The boys and girls have loved all our little pumpkins in Sgoil-Àraich, so today we opened one up to explore. Outside we scooped out the insides and used some fruit tea, and natural loose parts to make our own Brot Peapag (pumpkin soup) inside the pumpkin. After lunch they wanted to take it inside to play with again. They all wanted to collect the seeds to grow their own pumpkins. “Can we grow pumpkins?” “Is it halloween yet?” ” Can we make real pumpkin soup?” “Lets keep all the seeds!” “Its all gooey inside!” “Its a bit stinky”
In our school we recognised the need for a behaviour plan which will be part of our updated Relationships Policy. Yesterday the whole school met together in the hall. We split up into groups and read through a list of behaviours that have been experienced in our school. The children talked in their groups and ranked these behaviours as LOW, MODERATE and SIGNIFICANT. We then looked at a list of approaches to behaviours and decided which ones would be appropriate for the LOW, MODERATE and SIGNIFICANT behaviours. There was lots of excellent discussion and engagement from all the pupils. We will now put a survey out to parents to gather your opinions to ensure our Relationships Policy includes everyone’s views. 🌍Article 2 – No discrimination 🌍Article 12 – Respect for children’s views. 🌍Article 19 – Protection from violence 🌍Article 31 – Rest, play, culture and arts
