This week in Stirling we have been learning all about what makes us different and unique. As it is Austism Awareness and Acceptance week we have been learning about how to better understand autistic people. We have also been exploring what makes us all the same and what makes us different from one another.
Calderwood Primary had a visit from “Take Away Theatre” last month, who performed “Hope”, an anti-bullying production, to our P4-7 clans. P4 and P6 clans also participated in follow-up workshops. The performance was delivered by professional actors and was thought-provoking and entertaining for the children. The children were captivated throughout the performance. The workshops for P4 and P6 clans provided the opportunity for the children to explore the issues raised in the performance in greater depth. Through Health and Wellbeing lessons, children also completed activities in clan related to the performance.
Hello Folks!
In Stirling clan we have been exploring how to keep ourselves safe online.
We set out the following goals:
We discussed how we use technology and the internet and voted for our favourite things to do, gaming and watching videos came out on top!
We then watched these clips:
Sharing Pictures (6 minutes)
Playing Games (9 minutes 15)
Both films available here: Jessie Friends videos (thinkuknow.co.uk)
This prompted a clan discussion around what rules we could have to make sure we are always safe when using the internet. We came up with the following rules:
1
People you don’t know are strangers.
When you are online or playing a game people are not always who they say they are.
2
Be nice to people.
Be as nice as you would be if you were in school or playing together.
3
Keep your personal information private.
Don’t tell people online where you live or the school you go to.
Never take a photo of you and send it to a stranger, even if they ask. Photos are also private.
4
If you ever get that feeling in your body that tells you something isn’t right, maybe you feel a bit worried, then tell an adult you trust.
We decided we wanted to create posters to remind of our rules in a fun and interesting way. We chose some posters to stay in our clan and then delivered other posters to P1-3 for them to use in their ICT areas.
Hello Folks,
In Stirling Clan we had the best time on our trip to Dynamic Earth. Some of the clan highlights where our visit to the Planetarium and touching an ice berg. Stirling clan done a fantatstic job recalling all their learning about the rainforest and really impressed the expert in our workshop.
We have also loved getting outside, even if it is really chilly, to develop our fundemental skills in football. Having finished basketball we are learning that there are a lot of skills in team work and communication that are the same. We have been exploring successful shooting, accurate passing and controlled dribbling in our sessions and mini games.
We are so excited to launch this years Calderwood Careers! This is an opportunity for P4 -P7 to apply for a lunch time job around our school. If you would like to apply for a position, please complete the application form by Monday 13th November. This can be completed at home or school. Remember to be confident and share all the amazing skills you have!
Hello folks,
This Term in Stirling clan we have loved investigating our namesake Stirling City. We have looked at mapping the town using grid refrences and key landmarks. We have created symmetrical landmarks and looked at shadow and perspective in art. Through our grid refrences we have explored cardinal points, angles and transformation.
