Sharing Our Learning
P6 and P7 were canoeing this week with Excite. The pupils paddled along the canal playing different games to practise their canoeing skills. We worked on our communication and collaboration skills, working together to paddled the canoe to the correct place. The pupils showed great courage and perseverance!
Primary 7 started their next block of interest stations this week. The pupils lead their learning by deciding what they want to gain new skills in and plan what activities they do. For this block we have groups doing Adobe, Cake Decorating, Arts & Crafts and Moving Making. They have been working on their collaboration and communication skills to work together in a team and discuss their learning and next steps. We had lots of creativity this week from creating a script, creating pencil drawings to creating a video on Adobe.
Our Health and Well-being Mini Champs hosted a healthy cafe this morning. During this they shared the 5 ways of well-being and the ways our school promote the 5 ways of well-being.
This year our pupils voted to spend our Participatory Budget on Wellbeing Training for children. Our pupils have completed the training and are now Wellbeing Ambassadors. The first role for Wellbeing Ambassadors was to create a plan to ensure all children learned about The Five Ways To Wellbeing. They planned a Wellbeing Week for all children to enjoy. Each activity linked to one of The Five Ways To Wellbeing below.
CONNECT – Children were given a ‘connect’ pack to take home to promote discussion with parents. We hope you enjoyed this opportunity to relax and chat!
Keep Learning – Children had the opportunity to learn a new skill this week during Hobby Time and had opportunities to book into two hobbies including singing, dancing, painting, clay, bracelet making and baking.
Active – There were lots of opportunities to be active this week. Each class enjoyed a Gymnastics lesson as well as have a go on the smoothie bike! The silent disco and outdoor learning opportunities were enjoyed by lots of children as fun ways to keep active.
Take Notice – All children had an opportunity to develop mindfulness during a yoga workshop. Taking notice of nature was a real highlight during our Forest Schools Sessions. Children practised mindfulness outside too.
Give – Children had opportunities to make something to give to someone else. These children made kindness boxes full of lovely messages for someone else. How thoughtful!
We hope all of our pupils have enjoyed their Wellbeing Week and have developed their understanding of how to look after their Wellbeing.
As our cake decorating after school club comes to end, we are proud of the skills our young people have developed over the past few weeks.
Last week we were creative with an under the sea theme. This week we learned how to make cheeky Easter themed cakes.
