Next week, we have another themed week in school. Your child will be learning all about staying safe in lots of different situations, such as…
- Monday: water safety, e-safety
- Tuesday: safety whilst taking part in sports such as skateboarding and trampolining
- Wednesday: bike safety checks, first aid, safety at sea
- Thursday: school is closed due to industrial action
- Friday: road safety, drug education, how engineering can make buildings safe
(Not all children will participate in all the sessions – we can’t fit it all in!)
A few things for you to bear in mind:
On Monday, Y5 and Y6 parents are invited in to watch an e-safety performance.
Every day, we want children to be walking, cyycling and scooting to school – your chance to encourage good road safety skills as they do so. Each day, a golden lock will be placed on a random bike or scooter. The winner will get a £20 voucher to be spent at the Edinburgh Bicycle shop in Chapel Allerton.
On Friday at 2.30pm, it’s the PTA Summer Fair. At the Summer Fair, there will be a stand run by the police about road safety.
And your challenge? Make sure you encourage your child to stay safe, but in ways which mean they can still have freedom to be adventurous and independent!
