Primary 4/5- ‘Learn a Skill’ afternoons

During this term, Primary 4 and 5 will take part in ‘Learn a skill’ afternoons every Tuesday. Children have been allocated into mixed groups  from across the four classes in their year group depending on which activity they selected. The options were:

P4- Origami, Cookery/baking, Technology, ICT/graphics/making a comic strip

P5- Model making, Zumba, Arts and crafts and Music making.

We were pleased to be able to offer most children either their first or second choice.

The purpose of these afternoons is to facilitate personalisation and choice and challenge and enjoyment – some of the key principles of Curriculum for Excellence. The sessions also allow children to build up relationships with their peers from other classes, as well staff, whilst developing a range of new skills! Feedback from the first P4 sessions has already been extremely positive and photographs from all groups will be posted here and on twitter over the coming weeks. We are confident that your children will find these sessions rewarding and enjoyable.
