Our Ben Lawers and Lomond Clans started British Science Week by organising and teaching a Science Friday Takeover with all our clans.
They nominated children from each clan for a certificate for their contribution and participation in the science tasks!
Congratulations everyone and thank you to our Ben Clans for organising such a successful event.
A huge thank you to The Grapes in East Calder, for purchasing these chef aprons for Primary 4, for their Le Clan Café event. These aprons will also be used in our STEM Studio for cookery experiences. Thank you!

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.
We would request that if children have access to a phone or tablet they download the following free apps to support with learning through glow:

To download Microsoft Office 2016 from the Glow Application Library, search for the ‘Office 365’ tile, shown here. It can be found on the National (Scotland) Launch Pad or you can add it to your own Launch Pad. Further help on the App Library is available here.
To download the software to a PC or Mac, click on the Office 365 tile and follow the instructions. More information from Microsoft is available here.
If you are downloading to an iPad or iPhone, you will need to download the apps from the App Store then log in using your Glow username. More information from Microsoft is available here.
It is also possible to download the apps from within Microsoft O365. To do so, click on the Office 365 link in the top left of your screen. This will take you to the O365 home page. Click on ‘Install Office 2016’ and follow the instructions.
