Term 3 PE in Tay and Rannoch
Autism Awareness in P3 and P4
L.I. I am learning about autism and that we all have differences and similarities.
Ness, Rannoch and Tay clans have been finding out all about autism for World Autism Acceptance Week. We shared our prior knowledge about autism and then read some stories to find out more. We recognised that autism is one of many things that make someone unique and we celebrated this by making venn diagrams to show our similarities and differences. Some of the pupils were keen to share their knowledge with others so we made a video showing our understanding and ideas about autism and why awareness is important.

Ness Clan Internet Safety Video
Internet Safety Week
L.I I am learning how to develop healthy and respectful relationships online.
As it was internet safety week, Rannoch clan learned about how to develop healthy and respectful relationships online. We discussed in groups, what kindness looks like, feels like and sounds like online, why it matters and what we can do if someone is being hurtful online.
We made a looks like, feels like and sounds like grid to put up in our clan room which included all our ideas. We can refer back to this when needed. We then looked at unkind comments and tried to find a way to change these so that they are acceptable to share online. Finally, we played a game on google called ‘interland’ and explored the kind kingdom level. This game aims to help children to stay safe and be kind online. We picked up some helpful hints on how to be kind online.
