Sciennes Clean Air Day 18.6.2021
Due to staff absence, this week’s Assembly on Friday 18 June was emailed to classes. The focus was on Clean Air Day and marked five years of Sciennes’ support for the campaign. We had been pencilled in for a visit from the new Environment Minister, Mairi McAllan, yesterday but unfortunately she had conflicting engagements. Our P7 Captains were presented with a Clean Air Day bag from John Bynorth at Environmental Protection Scotland as a thank you for their contribution to the successful campaign launch in May. Mr Hutchison’s P4A class received colouring books in recognition of his support since we launched the first Clean Air Day at Sciennes with former Environment Minister Roseanne Cunningham. The children have campaigned for clean air in surrounding streets and for closure of Sciennes Road outside the school through the Living Streets initiative, as well as learning about how air pollution can affect everyone’s health both here and abroad. P3 pupils Poppy, Makeda and Ella gave a presentation on how they are helping the Homeless and how they want to change the world!

CT-B Green School Challenge-CG
Cibolo Green Elementary School in San Antonio, Texas participated in the 2013-2014 Green Schools Challenge. The school is one of the first "green" schools in the area and was built with a focus on sustainability. As part of the challenge, students investigated indoor air quality by placing particle collectors around the school for two weeks. They found that outdoor air and areas with more activity like the gym storage had higher particle levels. The project helped educate students on how to improve air quality.
UCC Library – maintaining momentum
UCC Library began its sustainability initiative in 2016. Since then, it has implemented an award-winning sustainability campaign. Through its ‘Love our Library’ campaign UCC Library succeeded in reducing its energy and water consumption, increased recycling rates and reduced waste. It has made strides in sustainable transport and active travel. UCC Library has been a lever for change within the UCC community and has been the model for sustainability initiatives within UCC.
UCC library is advancing its sustainability goals by refocusing its sustainability campaign with new initiatives. Changes taking place within the wider UCC community mean that the library can now switch its focus, from some if the immediate issues, to more long-term goals. In a post lockdown world, new challenges have arisen, air quality within the library building has become an issue in a transmission cautious world, with increased air flow come increased heating costs. Other pressures within society have increased pressures on the library infrastructure and the wider University community.
This presentation will outline the steps UCC library took to achieve its initial successes and the lessons learned along the way. It will discuss the post pandemic environment and how UCC Library intends to refocus its campaign to maintain momentum and develop a culture of sustainability within the library community.
Eco-Friendly Quiz-28.6.2020
This document is an announcement for an eco-friendly special quiz being conducted by Partha Gupta on his Facebook page. It provides details such as the date, time, and Facebook link for the online quiz. It encourages participants to answer the 10 questions as early as possible. The quiz aims to promote environmental awareness through questions related to sustainability initiatives, climate change, and eco-friendly innovations.
Sciennes SDGs 11.6.21
On Friday 11 June 2021 we focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how our ECO Team is working to support these goals in school. P6C had a chance to hold their own United Nations session this week, role playing and debating to help them understand how representatives from 193 member states across the globe are working together to tackle poverty, reduce inequalities and tackle climate change. P6C came up with some amazing ideas to support refugees and help countries deal with COVID-19.
This year, our ECO Team has been focusing on three main topics: Litter, Life Below Water and Climate Action. P4 reps are currently following up on their recent fact-finding mission with Mr Scott. They have decided to make signs to help us all recycle using the correct bags and bins. Today, P7 Rosa Mellanby gave a rousing call to action in reducing single use plastic (which can end up in the oceans). She asked everyone to boycott plastic straws – in school and at home. P6 pupils Ellie Napier, Vatanda McColl and Gracie Kirk prepared a presentation on Palm Oil. Vatanda was absent today so Ellie and Gracie broadcast live at both Assemblies. They were so knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about raising awareness of the problems of palm oil use and making suggestions for change. Thank you to all our ECO Reps for working so hard this year with Miss Wittland and Ms Gallagher and thank you to Ellie, Grace and Rosa for presenting so well today.
Sciennes Alan Turing Assembly 14.5.21
On Friday 14 May 2021 our Assemblies focused on Alan Turing, not only to raise awareness about his inspirational achievements as the father of the modern computer and the role he played in cracking the Enigma machine code during the Second World War (hastening its end and thereby saving millions of lives) but also to raise awareness of LGBT+ Equalities.

Sciennes Deaf Awareness week 7.5.21
On Friday 7 May 2021 our Assemblies focused on Deaf Awareness Week and we are extremely grateful to parent Aicha Reid for providing signing videos which we have used in class each day. Our P4 and P7 Equalities Advisors produced their own signing videos to share at Assembly. Unfortunately, we experienced technical difficulties which forced us to abandon the live P1-3 Assembly broadcast which was hugely disappointing. We managed to get operational for the P4-7 Assembly and gave some information about deafness and hearing impairment and shared the story of Helen Keller’s life and amazing achievements. We will broadcast the Assembly to P1-3 on Monday and will first make sure all is working well in cyberland!
Sciennes Participate and Lead Assembly 30.4.21
On Friday 30 April 2021 both our Assemblies focused on pupils and our school community not only participating but also taking the lead.

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!

Stuart told the story of Maundy Thursday and Mr Hunter focused on Spring and Spring cleaning! Our three P4 ECO Reps, Stanley, Abby and Sara, demonstrated their interviewing skills by asking Mr Neil Scott (our janitor) about Recycling at Sciennes and how we can all help make it better. Mr Scott asked them for their ideas on reducing, reusing and recycling. What are yours? Tell your ECO Rep. Thank you to both of our wonderful janitors Mr Scott and Mr Reid for working so hard for all of us, recycling 400 milk cartons as well as paper and card every single day. Mr Hunter read “Sonny’s Wonderful Wellies” by Lisa Stubbs to P1-P3.

Today it is an international programme, recognising young people's personal achievements. Pupils can gain Bronze in P6 and Silver in P7 (with Gold achievable by the end of S2). All our pupils attending Lagganlia next week will gain accreditation for one quarter of the award, the 'Adventure' element.

This was the last week for sharing Resilience Role Model posters and Ms Gallagher was genuinely touched that a group of P4C girls made a lovely poster about her! Heather’s poster about her Grandad, Anaya’s about her Dad and Anjalie’s poster about Evelyn Glennie were really well presented as well.

We have had a few technical issues in some classes but we are getting better at everyone being online together.

Sciennes Junior Award Scheme for Schools 4.10.2019
On Friday 4th October 2019, we launched our Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) for P6 and P7 pupils. JASS is a Duke of Edinburgh style award for 10-14 year olds and stemmed from an original idea by Sciennes staff! Today it is an international programme, recognising young people's personal achievements. Pupils can gain Bronze in P6 and Silver in P7 (with Gold achievable by the end of S2). All our pupils attending Lagganlia next week will gain accreditation for one quarter of the award, the 'Adventure' element. P7A Lauder pupils shared their memories of Benmore and what they are looking forward to at Lagganlia.
P3 pupils gave a presentation on their Harvest Appeal for Foodbank and reminded everyone that donations can be handed in to Class Teachers until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come and collect. Local Minister Stuart Irvin from St Catherine's of Argyll and a representative from Foodbank will join us for a Harvest Assembly next Friday.
Elika in P5 shared her amazing experience at the launch of the Sir David Attenborough Polar Research Vessel and P7 Rebecca announced this year's ECO Reps. It was a very difficult choice with over 150 out of 375 pupils showing interest in the 12 P4-P7 places. An indication of how important environmental issues are to our young people. Congratulations to Elizabeth who retains her World Stone Skimming Champion title and to all the girls who performed in an amazing ballet production of Cinderella by the Grange School of Ballet at the Churchill Theatre. P7A Lauder pupils led the singing superbly this week!
Sciennes #iwill 27.9.2019
On Friday 27th September 2019, P6 pupils Serena, Lexia, Sofia and Bella confidently shared their experiences presenting at the Scottish Learning Festival on Wednesday 25th September with Jenni Snell (Youthlink Scotland) and Rachael Hatfield (MSYP).
Pupils from Grange in P7A capably took their turn in presenting the P4-7 Assembly and in leading the singing. P3A pupils Laura and Michael were roundly applauded for their clear and confident launch of this year’s P3 led Harvest Appeal for Foodbank. Non-perishable food items can be handed into class from Monday until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come to classes to collect.
To celebrate the fourth anniversary of the launch of the UN Global Goals (which have their base in human rights) we watched a video - “Just A Kid” - and invited pupils to keep thinking about how they might make a difference to others this year.
This was the last week for sharing Resilience Role Model posters and Ms Gallagher was genuinely touched that a group of P4C girls made a lovely poster about her! Heather’s poster about her Grandad, Anaya’s about her Dad and Anjalie’s poster about Evelyn Glennie were really well presented as well.

Sciennes Values 23.8.19
On Friday 23rd August we revisited our School Values of Respect, Inclusion, Teamwork and Effort and gave reminders of our school rules.
Our dear and wonderful friend, comedian Patrick Monahan, had hoped to be able to join us briefly at Assembly but his schedule was extremely busy. One of the UK's hardest working and talented comedians, we wish him well and thank him for kindly thinking of us. Act quickly try to catch his show #goals at the Gilded Balloon at 8pm this weekend!
Great to welcome P4 to their first upper school Assembly and Mr Hunter encouraged everyone to show respect for all the major improvements to school property.
Pupils were reminded to share their achievements with us so we can share them at future assemblies.
Mr Hunter asked pupils to remind families about the road closure at drop off and pick up times. We look forward to our first Cycle to School Day of the year next Friday 30th August and thank P7 Class Teacher Miss McGrouther for organising.
Sciennes End of Term Assembly 2019

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

I asked for the school’s handheld air quality monitor because the route I walk to school could be polluted and it could be interesting to find out about it. When we were on camp at Lagganlia Outdoor Education Centre we found old man’s beard [lichen]. It only grows in the cleanest of air. The lichens and mosses we found on the Meadows were pollution loving. I took the monitor to Lagganlia to compare the air there with Edinburgh.” BEN P7
