Wellbeing Champion Training

Primary 6 and 7 have been taking part in the East Ayrshire Pupil Wellbeing Champion Training. This week they completed session 2 of 4. During this session they were encouraged to consider different strategies they could use to positively impact upon the younger pupils wellbeing especially if the younger pupils are feeling upset or angry.

After an excellent warm up led by two of our superstars, we enjoyed learning some new basketball skills today.

We practised dribbling and shooting. We displayed great sportsmanship and encouraged and supported each other demonstrating respect on the basketball court.

We love to give a compliment and to show kindness to each other. Promoting positive relationships within our classroom and celebrating each other’s uniqueness

Every week we choose someone in our class to be our Pupil of the Week. We share with each other the things we like and admire about that person and then display this in our class for everyone to see.

As part of Maths Week Scotland, we took our learning outdoors today and played strategy games in pairs. Ask us and we can teach you how to play 15s and 3in a row.
We discussed how much the fresh air and sunshine helped us to think !

P5/6 – Quentin Blake Workshop

Quentin Blake Illustration Workshop

Primary 5 and Primary 6 had lots of fun at the Dick Institute exploring the Quentin Blake exhibition yesterday followed by an illustrating workshop.

They explored the exhibition, spotting the mistakes that Quentin Blake often made in his work. The pupils found that quite often Quentin Blake would stick a fresh bit of paper over a section of an existing illustration to replace small sections such as the head if he was not happy with what he had originally drawn.

The pupils then participated in a workshop where they were encouraged to draw their peers (dressed up) in the same style as Quentin Blake, using short thin lines, thick lines, messy and quick. They had the opportunity to use a range of materials to draw their illustrations such as ink, quills, charcoal, pens and pencils.
