We visited the Scotland Street School Museum on Thursday morning. They have an exhibition running at the moment titled ‘Glaswegasians’. It explores the impact of Asian community members in Glasgow, and how they have influenced politics, culture and attitude in our city. It was very interesting!
Our fab Langside College team came to deliver another Athletics-inspired P.E. lesson. This week, we tried the long jump. Areeba Nasir and Zainab really showed us how its done!
As Muntaha received 50 dojo points, her personalised privilege request was to have some yummy toffee apples with her friends. It was a SWEET way to end the week. De-lish!
Mark, a representative from Sense over Sectarianism, came in to deliver one of a series of workshops on the earlier mentioned theme. We clarified definitions of the following; sectarianism, discrimination, stereotype. Mark referenced our class novel, Divided City, several times during his visit, which allowed us to make valuable connections between the text and its key themes.
Meril, a Welsh musician, came to perform for us at St Albert’s. He is also performing as part of Glasgow’s Celtic Connections music event. His style was very original, and he could sing with such intonation and soul. What a treat!
Meril said that he was inspired by the Beatles. Miss Cohen asked Primary 7 what their favourite songs were. These were the responses;
Zainab – Big Shaq: Man’s not hot
Muntaha – Havana
Maria M – Khaled: Young and broke
Furqan – Alan Walker: Fade
Dany – Hattrick
Iesa – Charlie Puth: Tension
James – Whizz Khalifa: See you again
Nabeeha – Dave: No words
