This week we began creating our first Enterprise Products. With good planning last week we were ready to start cutting, sawing and sewing. We celebrated the Feast of All Saints at mass on Wednesday Morning. It was a lovely service which we all enjoyed. We made a very good start on Monday and continued working on our products on Wednesday after morning break.
This week we have continued our learning through rights with more research into Black History Month. We created information files about well known black women. These women are famous sports women, politicians, tv presenters, scientists. We found out that they overcame discrimination, language barriers and learning difficulties to become succesful in the work they are doing now as adults. We discussed our own identity – Who a person is or feels they are. Some felt Scot/Irish, some felt Scots/English some felt Scots/Cornish. We recognised that everyone has ancestors – A person who was in someone’s family in the past that has helped shape their identity and culture.
Article 2 -The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background. Article 30 – Every child has the right to learn and use the language, customs and religion of their family, whether or not these are shared by the majority of the people in the country where they live.
Tuesday was very exciting, not just because it was Halloween and most of us came to school dressed up, but Mrs Morrison brought our recorders and we had our first practise. We are really keen to learn a Christmas tune for our Christmas Enterprise Show on the 15th of December.
We created lovely Halloween spooky house art using pastels and black paper.
On Thursday and Friday we explored Solar Power through a range of experiments.
This morning Primary 7 House Captains and Vice House Captains led our House Groups to review our School Values. They wanted to know which values our pupils thought were the most important for our school community. We love the things we value and we value the things we love. All the results will be collated and we will all be informed as soon as possible.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
