On Friday 20th May at our P4-7 Assembly we celebrated all the fabulous Language learning that has been happening at Sciennes, so ably led by Ms Bethan Owen, and thanked our three wonderful Language volunteers, Isabel, Sergio and Miguel, as well as our excellent final year Bilingual Primary Education student, Ana Vidal, from Madrid University. We made suggestions for cultural activities that our children might get involved in over the weekend to celebrate UN World Day for Cultural Diversity on May 21st and were delighted to note so many of our children already take part in similar activities to the ones suggested. We also looked forward to Sciennes Parent Council's exciting International Fair on SATURDAY 4th JUNE 12pm-3pm and found out more about the mysterious yarnbombing phenomenon, which has decorated our playground over night! Next week, each class will contribute to City of Edinburgh's 1+2 Twitter campaign and we used some examples of Tweets already happening this week, to give everyone ideas! We started the day at 8am with a 'Walking Bus' and ended it at 12pm with an ECO Schools Clean Up Campaign. P6 pupils Laura and Arooj explained very clearly and confidently how these two events helped us make a difference in tackling Climate Change (Global Goal 13). Unfortunately we ran out of time to hear from our Sports Captains on the presentations they have created about Olympic Values and Fencing, and the Day for Change count is still ongoing! Another very busy week at Sciennes!

Ms Anstruther accompanied 5 Sciennes Pupil Council members to the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday 14th March and she announced that two of our P2 pupils have won an award for their idea to 'Make a Difference!' They cleverly suggested that school could keep a 'dressing up' box of costumes for pupils to borrow and their idea was awarded £250! Ms Anstruther invited everyone to donate any unused costumes to school to add to the collection for borrowing. We were absolutely delighted when Pattie announced that P6B pupil Asma's poster, highlighting 1 in 5 Child Poverty, has been selected as overall winner and will be used in campaign literature throughout Edinburgh!

Committees will be formed for each of the six groups who will meet with lead teachers throughout the year while the wider body of about sixty pupils in each group will meet together a few times throughout the year. The older children will also work with P1-P3 to seek their views.

Sciennes P4-7 Assembly SDG10 20.1.17
On Friday 20th January we were delighted to welcome back Former Pupils Jamie Underwood, Li-Sian Song and James Stewart, who are now in S6 at James Gillespie's High School and preparing for a visit to twinned schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in February. They have asked pupils to donate pencil cases, toys, games and clothes which can be handed into the School Office until Friday 2nd February.
Mr Howie gave an inspirational presentation on how Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Arkansas Little Rock Nine, successfully managed her emotions and response to the extreme prejudice and racist hostility she endured in 1957, just for going to school. Her remarkable dignity is an example to us all and linked very effectively to school use of 'Emotions Talk' as a support for pupils in managing their emotions. Mr Howie encouraged everyone to learn not only from role models in history but also from people around us in how we manage our emotions and stand up for what we value. We all certainly look to Mr Howie to inspire and encourage us with his engaging and deeply thought-provoking presentations, taking powerful lessons we can all learn from History and relating them to our school.
We thanked Sciennes' parent, Mr Colin Sim, who as well as recently securing £5500 for digital learning through funding applications also secured a grant of £2000 from South Central Edinburgh Neighbourhood Partnership to enhance our school grounds. There is great interest from the children in the willow structures currently being installed in the playground by Gus and his team from 'Earth Calling'.
Sciennes Easter Assembly March 2018
On Thursday 29th March, Headteacher Mrs Alison Noble led the whole school Easter Assembly. Mrs Ruth McVicker played the Sciennes School Song, and it was lovely to be joined by recently retired co-composer Mrs Claire Ford. Stuart Irvin joined us from St Catherine's of Argyll and retold the Easter story. Congratulations to P6 pupils Rory, Isla, Ella and Evie who collected an amazing 310 Easter eggs in their Foodbank Appeal.
Mrs Noble then wished staff well, first thanking Edinburgh University Volunteer Language students Lucas and Tycho for their support this term to classes in Spanish and French and then passing on all our best wishes to Miss Kirsty Gallagher who is getting married in the Easter holidays, to Mrs Emma Kidd who is expecting her new baby soon and to Ms Chantelle Hall who is heading off on new adventures in London.
Mrs Jennie Waters has been an outstanding, devoted and much loved teacher at Sciennes for fourteen years and Mrs Noble spoke for everyone in thanking her sincerely and wishing her well in her new post at Dunbar Primary School. She will be sorely missed but hope she will keep in touch with all her friends at Sciennes.
The special whole school Assembly also marked the retirement of our incomparable and dynamic Business Manager, Ms Angela Christie, who has worked tirelessly throughout her career at Sciennes to provide the best possible experiences and learning for generations of our pupils. Her talents and capabilities are countless and the impact she has had at Sciennes is staggering.
A former Sciennes parent herself, Ms Christie has always worked indefatigably in close partnership with the Friends of Sciennes School Charity Trust and all the many Parent Council subgroups over many years. We were joined at the Assembly by several parent representatives, including Sue Lewis, Emma Kirk and Phoebe Cochrane who presented her with a gift and a banner of messages made in secret by all the pupils.
Mrs Noble and pupil Oscar presented Ms Christie with a beautiful floorbook which Ms Anstruther had arranged to be filled with lovely and creative messages from each class in school. Mrs Noble celebrated some of Ms Christie's outstanding achievements: arranging innovative cycling programmes for P1-P7, promoting sustainability, Active Travel and Spanish, introducing online payments, driving improvements in digital learning, championing outdoor learning and our wonderful playground and ever striving to light the flame of learning in all she does. And all this on top of and far beyond her Business Manager remit, where she also excels! Truly, a Sciennes Legend and thoroughly deserving of now being able to timetable some time for herself. We wish Angela a very happy retirement, with deep love and grateful respect.
After School News, the whole school sang the 'Spring Chicken' song and Mrs Noble wished all our families a safe and happy Easter holiday. School resumes on TUESDAY 17th April.

Our three P3 classes are taking action on SDG1, SDG2 and SDG3 by leading a whole school Harvest Appeal in support of the charity 'Send A Cow to Africa' and a speaker will address both Assemblies next week.
This week, in Scottish Climate Week, P7 have been taking action on SDG13 (Climate Action) by presenting 17 000 consultation responses to the Scottish Government's forthcoming Climate Bill with Stop Climate Chaos Scotland and Friends of the Earth. Eco Schools Scotland invited Faye, Sorley and Lucy to participate as a direct result of P7A's work on air pollution last year with Mr Hutchison, Mr McKenna, Ms Christie and SEPA. The pupils cycled to Parliament from school to hand over the responses to Roseanna Cunningham, Cabinet Secretary for the Environment.
Newly elected P6 Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) Lyall, Essie and Anna shared details about their invitation to a training session at City Chambers, designed to support them in their lead role this year. Lyall explained that there had been workshops and one was on air quality, as a direct result of P7A's involvement with SEPA last year. Essie updated everyone on the Hands Up Scotland Travel Survey they organised and that baseline information has been added to our Living Streets Travel Tracker. Anna shared that the JRSOs will work with classes to help them use the Travel Tracker again this year to track active travel.
Supporting the world's plan for sustainable development using the Global Goals will help us all stand up for rights and P7C pupils this week articulately explained their understanding of the UNCRC to the Minister for Young People, Mark MacDonald, at a special celebratory event arranged by Together Scotland. Many thanks to Juliet Harris and Liz Millerfield for organising a very special 'picnic' lunch for the children, in recognition of all their hard work with artists Joanna, Yonnie and Lyver in creating fabulous UNCRC artwork on panels destined for the Scottish Parliament.
There was recognition for Ms MacKintosh in successfully leading engagement with Maths Week Scotland and for Ms Christie in leading a uniquely innovative and adventurous programme of cycling for P6.
P4A showed their wonderful 'Resilience Role Model' posters and Anjalie in P4 was also congratulated on her terrific Mindset poster.
We reminded pupils that to stay safe they should come back into the School Office if the person coming to pick them up is delayed.
We look forward to hearing pupils' ideas for making a difference, at Sciennes, in the local community and beyond.

Why educational field trips are good
Educational field trips provide students opportunities to learn outside the classroom in fun and engaging ways about history, science, art, and the world. To fund the trips, the document proposes holding fundraisers like bake sales, dances, and car washes involving students, parents, and the community. Organizing field trips would benefit students by allowing socialization with friends while learning, and teachers by providing a break from routine classroom duties. The trips could count for half of students' grades in some classes and help those struggling academically. Potential destinations include museums of art, science, and the sea, as well as art galleries, with a fun end-of-year trip proposed.

We all certainly look to Mr Howie to inspire and encourage us with his engaging and deeply thought-provoking presentations, taking powerful lessons we can all learn from History and relating them to our school.
We thanked Sciennes' parent, Mr Colin Sim, who as well as recently securing £5500 for digital learning through funding applications also secured a grant of £2000 from South Central Edinburgh Neighbourhood Partnership to enhance our school grounds. There is great interest from the children in the willow structures currently being installed in the playground by Gus and his team from 'Earth Calling'.
Sciennes Easter Assembly March 2018
On Thursday 29th March, Headteacher Mrs Alison Noble led the whole school Easter Assembly. Mrs Ruth McVicker played the Sciennes School Song, and it was lovely to be joined by recently retired co-composer Mrs Claire Ford. Stuart Irvin joined us from St Catherine's of Argyll and retold the Easter story. Congratulations to P6 pupils Rory, Isla, Ella and Evie who collected an amazing 310 Easter eggs in their Foodbank Appeal.
Mrs Noble then wished staff well, first thanking Edinburgh University Volunteer Language students Lucas and Tycho for their support this term to classes in Spanish and French and then passing on all our best wishes to Miss Kirsty Gallagher who is getting married in the Easter holidays, to Mrs Emma Kidd who is expecting her new baby soon and to Ms Chantelle Hall who is heading off on new adventures in London.
Mrs Jennie Waters has been an outstanding, devoted and much loved teacher at Sciennes for fourteen years and Mrs Noble spoke for everyone in thanking her sincerely and wishing her well in her new post at Dunbar Primary School. She will be sorely missed but hope she will keep in touch with all her friends at Sciennes.
The special whole school Assembly also marked the retirement of our incomparable and dynamic Business Manager, Ms Angela Christie, who has worked tirelessly throughout her career at Sciennes to provide the best possible experiences and learning for generations of our pupils. Her talents and capabilities are countless and the impact she has had at Sciennes is staggering.
A former Sciennes parent herself, Ms Christie has always worked indefatigably in close partnership with the Friends of Sciennes School Charity Trust and all the many Parent Council subgroups over many years. We were joined at the Assembly by several parent representatives, including Sue Lewis, Emma Kirk and Phoebe Cochrane who presented her with a gift and a banner of messages made in secret by all the pupils.
Mrs Noble and pupil Oscar presented Ms Christie with a beautiful floorbook which Ms Anstruther had arranged to be filled with lovely and creative messages from each class in school. Mrs Noble celebrated some of Ms Christie's outstanding achievements: arranging innovative cycling programmes for P1-P7, promoting sustainability, Active Travel and Spanish, introducing online payments, driving improvements in digital learning, championing outdoor learning and our wonderful playground and ever striving to light the flame of learning in all she does. And all this on top of and far beyond her Business Manager remit, where she also excels! Truly, a Sciennes Legend and thoroughly deserving of now being able to timetable some time for herself. We wish Angela a very happy retirement, with deep love and grateful respect.
After School News, the whole school sang the 'Spring Chicken' song and Mrs Noble wished all our families a safe and happy Easter holiday. School resumes on TUESDAY 17th April.

Our three P3 classes are taking action on SDG1, SDG2 and SDG3 by leading a whole school Harvest Appeal in support of the charity 'Send A Cow to Africa' and a speaker will address both Assemblies next week.
This week, in Scottish Climate Week, P7 have been taking action on SDG13 (Climate Action) by presenting 17 000 consultation responses to the Scottish Government's forthcoming Climate Bill with Stop Climate Chaos Scotland and Friends of the Earth. Eco Schools Scotland invited Faye, Sorley and Lucy to participate as a direct result of P7A's work on air pollution last year with Mr Hutchison, Mr McKenna, Ms Christie and SEPA. The pupils cycled to Parliament from school to hand over the responses to Roseanna Cunningham, Cabinet Secretary for the Environment.
Newly elected P6 Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) Lyall, Essie and Anna shared details about their invitation to a training session at City Chambers, designed to support them in their lead role this year. Lyall explained that there had been workshops and one was on air quality, as a direct result of P7A's involvement with SEPA last year. Essie updated everyone on the Hands Up Scotland Travel Survey they organised and that baseline information has been added to our Living Streets Travel Tracker. Anna shared that the JRSOs will work with classes to help them use the Travel Tracker again this year to track active travel.
Supporting the world's plan for sustainable development using the Global Goals will help us all stand up for rights and P7C pupils this week articulately explained their understanding of the UNCRC to the Minister for Young People, Mark MacDonald, at a special celebratory event arranged by Together Scotland. Many thanks to Juliet Harris and Liz Millerfield for organising a very special 'picnic' lunch for the children, in recognition of all their hard work with artists Joanna, Yonnie and Lyver in creating fabulous UNCRC artwork on panels destined for the Scottish Parliament.
There was recognition for Ms MacKintosh in successfully leading engagement with Maths Week Scotland and for Ms Christie in leading a uniquely innovative and adventurous programme of cycling for P6.
P4A showed their wonderful 'Resilience Role Model' posters and Anjalie in P4 was also congratulated on her terrific Mindset poster.
We reminded pupils that to stay safe they should come back into the School Office if the person coming to pick them up is delayed.
We look forward to hearing pupils' ideas for making a difference, at Sciennes, in the local community and beyond.

Why educational field trips are good
Educational field trips provide students opportunities to learn outside the classroom in fun and engaging ways about history, science, art, and the world. To fund the trips, the document proposes holding fundraisers like bake sales, dances, and car washes involving students, parents, and the community. Organizing field trips would benefit students by allowing socialization with friends while learning, and teachers by providing a break from routine classroom duties. The trips could count for half of students' grades in some classes and help those struggling academically. Potential destinations include museums of art, science, and the sea, as well as art galleries, with a fun end-of-year trip proposed.

Patrick Monahan at Sciennes Primary P4-7 Assembly
What a wonderful start to the new session to welcome celebrated and legendary comedian Patrick Monahan to the P4-7 Assembly on Friday 19th August. Patrick inspired our pupils with his sparkling tales about his own experiences of running and then joined most of the upper school for a Daily Mile run in the Meadows.
It was joyful to hear the children's laughter in Assembly. Patrick had them in the palm of his hand in the Hall and also later in the Meadows where he led a warm up session before the run. We are so grateful to him for giving up his time to inspire our pupils to be all they can be and to Believe they can Achieve. Thank you also to former Pupil Support Assistant, Rachel Inglis, who contacted Patrick for us and joined us for the morning.

Sciennes Roald Dahl at 100 P4-7 Assembly 9.9.16
On Friday 9th September at the P4-7 Assembly we celebrated Roald Dahl's life, work and world of pure imagination, ahead of the forthcoming celebrations to mark the centenary of his birth on 13th September. Roald Dahl faced many challenges in his life. He would not have recognised the phrase 'growth mindset' but our children do, thanks to the work of our Infant Depute Headteacher, Ms Carolyn Anstruther and Class Teachers. Dahl's resilience to change, his hard work and perseverance are reflected in his life story and also in his success. "I can't do it YET!" and seeing the positives in making mistakes are attitudes we are trying to cultivate in our learners. We listened to "Up Grow the Roses" from the Dahl screenplay for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" with its positive messages about learning from failures and to try, try again. We also asked the children which Dahl books they have 'not read YET'.
We are keen to encourage all Sciennes' pupils to join their local library as we continue to promote a love of Reading in our school and at home. P4-7 teachers have signed up their classes for The First Minister's Reading Challenge later this term and Ms Wendy French has been running her own 'Go For Gold' Reading Challenge in P5C since August. Eliza and Jaimee told everyone at Assembly what was involved. Pupils who read five books gain a Bronze Award, ten books brings a Silver Award and already many P5C pupils have been awarded with a Gold Medal and certificate for reading fifteen books!
We wished Happy Eid to all families celebrating and reminded everyone that MONDAY 19th SEPTEMBER is a holiday.
Pupil Council elections take place on Monday 12th September, with the results being announced on Thursday 15th September (International Day of Democracy).

We celebrated Sciennes' parent, Mr Colin Sim, who took action to make a huge difference to learning and teaching for our pupils by submitting two grant funding applications for the school.

Sciennes Citizenship P4-7 Assembly 27.1.17
On Friday 27th January our Assembly theme was Citizenship with a particular focus on our Pupil Eco Group's recent and planned actions in school. We were delighted to welcome Kirstin Unger from the Parent Eco Group, who works so hard to improve our school grounds, planting with pupils and greening our playground so beautifully. Kirstin explained very clearly and engagingly how to take part in the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch at the weekend. We look forward to hearing how many pupils took part and which birds were spotted.
The Pupil Eco Group agreed with Kirstin's suggestion at a recent joint Parent and Pupil Eco Group meeting to organise regular collections for loose play. Michael and Catie encouraged everyone to bring in pine cones next week. Faye encouraged classes to use the online Travel Tracker to record journeys to school and Ali reminded P6C that his class is on Litter Duty next week. We were excited to announce that Sciennes is one of ten schools to be selected for a new Eco Schools eTwinning project and we will find out more next month.

President Obama has encouraged the next generation to 'take up the mic' through his Obama Foundation and we are encouraging pupils to get involved in Red Nose Day by 'saying something funny for money.' We are mindful of our 1 in 5 Child Poverty Awareness project and so pupils need only bring a donation if they wish, rather than be sponsored. Pupils will be asked to share a joke, funny story, rhyme, poem or drawing with their class as part of our whole school Comedy Festival later in the month and we are looking forward to encouraging their confidence in performance and their Listening and Talking skills in a fun way. P7 pupils will soon be selling red noses in school and our P7 Comedy Book launches on 17th March. Please respond to the email you will shorty receive to place advance orders by 8th March, ahead of printing dates. Sciennes' parent Richard Melvin, comedian and compere at The Stand, has very kindly offered to provide comedy workshops for P6 pupils and we continue to use the BBC and Blue Peter resource "Comedy Classroom" to develop literacy skills through comedy. We are learning the new Red Nose Day song for Comic Relief and everyone who takes part in our Comedy Festival will receive a certificate.
P5 pupil Cole blew everyone away with his outstanding street dance skills and he gained deserved applause for his confident performance. We congratulated pupils on many recent achievements.

At the P4-7 Assembly on Friday 8th March 2019 (International Women's Day) we looked at the UN and MUN and listened to a powerful speech on the environment, given by 12 year old Severn Suzuki in 1992. Severn's speech still has a powerful impact today and all the children were visibly entranced and moved by her words. As on the day she gave the speech at the UN Environment Confernence in Rio, you could hear a pin drop in the Hall. Severn was a trailblazer in empowering young people to use their voice and P5B were commended on their End Child Labour campaign. Charlie and Sophie spoke about their involvement in the Children's Climate protests at Parliament and we informed pupils how they can be involved without missing school on Friday 15th March by taking part in the afternoon at the planned Southside Primary Schools Climate March on Parliament.

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 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!
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 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!
Sciennes Easter Assembly 2021
Stuart Irvin, the Minister from St Catherine’s Argyll Church joined us on Thursday 1 April 2021 for the live broadcast of our Easter Assemblies to P1-3 pupils and then to P4-P7 pupils. 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.

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 Learner Participation 13.9.2019
The document provides information about upcoming events and activities at a school. It includes details about house participation groups, learning at home, literacy activities, sharing learning, outdoor learning challenges, swimming lessons, basketball clubs, rights charters, and select squad trials. It also features lyrics to songs about resilience.
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
Once a year we all come together in the Hall - twenty two classes from Primary 1 to Primary 7 - for our End of Year Assembly, led for the first time this year by Headteacher Mr Andrew Hunter.
A particularly busy year at Sciennes Primary School has seen significant improvements to facilties and we are grateful that everyone in the community has supported one another to manage the challenges of extensive builiding works. Very well done to our pupils, staff and families for all their efforts, working so hard together to make 2018-2019 such a successful year, rounded off with a stunning musical "The Adventures of Super Stan" by our marvellous Primary Seven.
