🍂🎃 AUTUMN & HALLOWEEN SAFETY – BE BRIGHT, BE SEEN, BE SAFE! 🎃🍂 This morning, our pupils at St Colmcille's PS took part in a special Autumn and Halloween Safety Assembly, focusing on the importance of making sensible choices, looking after one another and staying safe as the darker evenings approach. 👻🍁 Halloween is an exciting time of year, and we want all our children and families to have lots of fun, make wonderful memories and, most importantly, stay safe! During our assembly, we explored some important safety messages: 🔦 Be Bright, Be Seen – Staying visible and safe near roads during darker evenings. 🎆 Fireworks & Sparklers – Understanding the dangers and why fireworks are never toys. 🍬 Trick or Treat Safely – Staying with trusted adults, looking after friends and respecting our neighbours. 👻 Costume Safety – Choosing safe costumes and being mindful of candles and naked flames. 🍂 Autumn Awareness – Taking care on slippery paths, dressing for the weather and looking after our environment. Kindness & Respect – Remembering that Halloween should be enjoyable for everyone in our community. Our message to the children was simple: 🌟 Have fun, make good choices and always look after yourself and others! 🌟 We encourage all parents and carers to take a moment to look through our Halloween Safety Poster with their children and reinforce these important messages at home. From everyone at St Colmcille's, we wish our families a happy, safe and enjoyable Autumn and Halloween! 🎃🍁 BE SAFE BE KIND HAVE FUN! 💙 #StColmcillesPS #HalloweenSafety #AutumnSafety #BeBrightBeSeenBeSafe #KeepingOurChildrenSafe #SafeAndHappyHalloween
