Aberdeen clan celebrated Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 6th February. We watched a BBC Live Lesson which focused on technology of the future and provided an insight into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We were amazed by the concept of driverless cars! We made notes and then created posters to share our new knowledge.
Aberdeen Clan have been learning about the history and recent changes to our local area. We enjoyed sharing our knowledge of East Calder landmarks and places of interest before plotting them on a map. Next, we will be using historical evidence to explore different types of housing in the area and compare the lives of people in the past with our own.
Dundee Clan performed their clan assembly, ‘Save the Rainforest’, today to the whole school and to our families. Dundee clan have had a fantastic time learning all about the rainforest. We have explored where rainforests are in the world, why they are so important, what the issues are affecting them and what we can do to support them. We have loved exploring the rainforest and are sad that it is time to move on to new learning. Some of the children are going to continue spreading the word and learn more, and have started a club together. We hope everyone enjoyed our assembly today. We enjoyed preparing it and performing it for everyone. I wonder if our song is still stuck in your head! We can’t stop singing it!
Aberdeen Clan had a wonderful time celebrating together at our Christmas party. We had fun playing games, dancing, and sharing a snack dressed in our party clothes!
Dundee clan’s trip to Dynamic Earth was fantastic! We enjoyed a tour around the centre finding out about our amazing planet. We loved the 4D cinema, the planetarium and the rainforest section. There was so much to explore. We were also able to show off our knowledge about the rainforest in the rainforest workshop, showing the leader what we had already learnt in school. Mrs Scobie was very impressed with everything that we had remembered.
We have absolutely loved working on our enterprise project creating Christmas craft to sell to other clans. We decided on the crafts we wanted to make and sell, working together in groups (like little hard-working elves) to complete as many items as we could, alongside creating a persuasive poster and price list. We have worked on skills which will support us as we journey through our lives such as teamwork, creativity, focus, concentration, resilience and perseverance. We had a great time selling our crafts and used our skills of persuasion during the sale.
Dundee Clan had a fantastic time at their Christmas party. We created a playlist together with all of our favourite party tunes and loved dancing to them. We played musical bumps and corners which was great fun. We enjoyed some food and a drink together in the café which was well-deserved after all that dancing. We are well and truly in the Christmas mood.
Aberdeen Clan had a fantastic time on our recent visit to Dynamic Earth. We especially enjoyed the planetarium, 4D experience, and sharing our rainforest knowledge with an expert during our workshop.
