Vocabulary terms like techniques, specially, struggle, and worthwhile are defined with examples related to sports, games, climbing, and schoolwork. Additional vocabulary words such as traction, agile, spectator, and competitive are also introduced with short context sentences. Readers are prompted to think of their own examples and
On Friday 31st August 2018 we introduced pupils to the latest CEC HWB programme topic "Respect Yourself."
This topic fits very well with our whole school 'All About Me' topic from P1-P7 where pupils, parents and teachers at the start of the new session share and find out about each pupil's uniqueness and strengths. Pupils have been invited to share topic work and family learning tasks at next week's Assembly.
At Sciennes, we have been reviewing our Positive Behaviour Policy to take account of recent research, particularly Paul Dix's book "When The Adults Change, Everything Changes." Following consultation with pupils, we have decided to stop our whole school practice of collecting House merit points. However, each stage in the school will maintain their own rewards and praise systems in class. Children felt that the awarding of such point was irregular, inconsistent and too competitive.
We have also reviewed our use of Golden Time. As part of our school wide Positive Behaviour Policy, loss of Golden Time has been used as a sanction for inappropriate behaviour. Again in consultation with pupils, we have decided to stop this practice. However, we will still maintain a space in the curriculum for structured, purposeful play and socialising but this will no longer be linked to our behaviour policy. As a 1 in 5 Child Poverty Awareness school, we are also conscious that the practice of bringing toys and games from home can lead to challenges and pressures for families and potential scope for inequalities.
Therefore, the structured play activities will be resourced in school from now on.
On some occasions, a year group may opt for a games session and so we would greatly welcome any donations of preloved board games, which can be handed in to the School Office. It is also a good excuse for a clear out and a happy new home for these games! This would help us to provide some exciting opportunities to encourage children to play board games together.
One of our P7 pupils, Essie, suggested renaming Golden Time as 'Play Right' Time. We like the link to UNCRC Article 31 'The right to play' and the implied meanings of playing fair, including everyone and social etiquette. Respect, Inclusion, Teamwork and Effort (RITE) are our school values so we have slightly adapted Essie's idea and will use the term 'Play RITE Time' rather than 'Golden Time.'
On Friday 17th November our three P6 Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) encouraged everyone to be bright and be seen this winter and showed a video to explain why 20mph speed limits make roads safer. Mrs Gibb and P4C received reflective prizes for being the most brightly dressed. The Pupil Council is leading a consultation on a proposal to extend the playground and everyone in the Hall was asked to signal with a show of hands if they were in favour. Pupil Council reps from P2-P7 are also debating this proposal in class and collecting feedback comments for Mrs Noble.
Mr Howie led an inspirational presentation, designed to help pupils realise how they can take the lead to work individually and as a team to create and leave a lasting legacy, using the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team's philosophies as a theme.
P7 Sports Captains congratulated pupils on recent achievements and issued certificates to P7 Sportshall Athletics Finalists.

On Friday 8th September we explored 'Challenge Your Mindset' which is one of ten strategies in City of Edinburgh's Health and Wellbeing programme for "Building Resilience."
Pupils were encouraged to have a Growth Mindset and realise that their abilities are not fixed. Believing that achievement is possible is important, but lots of effort and being open to make and learn from mistakes are also keys to success. We watched videos from Class Dojo and Sport Scotland to encourage us to keep challenging ourselves and keep persevering in our efforts.
Miss McGrouther's P6B class has created a display with inspiring quotes on self belief entitled "Believe in Your #Selfie." Ivy and Alba researched leadership quotes for homework, working hard to impress their teacher with their extra efforts and shared these at Assembly.
The first Maths Week Scotland takes place next week and Ms Mackintosh is leading many maths events and activities in school. Some classes are also taking part in a national Sumdog competition, in school, at home or both.
Today, 8th September, is International Literacy Day and pupils have been invited to take part in the First Minister's Reading Challenge again this year. Reading passports have been ordered and reading challenges will take place throughout the year. One of the first is to join a local library, which then gives access to dozens of free resources such as Mathletics and ebooks.
This week P7C pupils assisted at Assembly in a quiz and in celebrating pupil achievements.
On Friday 4th May we continued with our current HWB topic 'Take A Moment' from City of Edinburgh's 'Be Resilient' programme. We reminded pupils of key messages and practised the Fischy Music song "Bad Times Won't Last" in the lead up to our whole school Mental Health Week 14th-18th May. (Please look out for Flyers from Ms Anstruther and the Parent Council Health and Wellbeing and Communications Groups that were sent home in schoolbags on Friday.)
At next week's Assembly, pupils have been invited to share strategies they use to cope with life's ups and downs.
The Gender Equality Group explained the 'UN Day of the Girl' and shared their own inspirational female role models. We have been fortunate to discover from their surveys and campaigns that Sciennes' pupils are very gender neutral in their outlook. The group responded to concerns that have been raised by some of our P7 boys that they were creating an imbalance by focusing on female equality issues. Rather, their intention is to raise awareness of global inequalities that exist beyond our school gates. Also in response to concerns raised, the group of four P7 girls designed their own application forms, interviewed 10 out of more that 50 P6 applications to continue their work next year and sought to appoint two boys and two girls. The new pupils were introduced at Assembly and were articulate in explaining why they had applied to join.
P6 and P7 pupils have been asked to 'Take A Moment' to reflect on all their achievements this year in order to complete their Bronze and Silver Award applications in eJASS (Junior Award Scheme for Schools. They have also been asked to give a five minute talk to their classmates on how they achieved the award by the end of May. FoTA (Friends of the Duke of Edinburgh Award) have contacted recently to invite selected Sciennes' pupils to contribute to a Case Study in early June and there may be press interest.
Pupils were reminded school is closed on Monday and Tuesday. P5 pupils should bring PE kit to wear underneath costumes at their Scottish Opera performance on Wednesday 9th May at 2.15pm in the Hall.

On Friday 9th March we continued with our 'Be Kind to Others' topic from City of Edinburgh's Health and Wellbeing 'Be Resilient' programme. Pupils from P4 and P6 shared their learning on the topic and gave examples of acts of kindness.
We welcomed Austrian Primary Education students Elisabeth and Daniela and bade fond farewell to Erasmus French teaching student Elodie (from Lyons) and Erasmus Spanish trainee teacher Adriano (from Madrid University) thanking them for all their tremendous support at school.
Our P7 House and Sports Captains have been busily working for several weeks with the Fiona Denvir, Bethan McEwan and Cathy McCormack from the Parent Council to redesign and plan our annual school fundraising events. P7 Captains Flora, Caspar and James introduced their new logo and explained their ideas for P1-4 to continue to take part in a Swimathon, while P5-P7 will take part in a new 'Meadows Mayhem' obstacle course.
P7 pupil Isaac updated us on his 'Marathon in a Month' campaign with brother Reuben to raise awareness and funds for Asthma UK and explained how others can take part, to raise funds for Asthma UK, or for Sport Relief or simply just to participate.
Emily and friends in P7 told everyone about their Sport Relief Bake Sale on Friday 16th March at 12pm in the playground and P7 Sports Captains will continue to sell wristbands for £1.
Alice, Niamh and Margret talked about International Women's Day and updated everyone on their P1 and P2 survey about gender equality. P2 pupils and Girl Guides Penny and Catriona were congratulated on their launch of the Citizen Girl campaign.
P6 pupils Rory, Isla, Ellie and Evie promoted their annual Easter Egg Foodbank Appeal running from 12th - 23rd March. There will be an opportunity to donate eggs at Parent Consultations on Tuesday 20th and Thursday 22nd March.
What a wonderful P6/7 Disco!
P6/7 Cross Country were congratulated on their participation in the recent EPSSA event at the Meadows where P6 Anna and P6 Dylan both received a 4th place medal.
Huge congratulations to Sean, Evie, Katharine and Tomos on their outstanding success at the recent Edinburgh Semi Final of Euroquiz, as Runners Up, only one point behind eventual winners Stewart Melville's after an unprecedented TWO tie breaking sudden death rounds. Congratulations to Stewart Melville's who will now progress to the Final at Parliament.
On Friday 18th January we launched our Year of Green Action 2019 campaign, with support from our Pupil ECO Group and P7 Captains. We continued with our City of Edinburgh Building Resilience theme of 'Have a Goal' by stating our ECO and Sustainable Development Goal ambitions. The ECO Group shared their progress on the three ECO Schools Scotland topics they have selected this year: Litter, Waste and Food. Pupils encouraged all not only to avoid dropping litter, but also to reduce the amount of litter we produce. Juline spoke about her plastic reduction petition and the group's aims to reduce the use of single use plastic at school and in the dining hall. Everyone was asked to make sure they only use reusable water bottles and take these to the dining hall to avoid using plastic cups. We watched a film by 'Kids Against Plastic' to find out why their campaign is important and the reasons behind it.
Our P7 Gender Equality Pupil Group have been interviewing over the past two weeks to recruit two more P7 members. Ivy and Sean
will join Nina, Ben, Tomos and Natalia. We have been very impressed how the group initiated and led the interviews and they have plans to repeat this later in the year to find a group of P6 pupils who will continue their work next year.
We are very proud to have a strong partnership with our friends and colleagues at the Children's Parliament and watched a video about their fantastic work. P6 pupils Jennifer, Haris and Rory have been taking part in exciting and innovative sessions throughout the year as part of their What Kind of Edinburgh?project where top level council leaders listen to their views and ideas for improving Edinburgh for young people. Rory, Jennifer and Haris gave out leaflets for pupils to share their own ideas about what kind of Edinburgh they want by 2050.
Exciting news! Haris in P6B has been selected for another amazing opportunity with the Children’s Parliament! Over the next couple of years he has been invited to take part in the 2020 and 2021 Cabinet Meetings with children and young people. Since 2017, there has been a meeting between the First Minister and her Cabinet and children and young people from the Children’s Parliament and the Scottish Youth Parliament. As far as we know, Scotland is the only country where an annual meeting like this happens! In yet more exciting news, six P7 pupils have been invited to Parliament on 31st January to speak about Health and Wellbeing with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and 8 P7 pupils have been invited to take part in a Model UN Conference at City Chambers in March.
P7 Hannah shared some tips with P6 about how she prepared for the Steven Lui Cup Burns Recital competition. A worthy winner last year! We wish our P6s good luck in reaching their goals to win this year.
Will you be a #Goalkeeper for the Sustainable Development Goals this year?
On Friday 1st September 2017, Mr Howie led the P4-7 Assembly, continuing our 'Building Resilience' Health and Wellbeing focus by exploring Resilience Role Models. Mr Howie particularly focused on Teddy Roosevelt, engagingly telling the story of his fascinating, inspiring life and how he strove to overcome adversity and take on personal challenges. Mr Howie also highlighted links with some of the ten 'Be Resilient' toolkit strategies (from a City of Edinburgh HWB programme) that we will be exploring further this year.
Pupils from P7A helped launch our annual P6 and P7 Junior Awards Scheme for Schools (JASS) and we celebrated recent pupil achievements.

Self-confidence is a belief or feeling in your own abilities and talents. The way you feel or believe in yourself will impact your reactions i.e. make you either confident or not confident. Do you want to learn the simple secrets to help you improve your self-confidence? Here is presentation that highlights on the simple tips to build self-confidence easily.
How to build self confidence - here is a slide show which takes you through 10 steps to grow and improve your self confidence and embrace the challenges in life
We all are pretty smart people, and we do know that like everything else even confidence wavers in our lives. The crude definition of self confidence is the belief in oneself that we can really do something. And this belief is put to test when things around us go completely wrong and we are still supposed to believe in ourselves, esp when no one else around us does.
No wonder it is tough and no wonder we seek assistance although we know that we have everything we need within ourselves to solve every simple problem. Today we are going to fixate on that problem which is bugging you from a while and develop the necessary confidence to get over it.
Here is a step by step procedure on how to build self confidence

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts.
