S1 pupils have been involved in a cross- curricular topic to produce Christmas boxes of sweets and chocolates. It involved Maths, Technical and H.E. Departments working together. In maths they investigated different shapes to find which one gave them the largest volume and the best shape for their chosen sweets. They drew the net of the shape which they then used in the Technical Department to develop their box using PowerPoint to add tabs, text and graphics. In H.E. they researched different kinds of sweets to find the most suitable for their box, ordered and costed ingredients, prepared and packaged their sweets. Have a look at them in the H.E. room
Watch those Adverts!
In their Literacy class, S1 have created their own advertisements
based on telephone competitions (where the cost of the call is glossed over very quickly at the end). They presented them to Mrs Matheson's class, to alert them to the dangers of clicking too quickly on the "Enter Competition" tab on the computer!
S1 have made a short video clip about Hallowe'en to share with their French friends.
