Primary 7/6 Big Talk Task for Thursday 6th October 2016:

I would like you to talk about what you would do if you were given 3 wishes. What would your wishes be and what would your reasons be for choosing those particular wishes? (Please note that one of your wishes cannot be for more wishes!)

Ask an adult at home what they would wish for and why!

Be ready to talk about this next week.

Thanks.

Blissful day at BLES

Leave a comment

Our final groups of P7 pupils from Murrayfield and Blackburn Primaries had a chance to join in the fun at BLES today. They were given the opportunity to learn skills for life under the expert guidance of the BLES team. Over the course of the day, within their groups, they: recreated a mural to replicate one put together by Blackburn’s 3 primary schools a few years ago as part of CAB transition work; learned joinery skills and were helped to use a range of manual and power tools to build their own bird house which they were allowed to take home; found about electrical sources, fuses, fuse boxes and electrical supplies and then learned how to wire a plug and strip wires. All of our children had the most amazing experience and learned skills which they will be able to take forward in a wide range of practical situations throughout their lives. Lynne Wishart from BLES told us that the staff were all really impressed by the children’s enthusiasm and behaviour over the 3 day period and that working with them had been like a breath of fresh air. We are really proud of all our pupils and would like to thank all of the wonderful staff at BLES and those who have sponsored this project for giving us this unique opportunity. It was a wonderful experience.

What a terrific night and thank you to all of our Rookie Rockstars. You were amazing!
