Let me introduce our Rights Respecting Schools Rep.
Hi, I am Finn the new RRS Rep. I have a hamster and a little brother Lewie (P3D). I like to play with my hamster and I like to go to Karate. I was really happy when I was chosen to be the rep.
Hi, I’m Emma. I have a dog and a hamster. I like being in the garden and I always pick up my litter. I’m excited and happy to be the Eco Rep.
Meet our 3 violinists.
Emma and Adam have been going to Mr Rodden to learn violin since Primary 4. Mara was very lucky that there was a spare violin and now she is receiving lessons.
Murron’s mum said she was a ‘delight’ and her dad said she was his little princess. Awww!
Steven’s mum and dad said they are very proud of him because he tries very hard at school and he wants to make friends with everyone 🙂
Mrs Brown set a whole school challenge. Each class was given a right to learn about. Then we had to illustrate our right in the corridor. After a lot of discussion P5A decided to choose the biggest board to display our work on.
The right we looked at was Article 32: Child Labour. We played the Paper Bag Game to find out what it is like for some children living in India. Unfortunately none of our families made enough paper bags to make enough money to survive. Take a closer look at our display.
Dear Mums and Dads and family and friends. Our class assembly has been moved to Friday 16th November. Please take a note in your diary. We hope to see you all then 🙂
The class were set a challenge to design and make the outside of the chocolate factory. Each group were responsible for a different part of the factory.
Gumballs made the welcome sign.
Bumps and Bruises made the factory door.
Puppies made Mr Wonka (with chocolate smelling trousers).
Fizz, Bang, Pow made the factory walls with the help of Mrs Easton and Ice Coca Cola. The walls also smell of chocolate!
Ice Coca Cola made the chimney and smoke.
This term we are learning about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As part of our topic we learned about Fair Trade. The class took part in a chocolate trade challenge. Each group was responsible for an aspect of the chocolate production.
2 cocoa bean farmers
2 chocolate manufacturers
2 supermarkets
2 shoppers
We learned that Fair Trade farmers were treated better than non Fair Trade farmers. They were guaranteed a good price for their beans which allowed them to support their family e.g. by sending their children to school.
Emma was the first ‘Star of the Week’. We all enjoyed reading her mum and dad’s comments about Emma and her freckles in the Proud Parents’ book.
