Road Safety Week

Brake 'Road Safety Week 2020' - No Need to Speed | British Horse Society

We have been applying our knowledge of our senses and forces to help keep us safe!

Test your LOOKING skills by playing this road safety game

Test your LISTENING skills by playing this road safety game.

We know that wearing bright clothes helps us to be seen. We used a highlighter pen to colour our fluorescent yellow high visibility jackets. Well done Soraya, Eyad, Khadijah and George for these beautiful road safety pictures.

Can you remember the road safety words? Play this game to find out

After learning about how it is important that cars go slowly to keep us safe, we made posters reminding drivers that there is NO NEED TO SPEED! We included road signs, people wearing high visibility jackets, roads, cars, traffic lights, lollipop people, zebra crossings, emergency vehicles. Wow! Primary 1 did such a brilliant job. Scroll through to see them all ⭐

Forces help things move. We applied our knowledge of forces when we went to the play park. Can you spot if people are pulling or pushing in the photos?

Watch this clip about forces then take the quiz to check if you are a super scientist!

The cars on the street outside school sometimes go too fast. This is because our school is on a slope. We tested this with cars and benches.

We’ve had so much fun this week playing on our road! We have been drivers, emergency vehicles, lollipop people and pedestrians. Pushing a car and crawling at speed is great for gross-motor skills and fantastic exercise!

Anti-Bullying Week

We had a big discussion about the different places we like to go to and the people who we could speak to if we were sad. Remember, we want you to be safe and happy! ❤️️

Time

We have been continuing our Time topic.

Day is when our side of the earth points towards the sun.

Night is when our side of the earth points away from the sun.

Check out this BBC Bitesize video and quiz

Seymour and his friend giving a presentation about the Earth.

The seasons

There are 4 seasons in a year. November is an autumn season.

Every day this week we have been recording the weather. Autumn has lots of mixed weather. We have had fog, cloud, wind, rain and sunshine this week!

Learn about the seasons, weather and world and help Captain Carrot on his voyage to collect gold coins!

Our Senses

Can you play this game to test your knowledge of your senses? > Senses game

Our senses tell our brain what is happening around us. Our senses help to keep us safe. On Friday we completed different challenges to test how good our senses are!

Throwing and catching

We have been practising our throwing and catching but this week with different sized balls! We played a race where one team had a small ball and one team had our giant ball. The giant ball was much easier to throw and catch because it is easier to see with our eyes!

This week…

This week is going to be so exciting because it is Book Week Scotland AND Road Safety Week! We will be going out and about so make sure you have your waterproofs and wellies please 🌧️☔
