On Tuesday we went a trip to Bathgate Academy to start our transition process. We went to start to get to know the school a bit better and begin to learn our way around. When we arrived we asked questions to find out information. As a result, we were told what we can do if we get bullied, what sports activities are available, why the corridors operate a one way system and how many periods are in a day. Afterwards we got a run around the playground and chatted to some 1st year students! Next we split into groups to complete a treasure hunt activity. We were given areas of the school to go to and questions to answer. For example, we had to go to the school hall to find out the school motto. We had a 6th year guide to show us where to go. The first group back that answered the most amount of questions won a pen as a prize.

Today we took part in a Big Balbardie Blether to discuss our thoughts on Golden Time and the Golden Club. For Golden Time, we discussed the possibility of signing up to selected activities in different classes. For instance, there could be board games in one class and arts and crafts in another. Some of us like the idea of mixing with other children and having more options while others would prefer to stay in our own class. The results will be collated and feedback to us soon.

Have a good weekend,
