Whitelees Wind Farm

P5/6/7 visited the wind farm as part of their investigation of renewable energy.

By considering examples where energy is conserved, I can identify the energy source, how it is transferred and ways of reducing wasted energy.                                                                                               SCN 2-04a

Through exploring non- renewable energy sources, I can describe how they are used in Scotland today and express an informed view on the implications for their future use.                                                                                                                                                                                      SCN 2-04b

P1/2 Visit to Summerlee

As part of P1/2’s ‘When Gran was a girl’ theme, they visited the Summerlee Heritage Centre in Coatbridge.

I have explored how people lived in the past and have used imaginative play to show how their lives were different from my own and the people around me.                                                           SOC 0-04a

I can compare aspects of people’s daily lives in the past with my own by using historical evidence or the experience of recreating an historical setting.                                                                            SOC 1-04a

House Technology Challenge

The children were all involved in a House challenge during Science & Technology Week. P1 and P2 children used lego to build a futuristic car and demonstrated how they could make it move using a remote control. P3-7’s challenge was to create a model which would have a moving part, powered by a motor and a solar panel.

Lanarkshire Foodbank Visit

Calderbank and Tollbrae responsible citizens visited the Foodbank to help sort the grocery donations.

Representing my class, school and/or wider community encourages my self-worth and confidence and allows me to contribute to and participate in society. HWB 1-12a, HWB 2-12a

As I explore the rights to which I and others are entitled, I am able to exercise these rights appropriately and accept the responsibilities that go with them. I show respect for the rights of others. HWB 1-09a & HWB 2-09a

Visit to Faskine Farm

P1-4 visited a local farm to visit the chicks that they had hatched in school a few months ago. The have now grown into hens and are producing eggs of their own.  We enjoyed the Autumn walk and the chance to see the cattle. Our highlight of the visit was the opportunity  to sit in the big red tractor !

I can explore examples of food chains and show an appreciation of how animals and plants depend on each other for food.
