The Pupil Council organised a sponsored skip/jump -athon fund raising event for Red Nose Day on Friday 13th March. Luckily the weather was very good and all the classes in the school were able to take part in various activities outside. During the week prior to the event, the pupil council members also sold red noses. A big thank you to everyone who took part by buying noses, wearing red or getting sponsors. We will let everyone know the final total when all the sponsor money has been collected. Here are some photos from Friday.
Primary 4/5 were very pleased to have a visit from Murray’s Dad today, who came into talk to about working on a ship. The class had lots of questions to ask, including the jobs of the crew, what health and safety is like aboard modern ships, and even what the crew do to relax when out at sea. It was very interesting to compare to what life was like on the Titanic.
I wonder if anyone in the class can post some interesting facts from the visit?
P4/5 have been busy changing the classroom into a Titanic theme. Without wishing to give too much away, they have been measuring, estimating, researching and teamworking to produce some exciting scenes in the classroom. All will be revealed at the Showcase!
Primary 1 enjoyed a visit to Leyden Farm, Kirknewton today. They had great fun seeing and feeding the animals. Although it was very cold and snowy they were still able to experience sitting in the tractor and forklift and also sitting on the quad bike. Farmer Stewart and Karen from RHET were both very impressed with the knowledge that they displayed and also with the quality of questions which they asked.
P6/7 are currently turning their class into an exavation site. As they are preparing to show their knowledge on The Aztecs, it was decided that the best way to do this was to imagine that our classroom is an excavation site in the middle of Mexico. Clay is being used to mould skulls for display. We are all looking forward to Showcase Day.
