On Thursday the boys and girls in Primary 6 had a fantastic trip to Kelburn Country Park near Largs. They had fun exploring the Secret Forest and on the adventure trail. They also had the chance to do some bushcraft!

Kelburn Shopping List
Kelburn have been in touch and have asked if we would like to preorder anything from their shop. These items will be made up ready for you to collect on the day. Here is a copy of their email:
Many schools and nursery groups are now asking for school packs to be made up from the gift shop.     These are pre-ordered and this means that the children get to take a souvenir  back from Kelburn. If this is of interest to you please find attached a sample of packs with prices list below.

Travel Tracker
The children in Dunrobin have been using the Travel Tracker website to record how we get to school in the mornings. Each day, we record our journey. This graph shows that most children are active, choosing either to walk to school or to park and stride. Once we have been active by walking, cycling or using park and stride for a whole month, we will start to receive reward badges. The more active we are, the more rewards we will receive. We are looking forward to seeing how many rewards we will achieve this month!
global water shortages
we have been learning about global water shortages and have written news reports about them. You can see one here.
Eclipse film
On the day of the eclipse we filmed the children in the playground. Here is one of our videos.
Access to Education
We have been looking at Global Access to Education and learning about how children face barriers to learning for many reasons. Here is one video that suggests we are all “Born to Learn”.
Measuring Angles
The children in Primary 6 have been using protractors to measure angles. Here we have a video showing how we use a protractor.
Easter Egg Hunt!
The boys and girls in Primary 6 had lots of fun hiding and searching for eggs on Thursday and Friday. Some were hidden in the most obscure places!
Last Week’s Eclipse
Last week, the children in P6 made solar eclipse viewers so we could watch the eclipse safely. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy for us to see any of the eclipse, but we had fun going outside to experience the sky darkening and see the street lights coming on!
Combatting Litter
The children in Dunrobin Primary were visited by our local community police officer, Mary and Environmental Health officer, Andy yesterday. They were telling us about the litter problem in North Lanarkshire and what we can do to help solve it.
Our authority spends £6 million every year cleaning up the litter that has been dropped. By putting our litter in a bin we can help save this money, which can be used on more worthwhile things, such as providing new community centres and play parks.
