Pupil Council Foodbank Collection

Braidbar Pupil Council would like to ask for your help in supporting those in need this Christmas.  We are organizing a collection for the local Foodbank and would encourage anyone in a position to do so to support this worthwhile cause.  Donations can be brought into school between Monday 3rd December and Friday 7th December.  Please see a list below of items that would be gratefully received.

• Toiletries including toilet roll, deodorant, shampoo and liquid soap.
• Food items including UHT milk, long life juice, small coffee, small sugar, Jam, pasta sauce, cereal, biscuits.
• Tinned food such as peas, tomatoes, sweetcorn, meat, tuna, custard, fruit, creamed rice.

The Foodbank currently has a large stock of soup, beans and pasta so any of the above items would be a great support in feeding families during the festive period.

Thank you in advance,

Braidbar Pupil Council

P.5 Enterprise Project – Note from P.5

Primary 5 are studying Enterprise in Social Studies and are learning about running a business. We have carried out market research to investigate the best product for sale to maximise profits.

Our research has revealed that sweets are the most popular product. As a result, we will be producing Sweetie Cones. All sweets are gelatine free and suitable for a vegetarian diet.

We have taken out a business loan from Mrs Friel and have to repay this in full. Profits made in this venture will be donated to charity.

Sweetie Cones will be available for sale from Monday 10th December for £1. We hope you will support our project.

We enjoyed visiting Primary 1 to read with our Buddy today as part of the school celebrations for Scottish Book Week.

Saman- It was really good, my Buddy could tell me if they enjoyed the ending and why.

Uzair- It was good fun to encourage P1 to read.

Rydha- It was a nice way to spend time with my Buddy.

While reading remember to make use of this page of your homework diary which explains in detail each of the reading strategies we use during our class reading sessions.  Parents, this reading grid could be used as a tool to allow you to discuss your child’s text in more detail!

Primary 7 used digital technology this morning to provide instant feedback on their technique and performance in our Monday fitness session.  High quality self and peer assessment resulted in improved performance and improved fitness!

Literacy

Your Literacy homework is to write a 100 word summary of the chapters that you have read this week.  Think about the main characters, the setting, the sequence of events and any feelings.  Remember you will need to plan this carefully to ensure that you have included enough detail but it is not too short either!

You have also to fill in the First Ministers Reading Challenge booklet about what you are reading about at the moment (Pg.7) and set yourself a challenge on Pg.4.

Maths

Please complete the online homework activity on Sumdog.

Also this is East Renfrewshire Sumdog competition week.  You need to play for an hour or so during the whole week period to get a competitive score.  We are aiming to have a high ranking in the competition!

Road Safety Week

Road Safety Week is this week.  The theme this year is Bike Smart.  Bike Smart aims to raise awareness about the importance of being safe while cycling, the dangers cyclists face on the roads, and what children want so they can cycle safely in their communities.  The JRSOs will share more information about this and a competition they would like to lead at assembly.

Book Week Scotland

Braidbar are also celebrating book week this week.  P.7 will be visiting P.1 to read and share some stories to them on Friday from the p.1 Book bug Bags.

 

As part of our planning for our WW2 topic the children were asked key questions about what they want to learn about and activities that they might take part in to enhance their learning. Here are some of our results.

Primary 7 are supporting Odd Socks Day as part of anti bullying week! Check out some of our funky designs!

One of the maths groups have been learning about spreadsheets. A spreadsheet will calculate when a formula is entered into a cell.  We discussed the types of jobs that people might have that would use these skills.
