The Big Class have had great opportunities to excel over the past week. Four of our P.7s survived survival camp at the weekend. Five pupils attended the Ayrshire orienteering competition and none of them got lost!!! Plus …. our debating won their debate at County Hall. WOW!!!
Lucy got awarded her certificate for always adhering to our school values. Great job Lucy.
We had a fantastic day with Mr Allen in the Design & Technologies department at Carrick Academy. We couldn’t have been made feel more welcome and were assisted by 2 awesome seniors, who came in to help during their study leave.
After a tour of the department, the pupils got to see the 3D printer in action. It printed us a 3D version of our school badge to take back to show the wee class. They then followed a step by step lesson on CAD to design a keyring. The design information was sent to the laser cutter and each pupil got to take home their personalised keyring. The pupils were very impressed by the fact that Mr Allen could control their computer from his! They heard how the A3 printer can make large print jobs and we got a fantastic banner to take back to school. The final task was a Scalextrics tournament……Martha was the winner!
Throughout the day we linked design tasks to maths and gave a real context to measure, shape and scale. We also made links between the skills that are developed in the department and the types of jobs that would use these skills.
P5-7 pupils really enjoyed this learning day; they looked mesmerised by all the equipment and machines. Carrick Academy and the teachers were no where near as scary as some of the pupils thought they might be! They can’t wait to get to go back one day.
We had a competitive class today! We used newspaper and K’Nex to build the strongest bridge and the tallest tower. Who do you think won??
We also made accounts on My World of Work and will use this over the coming years to help us plan our career paths. One of the games told us what animal our personality was most like; MP was delighted to find out she was a teddy bear! CG was very pleased with his falcon animal personality.
Thanks to Professor Kate from @UniWestScotland for coming to @FishertonPS for our #STEM week #science day and teaching us all about microbes. We were also fascinated to hear about all the different science based jobs we could have one day! @DYWAyrshire pic.twitter.com/m5DIOevDt3

We…… pitched, sawed, sparked, cooked, ate, drank, gathered, walked, feared, chatted, slept, washed, canoed, escaped, shared and cleared…..ALL OUTDOORS!
Our experience was loads of fun but also had a serious side. Throughout the event we reflected on the life of refugees in a different type of camp! We had 2 activities that were very refugee focused. They were called FEAR and ESCAPE. If you want to know more then please ask us!
Well done to our high achievers this week.
Lacey and Leith were both Dojo Champs in the wee class. Charlie got an Achievement Certificate for always trying his best and working hard and Harvey got a Literacy Award for learning and knowing all his tricky words. Well done to you all.
