P5/6, P6 and P7 had a fantastic day working with Scottish Opera to perform ‘Vikings! The Quest of the Dragon’s Treasure’ at St Brides centre on Tuesday. We had a great dress rehearsal for nursery to P5 pupils and then performed to over 120 parents. 

P2b have been learning all about Chinese New Year. To celebrate 2024 being the Year of the Dragon we each decorated a mask using bright colours. What a fantastic job P2!

This term, P2 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 Ammar’s visit with his mum, where Zeinab shared with the children how she keeps Ammar safe. 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 and removing potential electrical hazards. 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.
