P7 High School Transition Visit

2 Comments

P7 group 1’s have had a fantastic time attending the high school CDT department with Dr Cherry. The children were able to use sawing equipment,  vices and sanding equipment to make a wooden spatula. They used olive oil to treat the wood before use. It was a great opportunity to explore the school and get a feel for the various departments and learn more about the knowledge and skills  they will experience. The children listened well, followed instructions, worked hard to reach their full potential and paid attention to safety rules. They were a credit to themselves and the school. Well done P7, I was very proud of you.

Engaging Parents in PE

1 Comment
Lornshill Academy, Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Saturday 30thJanuary 2016, 9.30am – 1pm

Education Scotland would like to offer parents/carers an opportunity to develop an understanding of how a high quality physical education (PE) experience supports learning across the curriculum.

The day will demonstrate how this can be extended with a strong home-school partnership.

During the day participants will have the opportunity to hear key messages and attend workshops which exemplify these. There will be the opportunity to engage in conversation with presenters, fellow parents and colleagues.

Aims of the day are for participants to:

  • understand how PE has evolved and recognise the difference between physical education, physical activity and sport*
  • understand the importance of physical education in supporting learning
  • find out how partnerships can be developed between home and school

This event runs from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm.

If you wish to attend you can register on:

We are learning to explain ways of preventing the spreading of diseases.
