Today we had a visit from Shirley, an Energy Technician from Aberdeen Council.  She came to talk to the children about the council’s Energy Saving Campaign.  She talked about renewable energy and climate change.  She explained that by making small changes in our homes and schools by switching off our electrical appliances and chargers, etc. when not in use we could be saving energy and money!  Later in the year the council will be running a competition in schools to design stickers, posters and idea boards around water and energy saving.  Watch out for more information!

This term, the Primary 6 class have been helping lots of classes to learn how to use Google Classroom.  This week, we hosted a special Google Classroom parent session to show some parents how it works and all the exciting things we can do with Google Classroom in school and at home too.

Thank you for all the parents who joined us, we hoped you have learned something new!

Last week, all the Primary 6’s from all the Hazlehead ASG primaries, met at Hazlehead Academy for a special transition sports event.  We got split into groups and mixed with lots of pupils from other schools.  This meant that we got to make some new friends with others that will be going to the academy at the same time as us!  We had brilliant fun completing all the activities!  Take a look at all the pictures!

Primary 6 had a visit today from our Police Scotland School Liaison Officer – Seb Cook.

He came to give us all a better understanding of what alcohol is and the influence it can have on people.  We were also reminded of what to do in an emergency situation involving alcohol or otherwise.

Primary 6 were improving their First Aid understanding today!  We learned all about different stings, burns, allergic reactions and cuts.  We now know what to do if we need to help someone that is hurt in one of these ways.

We also learned how to correctly put on a bandage and sling!  We have gained lots of new knowledge and skills, as well as having lots of fun too!
