We took part in a debate about gender stereotypes, based on three questions:
We were randomly divided into groups to argue each side, with many of us arguing points which we didn’t personally believe in. This was really tricky!
– Primary 5-7
As you are probably all aware we have been very lucky to have Mr Spence working with us for the last 5 weeks as part of his PDGE course. His focus was with second level but he has enjoyed being involved with the whole school. He has been involved in the planning and delivering of numeracy and literacy lessons as well as taking a lead role in teaching primary 4-7 about climate change. We have really enjoyed having him with us and can’t believe how fast these last 5 weeks have gone. We are sad to see him go. We wish him all the very best in his next teaching placement and in his future teaching career! Thank you very much for everything you have done Mr Spence!
We have been learning about poetry this term. We started by looking at poetry written by Robert Burns as we were reciting some of his poems at our Burns Supper. We have previously looked at acrostic poems so this term we have looked at limericks, haiku’s and rhyming poetry. Poems do not always have to rhyme! Mr Spence taught us these before we had a go of writing our own. We will post what we learned and the poems we created for you to have a read.
We are learning about Climate Change with Mr Spence. It is fun and it gives us more knowledge about our own world. It gives us ideas of how we can help to reduce this now and when we are older and have a car for example.
This term we are very lucky to have Brian Spence in with us for a teaching placement. We are very excited to have him in the school and teach us.
