Our school recently celebrated Ditch the Dark Day, a special event that reminds everyone how important it is to stay safe and visible during the darker mornings and evenings of winter.
Thank you to all pupils for coming to school dressed in bright and colourful clothing, shining from head to toe, and taking time to accessorise their bikes and scooters.
Huge congratulations to all of the winners, including P7 Mrs Anderson’s class who were chosen as ‘Brightest Class.’
We were delighted to welcome Dave Wiggins from the Walk, Wheel, Cycle Trust, who came in to lead a lively and informative assembly all about keeping safe on our journeys to and from school.
During the assembly, Dave spoke to the children about how wearing bright colours and reflective clothing can make a big difference when walking, cycling, or scooting in low‑light conditions. His message was clear and memorable:
“Be Bright, Be Seen!”—a simple rule that helps keep everyone safe on the roads.
He also worked with both Primary 5 classes conducting an experiment to see what clothing is best to wear in the dark.
A huge thank‑you to Dave Wiggins for inspiring our pupils and helping us all think carefully about road safety. Let’s remember the message all year round:
Be Bright. Be Seen. Stay Safe!
