Purple Day


On Friday 5th June many children dressed in purple to support Purple Day for Erskine Hospital.

A busy day!

On Wednesday 3rd June a representative from Scottish Power came to school to teach the children about electricity safety. They learnt about the dangers of fishing or flying kites near overheard wires, keeping out of substations and away from pylons, not to touch sockets or switches with wet hands and lots of other ways to keep safe. At the end there was a quiz which Olivia won. Well done! More information can be found at www.powerwise.org.uk






In the afternoon the school nurse came to tell the children how to take care in the sun. They were advised to
- always wear sun cream and reapply it regularly
- wear a sun hat and sun glasses
- drink plenty of water
- cover their shoulders with a tee shirt when the sun is strong
- stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm
- wear sandals or flip flops on the hot sand or grass
- use an umbrella when the sun is very strong
The class are now making a display about staying safe in the sun.
