Today Primary 6 were lucky enough to have a visit from a Yoga specialist who teaches the teachers of Yoga. She came  to the class 2 weeks early to do demonstrate breathing techniques and was very enthused by the primary 6 pupils and so she returned to do a mini yoga session. Health and Well being is a huge part of the curriculum and the pupils are benefiting from getting regulation strategies for their emotions, be it physical or metal.  The pupils love the experience and some have mentioned joining a kids yoga class outside the school!

Primary 2/3 learned lots about looking after a pet and how to take care of and handle hamsters, it was great fun! Remember that even small pets come with BIG responsibilities.

Primary 6 got a visit from the SSPCA today. They learned lots about animal welfare and how to protect vulnerable creatures.

In groups, pupils were coding a robotic cat to react in a specific way and create a back story for each robot.

Primary 6 would like to introduce our new class mascot Diego!

During our Sustainable Energy topic, Primary 6 were devastated with the amount of carbon emissions and deforestation that is still taking place today. They felt so passionately about this that we as a class knew we had to do something, so we adopted a Jaguar. Our adoption pack will help to safe guard parts of the Amazon rain forest which will give the jaguars a chance to repopulate and it will also protects areas of trees and habitats.

Here it is!
