LATEST NEWS FROM THE DEBATING CLUB !

eastcarpupil — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:17:04 +0000

On 10/03/09 Rosina Burns and Brandin Robertson attended the National Literacy Conference in the Glasgow Hilton Hotel. They delivered workshops with Miss Reid and Mrs Ferguson from Falkirk Council. Also delivering part of the workshops were Rob Marrs of the English Speaking Union and West Lothian Council’s Literacy Officer. They spoke to audiences of Head teachers, HMIE and LTS. Everyone who heard them said they did a fantastic job!

They met Professor David Booth from The University of Toronto who was the day’s main speaker. There was an article in the Falkirk Herald about the event last week.

We have been asked to help Westquarter Primary School set up their Debating club and are going out to visit them next week. We have also been asked to run workshops at the Parental Conference on 16/05/09 in Victoria Primary School.

Easter Funday

eastcarpupil — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:13:27 +0000

On the Fridy 3rd of April we had a fun afternoon. It started off as every class had to think of two or more stalls one inside and one outside. My class primary seven thought of outside we had guess the Baby and beat the goalie, for inside we had face painting. People form our class brought in baby photos and Amber brought in her face paints.

Next we were to set up and my stall was the baby pictures. It worked like this. First it was 20p and then we gave them a sheet to write down as many names as the could. If they got more than two right they got entered into the draw if not the got a lolly. As the end of the day came we got two winners and they picked their prizes.

The face paints done really well. The most popular desings were bunnies and butterflies also football.

There were alot more thing like the sponge throwing and home baking sales. We raised about £277 for the school funds. We had a good time and we will do it again.

We’ve got our Green Flag!!!

eastcarpupil — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:05:26 +0000

Monday 24^th March was a big day for everyone at Easter Carmuirs Primary. We finally were awarded our green flag for being a fantastic eco school! Everyone in the eco teams and the whole school has been working very hard for a long time to prepare for this day and thankfully all our hard work paid off! We were visited by two assessors who were taken on a tour of our school by members of the eco team. We told them and showed them all the great things we do in our school to help our environment. We even put on an assembly for them which they really enjoyed. We are all looking forward to receiving our flag and will need to think carefully about where we can put it to show everyone how fantastic we are! Well done and congratulations to everyone!

volcano

eastcarpupil — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:41:43 +0000

We made 2 volcanos out of recycled newspaper and card. We took them outside and exploded them. We used cola and mints on one, on the other we used fairy liquid, food colouring, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. The cola and mint one worked better.

The Australian Visitors

eastcarpupil — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:08:28 +0000

Mrs P and her head teacher came to Scotland for five weeks and were here visiting the schools learning about us and how we learn. When they came they first let us ask multiple questions then about how the school they were in and how they lived. I learned that the schools were pretty much like us but they wore hats and shorts, plus if they didn’t wear their hats the weren’t allowed outside. From how the lived I already knew the weather was different but a thing I did learn that there is more animals living there than I expected and all the animals in their garden.
