What a task some of the pupils in 11G had this week- as part of our ASDAN accreditation- we had to undertake a journey independently (being shadowed by a member of staff.)

10R have enjoyed sorting through our donations and then Sam and Callum lead us safely to the charity shop. 
 

Inside the shop pupils were able to ask a member of stafff they worked at the shop, as she had no uniform on. This was a good practical safer stranger exercise. When we had established…

In 10G we have been learning all about how to keep ourselves safe when we are crossing the road. We started off by practicing on the road area in our new playground space. We talked about finding a safe space to cross and learnt about zebra crossings and pelican crossings. We took it in turns to…

We all managed this…
