This week as part of our learning through rights we discussed how to protect the local environment. We took part in a whole school anti-litter poster competition. We were excited to share our ideas and opinions.

Article 12 – respect for the views of the child Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.

Article 13 –  Every child must be free to express their thoughts and opinions and to access all kinds of information, as long as it’s it is within the law.

Article 24 – Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.

Climate Smarter (Science) – This week we found out more about Solar Energy and next week we will be carrying out experiments using small solar panels.

All four Enterprise Groups have planned, designed and located the resources to start creating their first product on Monday.  Today during outdoor learning we collected a lot of twigs as it is a key part of some of the products being created.

We wrote Halloween themed sense poems

In Math we have been using coins and notes to show our understanding of money and showing the correct change. This will be a very important skill to have when selling their products during the Enterprise Sale.  Also in Math we are continusing to learn how to use protractors more accurately to measure angles.

Today both P5 classes attended the Hockey Festival at Deans High School. It was cold and rainy but everyone had fun. A few children said ‘scoring’ was the best part, others said it was when ‘their team won’ But Ashley said just playing with everyone was her best part.

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
