This week Primary 6 had a great football session with Coach Craig. They demonstrated great communication and team work. Well done!

Our class novel is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. We have been learning about Ancient Greece and myths to complement our understanding of the novel. Some of our highlights from this week include beginning to explore pottery and how it was used for storytelling aswell as investigating Greek architecture.

Next week we are looking forward to creating our own vases to depict a famous Greek story.

I hope you enjoy reviewing your child’s jotters over the weekend and I look forward to meeting with you next week.

This week Primary 6 had their first introduction to the Playzone Leadership Training Programme. This is an opportunity that is offered to all primary six pupils within ERC.  The pupils enjoyed their workshop which was delivered by our Active Schools contact, Tony Bryson.

The pupils learned about the important attributes that will help them promote their leadership skills. Over the coming weeks, pupils will work in teams to plan and deliver the Playzone activities to their classmates, then eventually to the younger pupils. Tony will be popping in to see their progress and the learners will be awarded a certificate upon completion of the course.

We started our final term with a mini learning focus about religious milestones. The pupils understand the importance of a milestone in someone’s life and some religious milestones within Christianity and Judaism. Everyone chose an additional religion to investigate which religious milestones they celebrate. The pupils demonstrated excellent curiosity and respect during the lessons.
