Health Week
Day 1: Karate, Super Tattie and Mindfulness Club
Today the Primary 6/7 pupils enjoyed a visit from Sensi Liam who delivered a fun and full of laughter introductory session to Karate. The pupils learned lots of different moves inclucidng kicks and blocks by taking part in a variety of drills.
Following on from this session, all pupils have been invited to attend a 2 week no obligations free trial. Pupils who were interested should have a leaflet in their bags this evening.
The pupils were also surprised by a visit from SuperTattie the East Ayrshire School Lunches mascot who spent the play time in our playground.
Some pupils from our class who are in the Health and Wellbeing Pupils School Improvement Committee lead a mindfulness lunchtime club for pupils from across the school. They participated in mindful colouring and the classroom felt very calm and relaxed.
Today we reviewed what environmental dignity, equity and equality are and what they look like as part of our environmental eco plan.
Children explored the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and considered how the ability to access health systems is linked to a child’s right to the best possible health, Article 24, freedom of expression and to freedom from discrimination.
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.
Global Goal 13: Climate Action
Earth Hour
Primary 6/7 explored Global Goal 13, specifically target 13.3 and made links to Earth Hour. The class created posters to encourage the rest of the school to turn off all lights, sockets and Promethean boards this Friday between 2pm and 3pm. This year the theme for Earth Hour is the ‘Biggest Hour for Earth’ so the pupils discussed the importance of everybody contributing towards Global Goal 13 through small actions to make a huge difference in creating a sustainable, long lasting Earth. They then created posters to inform others in the school about Earth Hour and encourage them to take part.
We would love if you could take the time to watch the clip attached below to learn a little about Earth Hour and we hope that it encourages you to take action.

Today the Lord Provost Jim Todd came to share with us his experiences, stories, skills and role as the Lord Provost. He told us about his education, travels, jobs and how he helps people in the community.
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’
