Home Economics

 

We Are All Unique

  By , , , ,

Back in August, the Home Economics department started work on an exciting project to showcase our school in a vibrant and innovative way. By celebrating the unique styles and individuality of our students, we have highlighted the beauty of our diverse community. Each student crafted their own small square, and when combined, these squares create a stunning patchwork that represents our differences while illustrating how they harmoniously come together to form something truly remarkable – much like our school itself.

Every square is a true reflection of each child’s creativity, with personalised choices in colours, designs, and even fonts. This artwork, titled “We are OB 24/25,” beautifully encapsulates the essence of our collective spirit and individuality.

Hard at Work and Play in Secondary

  By , , , , , , , ,

There’s been lots of work going on in Secondary over the last couple of weeks. It’s good to see pupils continuing to to work towards ASDAN awards and SQA qualifications while learning remotely. There have also been some very successful Google Meets and I know the staff involved in these have very much enjoyed seeing you all!

We have one young lady who working on SQA: Looking After Animals. She is taking good care of her new kitten.

We have pupils working on SQA Leisure Time Activities. This supports us in trying out new activities alongside engaging in things we already know and enjoy.

We’ve also been keeping fit, both indoors and out. There is a great range of activities in the PE Google Classroom. Please do pop in for a look if you’ve not already done so. Throwing and catching has been practised this week.

Life Skills and Independence

We continue to work on our life skills and independence. We’ve been baking: scones, a rainbow cake and savoury pancakes are a few of the recipes we’ve tried. Cooking and baking are great ways to practice our numeracy skills.

Assembly ‘Homework’

Our Secondary Assembly theme was ‘Love’ and we’ve now been tasked with showing love for someone over the next two weeks. This can take many forms: doing something to help someone else, being kind to someone, doing something that someone else enjoys, or for our staff and parents, showing yourself some kindness and taking a bit of time for you!

Following our previous Assembly where we had a theme of ‘Express Yourself’ in line with Children’s Mental Health Week, we enjoyed seeing photos of how others have done this.
