Two student teachers from Arkansas visited our school for 4 weeks. Miss Jones spent her time with us in Primary 7V. Miss Walker was in Primary 6W/N. The classes got together to give them a farewell party – Scottish style. There was dancing, poetry, singing ….. and Haggis, Neeps and Tatties (and Irn Bru of course!)

‘Heyah World !x!

I loved Larbert High, it has been one of my  best experiences. I made a lot of cool new friends……….

 I enjoyed all my new subjects like health food and technology. I also liked all my new teachers such as Miss Buckley. Larbert high is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can’t wait to go !!’

(Lisa)

‘The high school was great! The lessons were really good and fun. My favourite lesson was music, we got to play on some keyboards, had a shot at some samba drums and normal drums. The lunches were very cheap and there was a big selection of what to eat.‘

(Thomas)

‘We were all pretty nervous about going up into the high school about meeting new friends and teachers, but it was all fine when we got there and my favourite subjects are science,music and P.E. I am now looking forward to going up to the high school after the summer holidays.’

(Adam)

‘I think Larbert High  is great, I made lot’s of new friends. Larbert high is a very big school it is one of the biggest schools in Scotland.’

(Nicola)

‘Yesterday was the last day of our 3 day visit to Larbert High School I really enjoyed it. I was sad to leave

                 There is loads more subjects to choose from and we got to try most of the subjects it was really fun I made a new friend called Christopher from Stenhousemuir primary. I cant wait to go back in the summer i wish i was there now ‘

(Jamie D)

‘I loved my three day visit at Larbert High School. Especially meeting my new friends, meeting my new teachers and doing fun things with them. I was scared incase i got lost and scared that i was going to be late. I really enjoyed Larbert High School and cant wait to go in August !x!’

(Sophie)

 Thanks, Jeanan!

I think that your most recent post probably describes the feelings of all of the P7’s after the three day visit to the High School. I’ll really miss you, but I’m so glad that you all had such a great time and that you’re all ready to ‘move on’. 

I’ve included your post below …..

 … and don’t forget that we have a wiki project to complete before you all go   –

back to work tomorrow!! 🙂

Hello I’m Monica. We got to meet our new teacher for next year. We are going to have Mrs Vass and she is teaching us how to do things on the blog. Fraser and Rebbeca edited some pictures.  They are below. Our homework tonight is to try to write a comment on the blog.

This picture shows the Carronshore pupils waiting to to go in to the Larbert High School building this morning. They were all very apprehensive at this stage. The Carronshore teachers stayed with them until they went off to their classes and activities. We hoped that they wouldn’t be too overwhelmed by the experience ……. guess what – apparently they LOVED it!!

I love high school!!!!!!

Posted by Danni on June 12th, 2007

Today we went to high school it was well better! The first thing we done was sit in our form classes. We then got showed a power point. After that we went to our first class. I went to french it was good. We done a word search and got asked questions! After another session of sitting down and getting told stuff again we went to  another class. I was at  science  /  chemistry. It was brilliant!  We got to see the teacher light a fire on bonsent  burner  I might have spelt it wrong. I found it so interesting. After that we had lunch. I had mine at the hub thats the dinner hall.  I had a turkey burger and a drink of water. I wasn’t that hungry. After lunch I went out side and I met new people. They were really nice. Then after lunch time we went back inside and had a fun after noon. We had a game in the hall and after that a show from the second years and the a power point about eco. That was what we done today. Tomorrow we will be doing our normal scedual and go to our classes. For people who are nervous about going to high school don’t be, it’s so much fun and way more better than primary. The thing about flushing your head down the toilet  is alot of rubbish its lies. So when you go enjoy your self  and think of it as just a bigger version of primary school and more classes!!

First Day At Larbert High!

Posted by Marc on June 12th, 2007

Today we all went to Larbert High School instead of going to Carronshore Primary. We are on our three day induction visit.

We sat in the Hall according to our  Form Class. The prefects helped us if we were confused.

We had to practise standing up before the Rector, Mr McGowan, came in to talk to us. It was very different from our assemblies with Mrs Livingstone!

 He told us all about our three day visit. Later we all went to our different classes to meet some of our new teachers. It was strange only having one or two Carronshore pupils in our class!!!

 On Friday, the whole school went on a ‘Big Walk’ around Carronshore. It was a great day! We had some practices during the week when every class walked around the school grounds. Our class ‘practised’ on Thursday. It was great because we just stayed out and played football after the short walk because the weather was so nice!

On Friday, we were a bit worried that the weather wouldn’t hold out … but it did!

James and Jamie caught some of the action on our camera. Check it out below!

[rockyou 72518278]

They even managed to video our nursery children walking (you can hear their comments as they recorded the action) … cannae get the staff these days 🙂

 In pairs, we wrote some playscripts about how to resolve arguments. We acted out the plays and the class voted for the best two. We have recorded them on here.

Jamie D and Thomas N are the cameramen!

Marc and Chloe helped to upload the videos.

The rest of the class were the Directors!

We’ve been so busy recently – it’s hard to keep up! Chloe D put this comment on her individual blog about our recent day out to the ‘Choices for Life’ event. Thank you, Chloe! It sounds like you had a great time! You can read her post below.

Choices for life!!Xx

“We went to the choices for life concert it was great.It had live music they done a game called family fortunes and the simpsons family won but they weren’t real they also had a play about a girl who took drugs and died because of them!!Everyone was dancing to the music.The people who performed were Pacific avenue, Natalie james, bell’s boys and lil chris.My favourite part was when lil chris was singing and when we played family fortunes.No wait all of it was my favourite especcially lil chris!!! We each got a goodie bag with a pencil in it, a pencil case, a rubber, a ruler, a water bottle and a bag!!”

Below is Danni’s entry about the event.  

“Today we went to a safety talk about making the right choices in life. Such as don’t take drugs don’t smoke and lots of other things. There was a play of these teenagers how they went from high school from primary school. It was a great play but a bit sad at the end!!We played a game but my team lost so I wont say much about that!! In between all this there was singers there….. Little Chris , Bells boys , A singer that is famous in Switzerland and a band called Pacific Avenue . It was brilliant . There was loads of schools there from all over. I had a great day!!”

 Yesterday we had a visit from some Australian educators. They spent a lot of time chatting to the children. They were all very nice. You can watch our interview below.

 In the afternoon, some of us went along to the Learning to Achieve Conference and told people how we use our Blogs. It went very well – we think they were really impressed

Here’s what Jeanan wrote about our presentation on her individual blog.

“Today some pupils from my class went to Airth Castle, the pupils that went were Lisa, Marc, Myself & Danni. It went really well and I am sure that everyone that listened to us should now know what a blog is, what a blogs for and how a blog can be used in an educational way. The day went really well and we all enjoyed it, we made a power point all about our blog and Mrs vass made a powr point too. So the whole day went very well, at the end of the day we all got a certificate for helping Mrs Vass.”

Well Done ….. and thank you, Mrs Livingstone, for choosing the winning ‘ticket””””

Scroll down to see how the tension started! Mrs Fergusson asked us to write down our names. They were folded up and put into the ‘hat’. Mrs Livingstone was asked to come along to pick the winner. Chloe C was the one who shook all the names about in the ‘hat’.!!!!!   ….. and the winner is ……….. Watch this space to find out :))

I’m over the moon!!!! We won! Thank you to all who voted! What will we do with the phone? Well, all the P7 pupils who have a blog will put their names into a hat. We’ll pick one out and that person gets the phone…….BUT …..they need to promise to use for the pupils’ blogs as well as for their own use. They get to take it home, but we want to share all the cool things it does. We’ve already got one, so we know about the great things like the camera, and the video recorder – and we’ll make some more podcasts!
