P7 Tynecastle Transition Information

With the recent hot weather, and the holidays approaching, a nice swim at the beach or a pool would normally be something a lot of the Dalry Primary family would be enjoying, especially as these activities are allowed under current guidelines.

But with no lifeguards on duty, pools closed and no recent swimming lessons there are a lot more risks to where and how children (and grown ups) are going swimming.

Here are some links to learn about water safety while you are at home:

Dalry Primary is very near to the Union Canal, and quite near the Water of Leith, so canal water and river safety is very important. The Canal and River Trust have lots of child friendly activites and resources available by clicking this link

Lastly this Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents quiz is aimed at older children but the danger and warning signs in it are ones worth discussing even with younger children.

Have fun and be safe!

Here are some resources you may want to use to discuss the issues coming out of the current Black Lives Matter protests and their coverage in the media with your children.

In school we often find children have lots of questions and sometimes worries about things appearing in the news and it helps to give them a way to express them.
