Fairtrade research in ICT

Primary 6/7 are researching Fairtrade products. They are learning facts about Fairtrade bananas, chocolate, honey and hot chocolate. With their newly learned facts they are creating PowerPoint presentations, posters and animations. Some children are using using newly learned programming skills through Scratch to create a programmable Fairtrade animation.

Heartstart

Primary 7 were practising the recovery position and CPR this afternoon.  They are also designing information texts detailing the sequence of events to give effective First Aid.  These have to be clear, easy to understand and have steps ordered correctly.
