Today the P5, P6 and P7 pupils had the choice to spend lunchtime on the field. They had great fun with all the extra space. They played football without getting in the way of others. They climbed the bank and played among the trees (and nettles!) and they climbed trees – safely. Mr Eagleson worked with the groups to chat about the dangers and how to keep themselves safe and we will continue these conversations as the good weather continues.
You can support us at home by discussing with your children how to keep safe by judging and managing risk. We reinforce that they should be in sight of an adult, never try to flip or “acrobat” jump down a hill. Only climb into trees as high as your shoulder is off the ground. We have established a border with the tree line at the top of the bank.
