Transition Event – Rights Respecting Schools

On 11 April a group of 20 third year pupils accompanied Mrs Mackenzie to Juniper Green Primary School for the afternoon to attend an inspiring afternoon event. The Primary 7 pupils and teachers from our cluster primaries met together and took part in activities on the theme of Rights and Respect. The pupils from the different schools played a game of human bingo during the welcome time while enjoying juice and biscuits. The pupils were guided into mixed groups with the High School pupils helping and supporting the Primary 7 pupils to play some games and discuss issues of human rights in the context of a school. The informal atmosphere gave the primary pupils an opportunity to ask questions and air their fears about coming up to High School.

The afternoon was enjoyed by all and the High School volunteers gave ideas on how the activities could be improved for next time. We look forward to meeting the Primary 7 pupils again soon.
