Collaboration for Disability Awareness Fortnight

While the campers were away having fun, children back at school were making the most of smaller numbers to collaborate on our Disability Awareness project. Over the course of the week children worked with Miss Smith, Miss Topping and Miss Sutherland to develop artistic skills representing this important topic.

In art children made self portraits that celebrated everyone’s uniqueness. In music children learned a song celebrating inclusion and respect for people with disabilities, and performed it beautifully by singing and playing tuned and untuned percussion instruments. In drama children created vignettes to highlight how people impacted by disability face challenges, and what we can do to help.

Look out for a showcase of all this and more on Thursday when we have a parade around the village!

Bye bye Ford Castle

It’s our last morning at camp and safe to say we’re all a bit gutted to be leaving.

We’ve had such a great time taking part in a range of activities, making new friends, working as a team and, most importantly, having loads of fun!

2nd day at camp

We have had an amazing day at camp today.

Some highlights include trapeze, air rifle shooting, aeroball and sensory trail.

We are getting ready for a silent disco later and then our final night in our dorms.

Day 1 – Happy Camping!

Day 1 at Ford Castle complete! After a long journey we arrived safely at Ford Castle and have already had a day of fun activities including rifle shooting, zip wire, survivor and ‘balloon splash’, which resulted in Mr McNaughton getting very wet! Looking forward to 2 more days of fun and teamwork.

“Mothers and Others Day” Crafting Afternoon

Primary 1-4 and P7 Buddies had a cosy afternoon collaborating together to create some lovely items to share with the people in our lives who love and nurture us. Children enjoyed the opportunity to work in different groups, and got creative with wool wrapping, painting, collaging and patterning. We shared a story together that helped children understand that all families are unique and special, and talked about the reasons children have to celebrate people in their life. We hope families at home enjoyed their surprise handmade gifts and pictures!
