On Friday 30 April 2021 both our Assemblies focused on pupils and our school community not only participating but also taking the lead. We celebrated the Friends of Sciennes School’ Seven Hills Challenge and shared details of how many pupils took part. It was wonderful to see so many of our families taking to the hills! We showed a slideshow of happy, smiling children enjoying days out across the city. Mr Armstrong and our Digital Leaders shared how they have been supporting teachers and pupils with using technologies for teaching and learning. Well done Eve Buckeridge and Kathleen Hunt who under their ‘own steam’ decided to clear up rubbish at Portobello beach on Saturday followed by a Bake Sale for World Wildlife Fund & raised over £25! We are so very proud of them! Congratulations to P5 pupil Rosemary Reid who received a Green Pencil Award with her poem “Nature in Lockdown.” All the children watched a video of her reciting her winning poem at Assembly. Well done, Rosemary!
