Anti-bullying, perfect posters October 9, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P4, P6 , 1 comment so farYesterday P4B and P6B came together once again to create their final competition poster. There was paint, paper, feathers, glue and lots of discussion. The biggest challenge was the time element. With only one hour to complete the task the pressure was on.
Most of the teams managed to complete their poster with seconds to spare, others didn’t quite make it. But great fun was had by all and everyone felt proud of what they had achieved. The finished posters will be sent off tomorrow to be judged in the national competition. The top prize is MP3 players so we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
It’s been a great start to our collaborative anti-bullying project, and super for everyone to get to know each other. Thanks to everyone for all their enthusiasm and hard work.

Anti Bullying Competition Work October 7, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P4, P6, Uncategorized , 1 comment so farToday saw the start of a beautiful friendship between P4b and P6b! Our classes came together to start work on the theme of bullying.
National Anti-Bullying Week 2008 is 17 - 23 November, and the website respectme and the Scottish Government have joined forces to launch an anti-bullying competition, based around the theme, ‘what bullying means to me’.
The children from P4 and P6 have started working on entries for this competition today. Each P4 is working with a P6 partner, and we started by sharing ideas about what forms bullying can take. The poster that the P6s designed last year came in really handy as it gave us the categories of Physical, Verbal, Emotional and Cyberbullying. We also discussed how these types of bullying make a person feel inside. This helped us to brainstorm ideas for what bullying means to us, and then how we can show that in a poster for the competition.
Listening to Learn - Learning to Listen October 7, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : Uncategorized , add a commentIn Campie this year we are all working on our listening skills, as you will have seen from the wonderful leaflets that the children designed and sent home. The whole school is involved and will be learning to listen in different ways all year.
For example, P6b have been focusing on listening to people in conversation. We came up with guidelines for good listening in conversations and practiced them in talking partners.
Lagganlia Update October 6, 2008

We have had a great day and everybody is buzzing and looking forward to the rest of the week. The journey was long- we arrived at 1.01pm, but well worth it. The trip on the bus was a smooth one, hardly anybody felt ill.
On arrival groups were quickly out and about doing their one activity of the afternoon - mountain biking, orienteering, ropes course and tree climbing. After that the children made their own beds, although some are still to be made!
Everyone has been fed, tonights menu was lentil soup, pasta bolognaise and chocolate crispy cake (double cream optional). currently the children are out in the woods kitted out in helmets and goggles doing the nightline course.
Tomorrow I will get some children to write and hopefully we will have some photos of them in action.
A New Topic for P6 September 26, 2008

P6b will be posting news and images of project work on their website (you can find us on the Class Blogs links), and P6a will do the same once their blog is up and running!
P3 Golden Challenge Day September 23, 2008
Posted by kcolver in : P3, Uncategorized , 3commentsWe had an interesting Golden Challenge day in Primary Three. We all began our day with a physical challenge that involved doing as many star jumps, hops on the left foot and then the right foot and bunny hops as we could in 30 seconds. It was much harder than it sounds!! We had to note how many we managed in each category and then in the afternoon our challenge was to beat our own record.
Each teacher prepared a different challenge and the three classes went round each challenge.
- Challenge 1 - the dessert challenge - was to work collaboratively to design a special birthday dessert. The children had to work in groups of 3, 4 or 5 ensuring that their new dessert included at least one ingredient from everyone’s favourite dessert. They then had to make a collage of the new dessert with everyone making a part of it.
- Challenge 2 - the story telling challenge- also involved working in a group. Each group was given several props or visual aids. They then had to use these to develop a story and then tell the story to the other groups. This was very tricky as some children were shy about talking in front of an audience but the rest of the group tried hard to lend their support and encouragement.
- Challenge 3 - the decision making challenge - was to make joint decisions about resources needed for a variety of projects. Children had to give opinions and justify their positions in order to come to a consensus. This was a challenge which taught the children a lot about working together.
We ended the day with some singing. We chose to sing the Fischy Music song “Why?” and we talked about some of the difficult questions it raised. We came to the conclusion that there can be more than one answer to a problem and that some questions are very difficult to answer. We really enjoyed challenging ourselves and we are looking forward to many more challenges in the year ahead.
