The Risk Factory

Primary Seven pupils went on a trip on Wednesday 25th May to The Risk Factory to develop skills in identifying risks and to learn strategies to avoid them.  The pupils had lots of fun taking part in the different scenarios, with many pupils declaring it was the best trip ever! Their emotions and common sense attitudes were challenged, with many having to learn serious consequences for their actions! We can’t reveal too much information or show photos about the scenarios because it would spoil the fun for next year’s Primary Six!

Africa

We started our new topic this week by focusing on the range of climates in Africa. The pupils paired up and used their research skills to learn about about typical features of a desert, rainforest, savannah or shrub land. We also used pastels and pens to create fantastic tribal art work based on the Ndebele people of Zimbabwe. The Ndebele tribe paint colourful geometric symbols on their houses and walls.

French Transition – Story Telling Project

The Primary Seven have been busy working in groups to write and rehearse the telling of fairy tales in French. We are hoping to record them next week and send them up the Academy as part of our transition work.
