We have been very lucky this year to offer a variety of Out of Hours Learning activities right across the school. In consultation with the children, some of our more popular clubs have run for two consecutive terms. We will endeavour to continuosly increase the number of opportunities we provide.
In addition, some of our Primary Six children have taken part in a pilot scheme to become Junior Sports Leaders. They have learned how to run a mini- club at lunchtimes and then put this into practise by offering it to the Primary One and Two Children. Currently we have nine children who have successfully participated in the Junior Sports Leaders programme. These children offer activities to children on a Monday and a Friday each week. We plan to roll this initiative out further due to its success.
Some of our Out of Hours Learning clubs include:
Football (junior)
Football (senior)
Netball
Multi Sports
Homework
Eco
FairTrade
International Schools
Rota
Pupil Council
Primary four have been learning more about the Titanic this week. We’re a big fan of Captain E. Smith, and we had a big discussion about who was to blame for the sinking of the Titanic. Seven children thought that the Captain was to blame and most children thought the officers in the Marconi room were at fault. It was a very hard decision to make.
Here are some pictures of our brilliant Captain Smith painted by the children.
Our focus for science is animals. We have been learning about animals through Glow and using TigTag. Using the smartboard to complete the games and watch the video clips gives us lots of great facts. We have learned about domestic animals, where animals live, how animals move and will be looking at what they eat and the food chain. We even tried to move like some of the animals we were learning about!
On Thursday 18th February, Primary 6a and Primary 6b visited Edinburgh Zoo as part of their Interdisciplinary Learning on the Rainforest. We had a visit from a lot of animals including a royal python, a white tree frog and a hissing cockroach (which come from Madagascar). We also got to hold and touch these animals, apart from the tree frog. It was a great and informative day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Primary 6a and Primary 6b were decorating empty jars for Art. We were including different media so that the jars would look good when a tealight was inserted. Our finished articles looked fantastic.
A huge thanks to Mr Shanks and Mr Watterson who have kindly sponsored our school in order for us to receive new sports strips. Our guests of honour were present at our assembly this morning to see how good our strips look on. Thank you again for all your support.
