Tetrahedron Workshop…

Reminder: Specialist Group C are SWIMMING tomorrow. Remember your swimming kit!

Thank you Billy (from Construction Skills) who came to do a Tetrahedron Building workshop. Billy taught us that there are lots of skills in the construction industry that are developed when completing activities. Some of the skills which we had to develop were: Problem Solving, Listening, Team Work and Talking.

All of the teachers have argued that each of their own register classes were the best, but Billy managed to slip out of the school before he told us who was the best register class. We think it was wise- we don’t want to start a riot!

Check the blog tomorrow, to see what we have learned the past two Thursdays, about some of the key people during the Enlightenment.

Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice

Let’s get together…

SWIMMING: Group B, it is your LAST swimming session tomorrow!

What a fantastic day today was. The founding figures of ‘The Scottish Enlightenment’ would be proud to see how hard Scotland’s children work in school on a day like today.

THANK YOU BILLY (Construction Skills Scotland) for working with Mrs MacLeod’s and Mr Cook’s register groups. He’ll be back next Thursday to work with Mrs Prentice’s. Then he’ll be able to choose the winner out of the three.

Without even knowing it, you developed some of the skills which were demonstrated by those who made the enlightenment a success. You developed knowledge and skills today in: technology, architecture, poetry, engineering, history, team work, listening and talking whilst working with Billy, Mr Cook, Mrs MacLeod and Mrs Prentice.

We can’t reveal ANY photos or videos until next week, as it is a SURPRISE what the other groups got up to. Remember- shhh- don’t tell anyone in any other register class, you want your register class to win!

Let’s hope next Thursday is an even bigger success!

See you all in the morning,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice

Tidal Wave…

Please Note: NO PE KIT NEEDED TOMORROW

It was great to see our final number, Tidal Wave, come together today. Having the WHOLE of P6 and P7 on stage doing a rehearsed routine has a massive impact on the audience. Lunchtime rehearsals will start next week to finalise each of the songs.

Over the next two Thursdays, Billy Skinner from Construction Skills will be coming to visit us to do a technological problem solving. As we are doing this in 3 groups, it gives us plenty time to learn some more about the key figures of The Scottish Enlightenment.

Mr Cook’s register class will be starting at 1pm- Packed and School lunches only please tomorrow.

Tomorrow: Bring your imagination- you’ll need it!

See you in the morning,
