P3/4S 2015-2015

Term 3 Catch Up!

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).

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’!

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.
