Castles CSI with Glasgow Science Centre. On Monday, we had a super visit from GSC who explained some of the science of castles. We also got to take part in a workshop being forensic scientists to investigate two different skeletons. It was a lot of fun and we definitely had to use great communication and teamwork to solve some trickier problems.

Shetland fir Wirds. On Monday, Bruce came in to help us begin to learn our words for ‘Da night afore Yul’. The learners all did so well and gave it a go, even when some of the words were very tricky. They’ve really embraced the theme for the Christmas Concert and have started to learn lines for other parts of the concert too.

Little people, BIG dreams. This week our Big Question, has focused on discrimination. The learners grapsed this concept well and explored it further by looking at different historical figures who had faced discrimination.

Monster Kickabout. We’ve had a super week celebrating football through the Monster Kickabout celebration. The football coaches have led sessions with the younger pupils in the multicourt each breaktime. It was that popular they held additional sessions with both the nursery and the P1/2 class. They held competitions for each class and then hosted a peerie assembly to give out cerificates to the MVPs and trophies to the competition winners. The coaches planned and organised the event themselves and have blown everyone away with their leadership and teamwork skills.
