Future Me week

Primary 6 have been exploring job opportunities, finding our more about different jobs and what they do as well as what skills are required . We have also looked at routes into different careers.
Through our creative enquiry time this week we have focussed on 4 different jobs , investigated what is involved and had a go ourselves. We also enjoyed the careers Fayre where we got to her from lots of different professionals who shared about their jobs.

 

 

 

 

 

Teamwork

This week we have been working on cooperation and resilience. We played games together to help with our learning on percentages in maths. We also worked cooperatively in PE .

One of our aims on our Eco Action plan is to reduce, reuse and recycle.  As part of this the Eco committee have set a challenge over the Easter break for pupils to upcycle some of their rubbish into something useful.  We look forward to seeing what you can make and have fun with this challenge.  Good luck!

Showcase and Enterprise

Showcase     It has been a busy few weeks for p6. We worked very hard to put on our Showcase, focussing on article 28 and 29 of the UNCRC exploring our right to an education and how eduction should enhance our skills and talents. We focussed on all the skills and talents that we have developed and how we must persevere and never give up, we got to showcase all the things that make us the very best ‘me’ . We enjoyed singing and dancing and presenting our learning.
it was lovely to see the children’s confidence grow!

Enterprise. Then it was time to focus on our enterprise project!   We took part in the Virgin money ‘make £5 grow’ challenge. We had to work in teams to come up with a ‘business’ we decided on an Easter Fayre where we could buy things to make and sell at our stalls. This took a lot of teamwork and cooperation as well as working on our budgeting and marketing skills. The aim was to make a profit and after hosting our very busy Easter Fayre this week, we achieved our goal and after paying back Virgin Money, we made a profit of over £550!  A fantastic achievement after a lot of hard work!

The May in-service day was arranged to take place on the 2nd of May 2024 to coincide with a possible General Election. However, the date has now passed for the election to be called on the 2nd of May 2024.

As a result, the in-service day has been moved to Friday the 3rd of May. Schools will be closed to children on Friday the 3rd of May and for the holiday on Monday 6th May 2024. Schools will reopen for children on Tuesday the 7th of May 2024.

Apologies if this causes any inconvenience.
