there!

They then saw what fire fighters have to wear (Mrs Evans and Mrs Baty modeled the uniform – it was very heavy and warm!!)

We also learned what to do if we ever see someone on fire (tell them to Stop, Drop and Roll – you can see us practicing this in our photos).

After that, the children went outside to explore the fire engine. They even got a shot of a water hose out of the fire engine!

All primary 1 children were fantastic on our first trip! Thank you again to our fabulous parent helpers!

Amazing Ambulance in Primary 1!!

September 7, 2016 Mrs Baty Leave a comment

Today, primary 1 were lucky enough to have some very special visitors! As part of our People Who Help Us topic, we invited some paramedics to come to see the children. They told us all about their job, what they do and what equipment they use.

Some of us were allowed to dress up in their real High Vis Jacket, and their paramedics helmet. Then, we pretended Mrs Evans had been trampled by an elephant!! The paramedics put a bandage on her head (like a big plaster) and used a special machine to make sure she was feeling okay (it beeped, and had a blue wavy line on it).

Then, we went to see the ambulance!!! It was amazing! We even got to go inside! Then they put the siren on for us to hear! (See our picture with our hands over our ears … it was so loud!).

We had a really great day!!

Joshua – Paramedics have ambulances

Alfie – they wear an ambulance suit

Ava – they have a torch

Kayleidh – (how could they make sure they are seen?) you wear a jacket

Isla – (Mrs Evans should..) get away from the elephant!

Lucas – (Mrs Evans is hurt, what do we do?) phone the doctor!

James – is the number 909?

Ben – the ambulance is blue

Lucas – …and green and yellow

Matthew – the ambulance has lights

Olivia – the lights are blue, and they flash

Matthew – it has a siren, and they rescue people

Toby – they help people who get hit by a car

Ben – they are sometimes with the fire brigade

Arran – they take you to the hospital

Dermott – St Johns hospital.
