Planting in the inside outside eco pod!
Primary 7 have been digging and planting in the inside outside eco pod. We have been planting lots of different plants. We planted herbs, heather and lots more. We planted two big bamboo trees too. We also put in blackboards to draw on we have also have a once upon a time chair and we have little logs to sit on. Mr. Goodsir screwed the mirrors into the setting area and we can look out ourselves. We go into the eco pod all the time and we really like it!
Whole School Litter Pick!
On Tuesday 21st May 2013 the whole school had a litter pick day around the school and Glasgow Road. People came from Tesco and Falkirk council to help us. First we had to choose a partner. Then went around the park, the co-op and the football pitch behind the school. It was so dirty and there was lots of litter. There were sweetie wrappers, glass, and crisps packets, plastic, Irn bru cans and Cola cans.
After playtime everyone meet in the hall. The primary 7s and primary 6s went to Glasgow Road. We split up into three groups. One group went along to the bottom end, another group went to the top end and one stayed in the middle. At the top and middle there was loads of rubbish like hats, scarves, gloves, spoons, forks, knifes and metal bars .After that we back to school. We hope everyone uses a litter bin and is responsible for their own rubbish. Josh
World of Work Event
On Thursday 9th May at 1pm-3pm Easter Carmuirs held a world of workday event. It was held in Easter Carmuirs Primary School hall. We invited local businesses in to help us choose our future job.
Before the event we were learning about all the different careers. During ICT time we made posters to put up around the school. About 2 weeks ago we went ICT and found out some numbers for businesses in our area like hairdressers, butchers and vets.
During the event we went to all different parts of the hall to speak to local businesses that had came into speak to us. First we went to the butchers and we made some burgers. When we were at the butchers I learned that use all different kind of machines.
I really enjoyed PC McInnes because his job seems serious and interesting. I thought his job was interesting because he is a policeman and it seems important. I learned that if you have to be a police man you have to be fit .I also really enjoyed the gymnastics coaches because their job seems hard and fun. When I was at the gymnastics part I learned that you have to be fit to be a gymnast. The 3rd person we went to was the joiner. I liked listening to him because his job seems very interesting. I learned that you need maths to be a joiner. I thought the most interesting job was the gymnastics coach because it seems fun, looks good and would be someone who was hard working.
I enjoyed the event and I think the school should do another one next year. Taylor
World Of Work by P7
On Thursday 9th May in the afternoon we had a World of Work event. It was held in our school hall. We invited local businesses in to talk about and perform their professions. Leading to the afternoon, I was excited and anxious; I was very interested in hearing the employees from local businesses.
Building up to the event, our tasks in ICT time were to find local businesses to contact them and to create an eye-catching poster to advertise the event. Just before the event, we were given a list of people attending.
I was very excited when we entered the room; our first station was a butcher just adjacent to us. They used complicated machines and utensils to shape the meat. Next was P.C.McInnes and he did a Q&A session about his profession. Next was a wood joiner, then Tony Bragg, who talked about how everything was quality checked before it happened/was, consumed. Next was Danielle’s dad who was a door supervisor. He talked about how he filtered out aggressive alcoholics and calm, collected people just wanting a good time. Finally, there were two gymnasts.
This was a great event and it was very interesting and I enjoyed it. The only criticism I have is that I wish it was extended to a full day rather than a full afternoon. Adam
Dalguise 2013
P7 went to Dalguise
We unpacked and went to meet Pete. When we went to the archery I had fun because I hit the target during the game. The rock climbing was hard because I was struggling to reach the top. Fencing was fun too. My favourite activity was the giant swing. I liked it because it was very funny when we swung down. I liked motorsports as it was very funny when Emma crashed. I was scared doing the 75 foot tree. Something I learned about myself at Dalguise was that I am not scared of heights. Barry
Dalguise
On Monday 18th March primary 7 went on an amazing to Dalguise in Perthshire for five days. It was a treat for us leaving primary school. On the first day we met our instructor Pete and then we walked up to Craigvinean that was the name of the cabins we were staying in and we got unpacked. My favourite activity was the giant Swing I went on it twice the first it was a mix of fun and scary the second time it was just fun. The activity I felt most nervous about was Jacobs ladder on that you had to climb up a set of beams they got further away each beam. My biggest achievement of the week was facing my fear of heights. Something I learned about myself at Dalguise was I am not as scared of heights as I was when I came. Something I would never forget would be the activities. Overall I thought the whole experience was amazing, fun, hard, exciting and phenomenal and superb!!! Dean
Dalguise
On Monday the 18th March P7 went to Dalguise which is in Perth, every year the P7’s go to Dalguise because that is our big trip before we leave to go to high school.
I shared a room with Chloe M, Taylor, Rebecca and René. I liked sharing a room with them because they are my best friends and I especially liked spending time with Rebecca because she isn’t going to the same high school as us, so I will really miss her. 🙁
Our leader for Dalguise was Pete and he was really nice. He was the person who took us to breakfast, lunch and dinner and was the person who kept us on track. I will miss Pete because he was funny and he taught me a little science lesson when we were eating our lunch. We had a cup full of water and we had a fork. We put the fork in the water and it looked like it had been bent.
After dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we went to the shop and I bought stuff for my family and sometimes I bought stuff for me.
The activities we did were the zip wire, giant swing, tree climbing, rock climbing, Jacobs’s ladder, abseiling, vertical challenge, archery, motor sports, fencing, sensory trail, orienteering, challenge course and problem solving.
My biggest achievement at Dalguise would probably be climbing the 75ft tree and getting to the top of the rock climbing because I was the only person who got to the top of the rock climbing.
The activity I was most nervous about was the 75ft tree because my big brother said to me it was really scary but when I got to the top I wanted to go down and do it again.
On Tuesday our school and all the other schools had a big real life game of cluedo and it was really fun. The murderer was Lord Dalguise, he kilt the person in the car park with a piece of shrimp.
Something I learned about myself at Dalguise was that I just have to go out and try things. I don’t have to be afraid because the things I was afraid to do were the things I wanted to do again. Emma-Louise
Dalguise
When P7 went to Dalguise we did lots of outdoor climbing activities like tree climbing, vertical challenges, climbing walls and lots more. We also did things like archery, giant swing and games in the giant tic tac. We were in the bus for about 1 hour and a bit and then we arrived at Dalguise and had to pull our heavy suitcases up a hill to our cabin.
The things I enjoyed most about the week were trying new things like climbing a 75 foot tree 3 times and going on a quad bike.
The activity I felt most nervous about was the 75 foot tree climb but once I did it once I wasn’t scared to do it another two times to the top.
My biggest achievement of the week was climbing to the top of the tree climb 3 times.
Something I will never forget about Dalguise would be when me and Sophie were arguing at the giant swing about who would pull the rope.
Something I learned about myself at Dalguise was I’m not really scared of heights.
Overall, I thought the whole experience was AMAZING ! Chloe M
Science Festival
On Wednesday 13th March Primary 7 went to a science festival at Grangemouth stadium. We were split into 4 groups and did 5 workshops. Fabulous Forces, Rockets, Ineos chemicals, Scottish power and K’Nex challenge.
It was really fun and we learned lots about science, gravity and more!
