This term, P2a have been finding out how to keep a baby safe, especially as babies develop and reaching new milestones and facing new safety issues. They really enjoyed Angus’s visit with his mum, where Miss Younger shared with the children how she keeps Angus safe. Also the children loved learning how Angus is trying some foods, especially fruit and veg. In addition how Angus is becoming stronger and rolling over from back to front. The children discovered how vulnerable babies are, how dependent they are on their family and how they must never be left alone. 

In addition the children enjoyed sharing their knowledge and experience of home safety tips: always place a baby on their back when they are going to sleep, not leaving hot beverages on the edge of a table, keeping toxic chemicals out of reach, removing potential electrical hazards and Online safety. Also discovering how mums-to-be keep themselves and their babies healthy during pregnancy.

Through learning how to keep a baby safe, the children appreciated that they can play a part in keeping themselves and others safe. Whether it is in the park, playing games online, crossing the road, at school or at home.

P3/4 enjoyed their 3 sessions with My Bnk. They learnt the importance of saving money, budgeting and thought about what they like to save for in their future.

P3/4 enjoyed wearing their pyjamas for World Book Day. They took part in an Authors live event, were they listened to a story and then followed instructions on how to draw the main character. A fun morning for all!

P3/4 had an amazing time at the Money Museum on the Mound. They learnt about the history of money, and compared today’s money with money in the past.

P2A took part in lots of different activities to celebrate WBD including: being illustrators by drawing the main character of Arlo from the book ‘Arlo, the lion who couldn’t sleep,’ creating mini story books about Arlo, colouring in bookmarks with their name to use at home, doing a reading book scavenger hunt and finally our P7 buddies came by to read our bedtime stories to us. We managed not to fall asleep in our pyjamas which was a miracle!
