Today we spent time preparing for our Campaigners Swap Shop Event. We were amazed at the amount of pre-loved items that had been donated as well as the wide variety of books and teddies 🧸
We split into small groups and created signs that we will display at our desk when visitors arrive to the swap shop.
We had a lovely morning today at the Baptist Church adventure trail. We took part in Christmas quizzes, arts and crafts and watched some drama performances 🌟
This afternoon we decorated our class Christmas tree and started to open our advent calendar 🎄
Today we continued to explored Fast Fashion and looked more closely at the rights of workers.
We started by ranking different factors that we consider when buying a T-shirt. We identified colour, brand, price, fit and fabric as being very important. Meanwhile we don’t often think about the wages of the worker that made the product, where the product came from or the conditions of the factory that it was produced in 🤔
We then took part in a role play where we were the factory workers and had to produce 3 caps in an allocated time frame to receive our wages 💰
After our caps had been quality assured by the manager we then had to decide how to spend our wages. We discussed afterwards how these choices are also the choices that workers in the fast fashion industry have to face everyday 🏭
We went on to create our Fair Factory Charters and ensured that the rights of workers would be upheld ⭐️
We had a great morning at the into film festival watching ruby gilmore teenage kraken! 🎥🍿
Our first edition of the Mearns Marvellous Mail arrived this week and we have been busy selling it to other classes throughout the school 🏫
Today we had different groups organising the coins that we have collected as payment and calculating the total!
In 2 days we have raised over £200! A fantastic effort P6.20 📰
Today we had the opportunity to read some persuasive writing pieces from Primary 7.26. The piece was focused on Lockerbie 🍃🌳☀️ and convincing the Primary 6’s to go next year. We enjoyed reading each of the persuasive letters in pairs and giving feedback 👌🏼
We started our morning at the Spooktacular Sports Event 👻
We also got a chance to see the house challenge entries – lots of amazing pumpkins! 🎃
This morning we worked in small groups to complete maths problem solving challenges. We were presented with groups of numbers, fractions, clocks or dominoes and had to identify ‘which one doesn’t belong’ and why. We then annotated the paper with our observations that the other groups could then agree with or add to. We showed great communication and teamwork throughout this task 👌🏼
Today we held a special showcase for the Director of Education for East Renfrewshire Mr Ratter, Miss Hunter and all of the Primary 7 prefects.
A huge well done P6.20! This was an amazing finale to our Mearns Masters block.
