As part of money week Primary 2s have been painting their very own money banks.

As well as having the Recruitment Manager, P7 also had a visit from Lauren, a Manager at Aldi, who told them skills about her job so that we could guess it before she left. Everyone enjoyed hearing about her job and guessing about her profession as a manager.

On Monday we had a talk from a Sea Cadets Leader. She told us that you have amazing adventures and do lots of fun things like sailing, rowing, power boating (which is using a boat that has an electric engine), kayaking, orienteering, first aid, navigation, cooking and adventure training. So lots of fun stuff!

They have a ship called the TS Royalist and you can go on it! However you can only go on it when you are 13. We had an amazing time! Most of P6 and P7 really want to become a Sea Cadet. Thank you Sea Cadets for coming in to see us and giving us the brilliant presentation!

Someone came in to talk to us a few weeks ago. She was called Sonja Stokoe and it was also Annabelle’s mum. First we had to guess her job but nobody could guess it. She just told us anyway and it was marketing – also known as advertising . Then we played two fun games. First we had to guess slogans then after that we had to guess the logoss but sadly she had to go. That was fine with Annabelle!

Mrs Hart works as a call handler at the Golden Jubilee Hospital. It was really funny to hear what she was telling us about. She told us about a man that had stubbed his toe so hard that he said it had fallen off but she didn’t understand because he still had his shoe on! She played Chinese Whispers with us and she said Primary 5 were better at it than Primary 4 were because we heard it a bit better! She was really kind and she got a box of chocolates and a pen in a velvet case. Primary 4 and 5 thanked her and she gave us all a sweet. We all miss her very much.

Primary 2 have been learning about the Sun, Moon and the Stars. They’ve also been learning about Chinese New Year and have made some patterns out of paper and some Chinese Lanterns. Mr Johnston’s class (2c) have also been learning about the senses. Primary 2 have enjoyed learning about these topics and are excited to learn about some new ones!

Last week Ann McCann came in to talk about her job. She works in Renfrewshire Council. She is a member of the HR section. She talked about lots of different jobs in the council. She talked about swimming teachers, gardeners and lots of different jobs. It was very interesting.

Primary 7 recently had a visit from Mrs Buchannan, a Recruitment Manager. She talked to them about her job in a recruitment office,  some of the different things she needs to do in her job, as well as some skills you may need to have that particular or a similar job. Everyone found it very interesting and enjoyed it quite a lot.

Primary 4 and 5 had a visit from the Paisley Panda and a St Mirren football coach. It was really interesting to hear about the life skills you would need to be a football coach. The panda wouldn’t talk. Everyone kept asking about why the panda wouldn’t talk and it was really funny. It was really enjoyable! Primary 5 had a lot of fun listening to how the coach trained Callum in our class. His face turned bright red and it was extremely funny! Primary 5 thanked the coach for coming and the panda gave people high fives and hugs.

Last week team one started being Young Leaders and they all did extremely well.  James, Mackenzie and Callum did dragons treasure; Kirstie and Amy F did hockey and Mitchell and Lara did rounders . Look out for the play leaders in the playground and team two are doing it the following week.
