P4/5 sandwick junior high school
Stronger Together, Reaching High
The whole primary and ELC took part in Da Voar Redd Up on Friday. P4/5 went down the Broonies Taing road and collected 6 bags FULL of bruck. It is sad how much bruck is left lying around but it is such an important lesson to do with children to teach them about looking after the environment.
Here is a picture of pupils from P4-7 at the end of their Redd Up. Also a pupil who did a special route for me and enjoyed being in charge.

P4/5 enjoyed a workshop on Climate Control.
During it they learned about climate change through videos, PowerPoint and experiments. Finishing it with working collaboratively to answer a question.
Interesting feedback as some pupils found it sad thinking about the future, how water will rise and by the end of the century the tomobolo at St Ninians would be covered!
Was a worthwhile lesson and left the class with food for thought.

For their homework P4/5 had to research the following:
🐾 Homework Task: Explore the Animal Kingdom!
Objective: Learn about different animals, their habitats, diets, and unique adaptations—and present what you discover in a creative way.
Choose 3 animals from different classes (e.g., Mammal, Reptile, Bird).
I gave them 3 weeks to do this and I am always blown away with how well they do! Each opts for a different way to present it and wow did it range from fantastic models made out of cardboard, Lego animals (created by not following a design), superb informative posters, newspapers, PowerPoints and tik tok style videos! Just love them all and grateful that they took time to do it. Well done guys – its been quite a day!
Thank you for supporting them at home.

After a lot of hard word I am very proud of the class and how well the assembly went. A superb showcase of our learning so far. Thank you at home for your help also.
Please enjoy some photos of it and thanks again to those who made it to watch.

P4/5 have been having learning about Symmetry in maths and this week they have been able to take their learning outside!
This involved a trip to Hoswick beach to make 2D + 3D symmetrical sculptures using natural resources found on the beach!
The pupils loved this. “This is fun!” “We get to do maths outdoors”
They listened to the instructions, worked together and created some super sculptures.
Big thank you to the parent helpers – without you this couldn’t have happened.

6 weeks of hard work between Mr Fraser, Mr Hayes + Mrs McClelland’s classes paid off yesterday afternoon/evening.
We couldn’t be prouder of how hard each and every pupil worked and how it all came together for the parents/guardians/family to see.
Nearly the end of term, holidays are coming and more importantly Santa! Enjoy the festivities when they come 🎄🎅
P4/5 and Mrs McClelland 🧑🎄
