This morning, P6/7D took part in a thought-provoking workshop led by John from the NSPCC. John and Miss MacDonald were both impressed by the pupils’ good listening skills and mature contributions to the discussions about abuse, neglect and different forms of bullying.
P6/7D will be doing more work on bullying next week and during January.
Thank you so much to all our parents & volunteers who gave up their time to come into school & be interviewed by P6/7 pupils as part of our World Of Work fortnight. All pupils have worked collaboratively to research their chosen STEAM career and created questions to use in their interview. After taking notes during the interview, pupils will then work on their own to create a digital presentation of their findings looking at skills used in their chosen careers. This week we have interviewed marine scientists, engineers, an optician, dental technologist, nurse, forester, STEM development manager, food safety officer, sustainable textile producer & designer, woodland manager and electrician! More photos to follow next week. World of work fortnight has been a great success!
On Wednesday morning, pupils in P5, P6 and P7 attended workshops with Jennifer Murdoch, our local Highlife Highland Network Librarian.
She helped the children to consider the reliability of different sources, using the example of a fictitious website about an island for dogs. As the pupils read more deeply, they realised that all was not as it seemed!
We managed to take a quick picture of Jennifer at lunchtime, before she left to visit another school.
Jennifer will be back with us in the new year, to look at encyclopedias online.
P6/7D are making a collection for Highland Foodbank next week. We would be grateful if you were able to bring in any of the items listed below. We will drop off our collection on Thursday afternoon.
Thank you for your support!

P6/7D looking festive this Friday!
Just a reminder that it’s the P4-7 Christmas Party on Monday afternoon. Children are welcome to bring party clothes which they can change into at lunchtime.
Don’t forget it is Festive Friday tomorrow and you can come to school wearing your Christmas jumper. I can’t wait to see everyone looking all Christmassy!
A reminder that children should bring in their homework ‘books’ to share with their classes next week – Monday, 17th. I’m looking forward to reading all our budding author’s work. The sheet relating to this can be found in Newsletters section.
