We are concentrating on developing our Skills for Learning, Life and Work. Each week we add to our ‘Toolbox of Skills’ by focusing on a different skill and identifying ways to use it in order to improve our learning.

One of our first tasks in Primary 6 was the writing and delivery of our Vice Captain speeches. We learned about the powers of persuasion so that we might convince the school of our suitability for the role. The candidates all believed they were the best person for the job. Our speeches were delivered with confidence and flair whilst providing the school audience with brilliant reasons as to why they should vote for us.

Primary 6 provides us with opportunities to develop our leadership skills and take on different responsibilities. After applying for membership of various groups such as; GIRFEC Champions, Promoting Positive Relationships, JRSO, Pastoral Care, Journalists, Global Citizens and Fit4Life, we were allocated our roles and they are keeping us very busy!
