Skene Square School

A few of the fantastic eggs from yesterday’s competition. Lots of fun and so many creative ideas. Happy Easter weekend everyone.

@ManorParkSch @Sportaberdeen @sportscotland A massive well done 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely delighted to share our Sports Captains secured a Gold Sports Award for our school community for the work we do and the celebration of all the opportunities provided. @Sportaberdeen @sportscotland #SchoolSportAward #TeamMP

Primary 1 and 2 welcomed author Alice Hemming to school as part of Aberdeen’s Granite Noir Festival. She shared a reading of her book ‘The Snow Thief’. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

🚀 Feedback in Focus! 🚀 @SkeneSquare is diving into Module 2 of the @gtcs-accredited #OTI programme today! This dedicated team is embracing the power of effective feedback to transform teaching & learning. We’re proud to support this fantastic school as their fourth cohort experiences the real impact of #OTI! 💡📚 #Education #TeacherDevelopment

🎭Looking forward to seeing our pupils take to the stage both in and out of school over the next couple of weeks. We are also very proud of our own Mr Reid in his leading role. Superb reviews Mr Reid, well done 🎭🌟 pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/entertainme…

‘Sharing the Learning’ for term 1 has been shared. Please take some time over the holidays to discuss these with your child/ren and let them tell you about the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their learning.

As the temperature dips through autumn into winter, we have added new and pre-loved hats, scarves and gloves to our swap shop. Please take what you need and give, when and what you can 🥰🍂 🧤 🥰 #kindness @CPAGScotland

The ‘knowledge harvest’ from P3 generated the big question of ‘What are we going to do with all that rubbish?’. One of their ideas to explore was how they can reuse clothing? Looking forward to these lifeskills being developed. 🪡🧵

The power of ‘yet’. The start of term sees a focus on effort and mindset. Love this P1/2 display and pupil self reflection. #growth #ambition

Primary One portraits! Looking forward to seeing the progress over their first year of school. #growth

Love this, Frida Kahlo inspired, self portrait which has been proudly placed in our Art Gallery 🖼️ #growth

Well done to Prassida 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Our final ‘Sharing the learning’ for this school session has been shared via classrooms and on our app. Please discuss and celebrate all the wonderful and new learning that has taken place this term #growth #ambition

What a difference a school year can make 🤩 love these black pen drawings by our Primary 1 pupils. Then vs now #growth

Showcasing our final art project of P5C! Our learners took inspiration from artist Frida Kahlo to create their own self portraits, taking care to include features of her distinctive style as well as adding their own personalisations. Very impressive! @SkeneSquare

When learning about inherited characteristics, P5C chose DNA, that included code for both dominant and recessive genes, from a mum Reebop and a dad Reebop to produce a randomised offspring! 🧬 Thank you @MissGordon17 for inspiring this lesson, our learners loved it! @SkeneSquare

Huge congratulations to our P6 and P7 netball team, who were fantastic at their first (friendly) match against Ashley Road School. Our pupils have recently been introduced to the sport of netball and made us all proud. Thanks to Miss Brown and Mrs Fraser 🏐

As you can see from the photos, P5 had a blast at Greenmyres Bothy yesterday! Thanks @AdventureAbz for organising a wonderful trip. More photos in this term's Sharing the Learning.

An adventure and activity filled day for Primary 5 at Greenmyres Eco Bothay with the team from Adventure Aberdeen. Canoeing, rock climbing and wilderness skills 🏕️ 🧗🏾‍♀️🚣🏽‍♂️@SkeneSquare

⏰ Morning campers! No alarm clock needed here because you don’t need one if you don’t actually go to sleep 😴 😫😂. Don’t be fooled because although not many bodies outside of tents, they are ALL awake inside them 😳
