The Rights Respecting School Steering Group launched a whole school competition to design a school mascot for RRS. Thank you to everyone for their hard work. The children certainly had a difficult choice choosing the winner. Congratulations to Holly in P6 who created ‘Roxy Rights.’ She is fab!!
Primary 2 were very excited to visit a working dairy farm as part of their milk and farming topic. We were given a tour by Andrew from Newlands Farm which is close by the school. His farm has beef and dairy cows and supplies the milk to Marks and Spencer. Pupils were very lucky as we saw 2 calves that were just born last night! They also got to sit
For our final leadership academy the pupils enjoyed preparing a treat of strawberries and bananas dipped in melted milk chocolate. They also got to try white and dark chocolate. All the ingredients were Fairtrade. Pupils also learned about the importance of Fairtrade and how it helps farmers around the world. Well done boys and girls for raising enough money from the sale of your flapjacks to enjoy your treat!! Both
Primary 3 thoroughly enjoyed making fruit kebabs yesterday as part of their Health and Well-Being. They used the bridge technique to cut the banana and strawberries. We have been learning about the different foods that you need to eat as part of a healthy diet, including not five but seven pieces of fruit and vegetables every day!
P5 have been enjoying hockey lessons delivered by a coach from the local hockey club. They are playing fun games including ‘King of the ring’ and ‘Freeze,’ If you would like to know how to play these games, please ask one of our P5’s. 🙂
P5 had a very busy week. They worked in small groups to design, resource and make Easter Bonnets. Their success criteria for the task was to work cooperatively in their groups and make sure they all took an equal part in the design and in making the bonnet. The children worked very hard and put together some marvellous creations!!! Fantastic work P5 😀👍🎩🐤🐣🐥🦋🐰
P5 have been working in small groups to research different special diets. Four different diets were studied: Vegetarian, Halal, Celiac and Diabetes. Pupils had to prepare information posters and present their findings to the class. Children had to listen carefully to the facts for the three diets they had not researched and they had to record any new facts they learned. Great work P5!
Pupils in P2 were excited to make a healthy sandwich along with their parents/guardians. The ingredients for our sandwich were: wholemeal bread soft cheese spread cheddar cheese slice hommous lettuce ham Everyone really enjoyed making the sandwich and trying new foods. The hommous was a new taste for P2 pupils and they decided they didn’t like it because of it’s texture and smell. Well done for trying it anyway! 🙂
All the children in Aitkenhead Primary designed their own yellow brick which showed something that made them happy. They did this as we celebrated ‘International Day of Happiness.’ These were all collected and displayed on our ‘Wall of Happiness.’ Such a wide range of things make our children happy from playing with friends to eating chicken to playing fortnite!
P5 had an action packed day today at New Lanark! Their tour guide, Leslie, was super impressed with how much knowledge the children already had about life in the past at New Lanark. They were able to see the cramped living conditions people lived in and experience exactly what school was like through a brilliant role play session. The children were also able to experience the ‘Annie McLeod ride’ which gave
