Thanks Rosie Little for sharing your creativity and demonstrating to our senior pupils how to create felt poppies today. @PoppyLegion @LestWeForgetUK

Well, what a fabulous class debate with valid opinions and evidence to back up whether pupils were in agreement of the government reducing portion sizes in restaurants OR whether they disagreed with this initiative to cut down on childhood obesity. A few MSP’s commented on our twitter feed and even Mr John Swinney liked the fact that we were getting involved in politics and discussing real life scenarios which may affect our lifestyle. 18/32 pupils chose agree and 14/32 pupils disagreed with the government. We will use this data to display our results in graph form.

Rhiannon and Vhari asked if they could begin a mindfulness relaxation club for infant pupils. Here they are working with the Primary 1 pupils to deliver a  lunchtime mindfulness class. Well done girls! A great initiative and some fantastic ideas to lead with the younger pupils. Super proud of you both!

We have been learning about coordinates in numeracy and the voyage of the Titanic, on it’s fateful journey. During Outdoor Classroom Day we took our learning outside and plotted the coordinates of Harland and Wolff, Southhampton, Cherbourg, Atlantic Ocean and New York on a coordinate grid. It was great fun and really interesting to bring coordinates to life and see how we would use in everyday life.
