Aberdeen Christmas Party
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 Trip and Enterprise
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 Christmas Party
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.
