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.

Among the best percussionists in Scotland.

Glennie taught the teacher how to feel

one among the best in her profession.

Why did I choose Glennie?
I am a musician myself, and I have had it drilled in to me that you play music with your ears. Glennie lost
her hearing but still managed to become an amazing percussionist! To me this is really surprising. It
taught me that I can become anything if I put my mind to it.
