Lots of fun and learning with hammock building with a mixture of pupils from the purple, green, yellow and blue groups. We worked on tension, leverage, height, shape and size and eventually set up a very robust and comfortable hammock after a few mini falls from myself.
Costume prep for Friday Film Club …. pupils looking great.
Using a story about us humans destroying an elf village in our outdoor learning area with our giant feet we have been able to begin to transfer skills and learning as to how we can re-build a town and all the important parts and aspects of daily life. Today we began by navigating a hidden letter and then had to find the essential part of a house…..the front door.
This performance brought a whole inclusive school community together…..fantastic.
The pupils of Bothwellpark and Our Ladies High School came together to create a fantastic laser cut love heart shaped jigsaw to highlight the importance of supporting each other in all aspects of life.
At Bothwellpark we certainly have some “Confident Individuals”. Pupils and staff from Bothwellpark and Our Ladies High School had a fantastic time at the Autism Awareness Karaoke. Some very talented young people and lots of fun had by everyone.
We were privileged as a school to receive a fantastic message from Gregg Hemphill and Ford Kiernan, famously known as Jack and Victor from Still Game. A special thanks goes to all the pupils involved in our mini production and also to our very own Stephen ‘Spielberg’ Irvine for all the effort and endeavour put in over and above for the pupils involved.
Well done everyone.

In Denise’s fantastic science club pupils have has so much fun and taken in so much knowledge with floating and sinking. Using different liquids to see what mixes together and what liquids sit on top or sink to the bottom. Then a final and super exciting experiment with lots of chemicals to create a volcanic eruption.
Well done everyone in science club.

Vision
Our vision for outdoor learning in Scotland is that:
• all children and young people are participating in a range of progressive and creative outdoor learning
experiences which are clearly part of the curriculum
• schools and centres are providing regular, frequent, enjoyable and challenging opportunities for all
children and young people to learn outdoors throughout their school career and beyond
• teachers and educators embed outdoor learning in the curriculum so that learning in the outdoor
environment becomes a reality for all children and young people.
The Red Group, Purple Group and very supportive pupil from the Blur Group should be so proud. They where the first group to complete an active lesson in our new outdoor learning area. We learned about the dangers of dry leaves, the ring of fire and how to use a sheath knife to reduce the size of our kindling for our kelly kettle pot. We were all so responsible, safe, and achieved so much I couldn’t be prouder.
Well done everyone.
