FAIRTRADE
Basilio Almonte de Los Santos, from Conacado Cocoa Company, Dominican Republic came to tell P3/4S about Fairtrade. Basilio helped us understand the difference we can make to the lives of hard working people if we spend a little more on Fairtrade products. Basilio was very impressed with our questions and we enjoyed hearing him answering them in Spanish!
We took our learning of how tall a
Cocoa Tree grows outside!
ACTIVE SCHOOLS FOOTBALL TRAINING
We have enjoyed our time with Ewan
from Active Schools and the P3’s will have the opportunity to put all their
football skills into practice when they attend the Fun Fours Festival on the
Friday 17th April at Papdale Primary School.
“The developmental 4 v 4’s format is a
great opportunity for girls & boys to participate in the game of football
in a fun and enjoyable environment irrespective of their abilities.
Participants will receive coaching and play four a-side games. For the four
a-side games schools will be randomly mixed up. Each group will have the
opportunity to play games and receive coaching from Scottish Football Association
(SFA) qualified coaches” (Active Schools).

FUDGE FACTORY VISIT
We had a

about the history of the factory, jobs people do in the factory, how the fudge
is made… and thanks to Jenna’s kindness, how delicious Orkney Fudge tastes!
ROLE PLAY FUN IN OUR OWN FUDGE FACTORY!
GRUFFALO SCOT'S LANGUAGE EVENT
We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to attend this exciting opportunity to listen to Orcadian dialect through the
context of the wonderful story of ‘The Gruffalo’!
Into Film and Education Scotland collaborated to bring together this
event where the popular animation film of The Gruffalo was screened before
being read in Orkney dialect by Alison Millar.
We took part in a Q&A session and an educational activity relating
to the language used.
This event was a taster of a new educational resource currently being
developed by Into Film due to be launched in May 2015.
