The Ben’s have been learning about values that are important to them. In class they were given a big list of values in which they were to narrow these down to their top 15, then their top 10. Once these values were narrowed down, pupils put them into a core value matrix. These top 10 values were drawn against one another to decide which one was more favourable. The values were narrowed down to their top 6. The Ben’s then had the creative freedom to decide how to represent these 6 core values. Some of the ideas include; poster, paintings, videos, PowerPoints and poems. This then led to creating their class charter in which they decided between them the top 6 values for the class. Pupils had the opportunity to see each others work and look at the creative ideas in the clan. Pupil’s have the opportunity to discuss their ideas at home.
Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond have been discussing bring your own device.
If you would like your child to take part in this opportunity please complete the form below (in which will also give you more information) , it will begin on Monday 22nd August.

What a way to end the term! This week we were lucky enough to get out to Lowport at Xcite Linlithgow to spend the day splashing about on the canal in canoes and working through some challenges as a team.
We all thoroughly enjoyed canoeing 🛶 on the canal. It took us a bit of time to figure out how to move the boats effectively but eventually managed forwards and backwards to play some fun games. We had fun, we laughed and got soaked.
The first challenge being about listening to each others ideas and coming up with solutions to quite a simple challenge, pass the ball to each other without dropping it. This was much more challenging that initially thought. After some time, some great (some not so great) suggestions, the team worked out that concentration, communication and listening to each other was absolutely key. 
Next the challenge, called ‘Bang Grid’, tested memory, perseverance and communication. We started out the challenge on a grid of unmarked squares. After standing on the square the group discovered whether it was a safe square or BANG square. If we stepped on the bang square we had to return to the beginning. Eventually we all worked together to direct each team member across.
Another challenge was to get all the water in the tub. However, a series of obstacles and challenges were set and the groups worked hard using the communication skills they had learned to be successful. Some clear leaders shone through and it was very apparent that our practice of STEM in school helped in the engineering part of the challenge.
Lastly, how to communicate without talking. Some amazing gestures and strategies to arrange ourselves along a bench without falling off. We had to arrange ourselves in order of height, month of birth and an animal of choice.
Overall a cracking few days where memories have been made!
Even our champions had fun!
