\"\"We have, now, reached the end of the 7th week of digital learning and the 9th of lockdown. Some pupils are still engaging fully in their virtual classrooms, others not quite so well. We would ask all parents and carers to encourage their children to login to the Google Classroom Stream on a daily basis, Monday to Friday. It would be very helpful if the pupils, once they’d logged in to do some work, too.\u00a0We don’t wish to pressurise our pupils or their parents or carers but I have to say that it would help keep the work they had completed, in school, fresh if they attempted some or all of the tasks which the Team Riverbank teachers are placing in the Google Classrooms for our pupils<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once again, over the course of the week I am amazed at work which the children are handing in. From maths to literacy, French and RME and lots of art work. I am ashamed to say that I didn’t realise how many talented artists we had a Riverbank until I saw and continue see, on a daily basis, the work being carried out by our pupils.<\/p>\n

I am also, continually impressed by the resources which our parents and carers come up with the support the learning of our pupils. Whether the family fruit and vegetable supply is pilfered for Carroll Diagrams or Lego ends up being used to support counting.<\/p>\n

We also have a number of budding film makers and this can be seen by the number of videos which have been made to demonstrate the learning activities of the pupils.<\/p>\n

This week we’ll start our showcase with the work of Mr Probart’s P6P class.<\/p>\n

RME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Campbell, who teaches RME to P6P sent this report to me: “This week for RME P6P listened to the Buddhist\"\" story Siddhartha and the Injured Swan. They then had to follow instructions and draw their own swan. They did a fantastic job! Here are Aimi and Maja’s drawings.” I have placed these in the slideshow along with….<\/p>\n

Tower Building Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the lockdown, Mr Probart’s class has been involved in a tower building challenge. This weeks’ entrant managed to find some bricks and I think everyone else will be hard-pushed to beat her tower. But…we ‘ll wait and see.<\/p>\n

Another task set by Mr Probart this week was to write poetry about colour. I have included two of the finished poems.<\/p>\n

\"\"As you can see, Majka D’s poem is very colourful. Aimi has given us two poems. Aimi’s poems are in the form of pdf file. Please click on the link to open, read and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Spiders and their Webs<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are learning about spiders and have found some cool facts about them. There are two photos; one shows Markuss making his spider web with his mum and the other shows Aiden with the web he made in his kitchen with pretend spiders and yarn.<\/p>\n

Our next offering is from Mr Flanagan’s class – P2F. I am led to believe that a young chap from Edinburgh was missing the normality of being at school and so he persuaded his teacher to have a Meet where everyone wore school uniform. Mr Flanagan’s class decided they would like to do the same. So here we have a still shot from Mr Flanagan’s Google meet from Friday afternoon with pupils in school uniform. It made me quite emotional to see pupils in school uniform, again\u00a0 and very surprised to see Mr Flanagan in charge of the Show and Tell Meet wearing a suit!!! Great Stuff everyone!<\/p>\n

School Uniform Day in P2F!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miss Littler’s Primary 4L<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next item is a Google Slides presentation on Worry Munchers. Riverbank had made an application to take part in CLAN’s (CLAN is the local support organisation for people suffering from cancer and their families.) Little Lights Project. The idea was that their Lights projects would see a trail of decorated lighthouses appear round the North of Scotland (a bit like the dolphins and Oor Wullies trails) Little Lights was to be the project with Little Lighthouses for schools. The project which was to have run in the summer has been postponed until next year. As part of the project CLAN provided an educational kit and Miss Littler took the Worry Munchers from there. The whole idea is that we design a monster that will munch away our worries.<\/p>\n
