Edinburgh University Trip.

On Wednesday 17 March 2010 p7 went to Edinburgh University. The visit was arranged by Dr Neil Spiers who had visited us in school. We went to a lecture theatre to talk about what we were going to do and have lunch. The trip was split into workshops; there was Chinese and Law. The first workshop was Chinese. We learnt how to say our names, nice to meet you and good bye. Then a lady came in to teach us about the law. In the law workshop we got split in to groups and we spoke about what we thought law was about. Then we had to make three new laws - 2 of these were - No racism and Children should be able to drive at 12 years old. Then we did a quiz about what age you have be to do things. The trip was a lot of fun and it was great to see what being at university would be like. We travelled by coach and we were a bit late back to school!

Blair and James P7

Think ahead !

On Tuesday 23th February all the p7's of Bonaly, Colinton and Oxgangs went to our catchment high school Firrhill. We went there to think about what jobs we want to do after we leave High School. We went to lots of different workshops! We had a lot of fun !
When we went to the different workshops, we got paired up with Bonaly's p7 and Oxgangs p7.
We all went to four different workshops, the workshops were retail, science, hospitality, forestry, web disign, construction and many more! - some of the s4 came with us.
We all had a good time !
and some of us are looking forward to going to Firrhill ! :)
