P5 attend RHET Festival of Farming

P5 had a fantastic day at Dumfries House to celebrate the RHET Festival of Farming. We were treated to a range of workshops from various local providers including Butchery, Beekeeping, Food Processing, Wool Weaving, Soil Analysis, Prevention of Rural Crime, Agricultural Machinery, Dairy Farming, Pig Farming, Looking after Horses, Lifecycles of chickens, Sheep Farming, Arable Farming and Auctioneering!

We loved meeting all the animals, especially the Clydesdale Horses and the mischievous piglets!

Thank you to Dumfries House and RHET for a wonderful day enjoyed by all the Primary 5s!  Have a look at our video to see some of what we got up to!

 

World of Work Week Day 2

Primary 6 have been enjoying learning about careers in law and the justice system.  This was linked to their learning about Article 40 of the UNCRC that says:

A child accused or guilty of breaking the law must be treated with dignity and respect.  They have the right to legal assistance and a fair trial that takes account of their age.  Governments must set a minimum age for children to be tried in a criminal court and manage a justice system that enables children who have been in conflict with the law to reintegrate into society.

They hosted a mock trial, looked at the different parts of the court and the roles involved in a trial!

Primary 2 extended their learning from their virtual Windfarm visit with Vattenfall and RJ McLeod by making pin wheel windmills!

They were so interested in how windmills worked and their creations are absolutely fantastic!


Primary 7 used the Skills Development Scotland website to investigate which careers best suited their personalities.  They answered THIS OR THAT questions which then generated a series of jobs that suited their answers.
