British Science Week
Our World of Work Fayre was a great success and the pupils had the opportunity to speak to UWS, Dean Castle Countryside Ranger, ACE therapeutic services, Skills Development Scotland, James Kidd Ltd, Action for Children, Scottish Power Renewables, MSP for Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley, Children 1st, Morris Equestrian, University of Strathclyde Research group, Boots- fraud investigator, Sound, Light & Digital technician and a Respiratory Physiologist.
All our professionals commended the pupils on the questions they had prepared and their attentiveness and interest. They were all a credit to Fenwick Primary.
There was a great atmosphere and everyone, adults and pupils, learnt about jobs, careers and skills.
A huge thank you to all our volunteers for giving up their time and making the event a great success!

Today Chris Skaaning from Make it Happen came in to teach us to create a game on Scratch using coding. The pupils successfully made a dragonfly game.
We are all ready to launch British Science and STEM week starting tomorrow with the launch of our World of Work Fayre for p5/6 and p6/7. Our professional speakers will come in tomorrow for the World of Work Fayre and we have lots more professionals visiting classes each day next week to share their experiences, skills, jobs, roles and careers.

The pupils watched a video about GG 9: Innovation and Infrastructure then created a fact and a HOTS question.
In groups they then thought of an environmental invention that would improve Healthcare, Agriculture, Automotive and Construction industries.
Pupils then went on to identify a successful woman in that industry . ‘International women’s day 2023’
Today we had a visit from the Dog’s Trust to learn about a dog’s behaviour; how we should treat dogs and how we can keep ourself safe.
Today primary6/7 were learning about Global Goal 14, Life under water. They created HOTS questions about Life under water than carouselled around activities that allowed them to express their thoughts, opinions and knowledge; Article 13: Right to express thoughts.
Pupils identified ways to conserve our oceans by our actions and identified their next steps to make and contribute to this change.
Article 13 freedom of expression, article 17 access to information, article 24, right to a clean environment.
Great fun celebrating World Book Day and the reading of books.
article 28 The right to Education
Today we were learning about Global Goal 4: Quality Education
Pupils had to debate ‘Only men deserve education; Everyone deserves an equal education, Only people in developed countries deserve a quality education; Quality education is only for those with money to pay for it.’
p6/7 had a lively debate where they spoke freely and justified their views. Article 13 (freedom of expression)and 14 (freedom of thought).
We explored Global Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
We made links with Article 2: non discrimination
