Health and Wellbeing

As part of our Health and Wellbeing activities we decided we would try and see the world from a different point of view. We had to try create a model out of play dough, but we all had to do give up doing something - someone couldn't talk, another could only use one hand, someone had to close their eyes and someone else had to stay on their chair and they couldn't move out of the chair. It was a lot more challenging for everyone than they expected. The person who was had their eyes closed had to cooperate by telling people what they had to do because they couldn't do much and the person who couldn't move from their chair was very helpful because they can use their arms and talk because they just had to stay on their chair, the person that couldn't talk had to either write stuff down or try give signals with their hands and the person that could only use one hand was helpful but it would've been hard. We tried this activities to learn and understand more about disabilities.

Creative session with Britt

On Thursday p7 had a visit from Britt Harcus. We were learning about what people in the past wrote like. We got to have a shot to write using feather quills, charcoal and bamboo. 

We also got to look at some of her grandad's belongings from World War 2,  like ID cards and some photos. Britt had brought in an old fashioned typewriter that she got from her mum.  When you used it you had to press the buttons really hard.
