Message from the Stars of Europe
 
Happy New Year to you all!
 
From the sky, above Europe we can see children from many countries all starting the New Year and the new term together.
 
All across Europe, in Denmark, in Spain, in Greece and in Edinburgh, we are watching over children as they come to school. Some children walk across paths, some children push their way through crowded streets and busy pavements, some children cycle through woods, some children come by car with their parents.
We are worried about you children of Europe! We do our best , but we can't be everywhere at once, and it is getting harder and harder to keep you all safe. Children of Sciennes, we need your help!
 
You are the ones who make the journey to school every day. Use your imaginations! Imagine what Edinburgh and other cities could be like in the future. Imagine a city where children can be safer. How can you make your journey to school safer? You have a lot of open space and parks near Sciennes - could you use them? Could there be more parks to walk through? Could it be made safe to cycle?
 
We are sure you will have lots of ideas - make people listen to them! Children in other places in Europe could help you too - tell them what you are doing . Send them pictures, maps, plans - perhaps together you and the children of Europe can make the cities of Europe better places for everyone. The year 2000 is coming soon - can you make Edinburgh a safer place by then?
 
We hope you will take on this challenge,
 
Good luck and goodbye!
