we explored Global goal 8: Decent work and Economic Growth. The aim was to understand where and how clothes were made. pupils had to allocate £24 between the cotton grower, cotton buyer, weaver, factory owner and shop owner. This led to a discussion about equality and equity- UNCRC rights 24, 2 and 6.
P6 Survey
Dear Parents/Carers of P6 children,
I would be very grateful if you could fill in the short survey to let me know what secondary school your child may be attending in a few years time. This in only an indication, that will allow us to send any information that we get in to the school on to you.
Thanks,
Rhona McKillop
Today we were learning about the respiratory system. We measured our breathing rate before, during and after exercise. We collated the results in a table and analysed them making links with our hypothesis at the start of the lesson. we explored the names of the parts of the respiratory system and stated the facts we had learnt.
p6/7 and p3/4 enjoyed learning about the similarities and differences between wild and domestic cats. They learnt how to read the body language of a cat and a cat’s needs. The children participated in quizzes to test their knowledge and evaluate their learning.
In chapter 12 of Welcome to Nowhere the character Eman was introduced to Balil, who Omar referred to as ‘Mr Nosey’ as he scared Uncle Ali away at the start of the story in Bosra because of his political views. In this chapter we begin to see arrangements being made for Eman’s arranged marriage to Balil. The children took on the character roles of Baba and Eman to debate whether this was the right path for her. They identified and matched UNCRC rights of 2- non-discrimination; 5- right to guidance by family; 7-right to name and nationality; 12-right to an opinion; 14-right to have own views and 28-access to education.
As part of our commitment to Global Goal 11: target 11.6- to reduce environmental impact of cities including waste management; our Eco Committee’s targets and improving the environment around as as part of the John Muir Trust Award we went out into the local area to litter pick and filled up lots of rubbish bags.
P6/7 had a great opportunity to work with Olivia McGregor from The Royal Bank of Scotland and participate in a Moneysense workshop linked to Natwest. The theme was ‘Save your pennies, save our planet.’ The children identified sources of energy in the home and calculated the cost of running appliances. One of the most surprising one was hair straighteners at 28p per hour and a shower at £1.30 per hour compared with a washing machine at 30p an hour or a computer at 2p per hour.
The children made links to Global Goal 13: Climate Action and identified ways in which they could save energy and money in our homes.
As part of Global Goal 13: Climate Action we went around the school to check the lights and boards were all off between 2 and 3pm to save energy as part of our support for Earth Hour 2023.
Primary 6/7 used their own energy to play circle time and team games during this time.
Well done to everyone who received Value Awards, Head Teacher Awards and Dalguise Awards.
Today we explored Global Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation linked to UNCRC right 6, 24 and 27. After watching the Global Goals cartoon ‘Chakra and Mighty Girl’ the pupils created their own cartoon strip showing the importance of having clean water and sanitation.
