The Red Group went by train into Glasgow. We have been reading lots of books after our book swap in school and we went to research our favourite characters from our books in Hamleys and the Disney shop. We managed to fit in McDona
lds for lunch!
The Red Group were out and about exploring their local area.
Some photos from yesterdays Beats of Brazil rehearsal with John and Marcia!
The Red Group took advantage of the windy weather to enjoy kite flying. They worked together and problem solved to get the kites up in the sky!!! Well done to everyone in the Red Group!!
The Red Group are enjoying music therapy sessions with Alan, who is a professional musician.
The Red Group are learning about world religions. We have visited Motherwell Cathedral and met with the Deacon. We enjoyed a tour of the Cathedral and asked the Deacon some questions. The Church itself is over 100 years old and Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral parish has been established for over 125 years!
The Red Group have just finished their indoor activity block where we have been developing skills and teamwork through football. Well done to everyone in the Red Group!
As part of our topic we have been learning about first aid and emergency procedures. John, who works in the school, is also trained in emergency first aid. He spoke to us about the defibrillator and how it can save lives.
The Red Group are investigating people who help us in our community. We had a visit from John who works with the Fire Service. He spoke to the class about the important work he does and he also brought along the clothes he wears as a Fireman. Sarah got a chance to try these protective clothes on.
Some pupils from Bothwellpark were given the opportunity to go into Glasgow on Thursday to watch a performance from the Celtic Connections festival at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. We watched two bands called Farra and Manran – all the pupils loved it and were up dancing during the songs! We are lucky to have tickets for another performance this Thursday (26th)!
