Primary 5 – Term One

We have been carrying out lots of different activities as part of settling into our new class. One of these activities involved going outdoors and creating a stone representation of our family.

Briony from Sustrans came in to carry out a puncture repair activity. We were given the chance to locate and repair a puncture on a bike tyre.

We enjoyed this and hopefully we will be able to use these skills in the future.

Primary 3/4 collaborated to create our own Class Charter.

After discussion, pupils decided to focus on the following rights for our charter: right to learn, right to be safe, right to be heard, right to play and the right to make friends.

Pupils chose a Lego theme to display our class charter. We added how pupils (Rights Holders) can respect these rights and how adults (Duty Bearers) can respect and protect these rights.

We carried out a STEM challenge which was working in teams to create the tallest and strongest tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows.

Primary 6 have been learning about 9/11 and the events that took place that day. As part of our work, we had to research information and create a timeline of events.

Primary 7 have been learning about The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child. We discussed the rights that we thought were important to us in school and then we created our own class charter based on these rights.

We also discussed which rights we thought were most important to us. On the Open Afternoon we ranked our rights with our parents to see if we could agree on an order of priority.

We designed our own classrooms based on meeting our rights such as the right to play and rest and the right to a good quality education.
