P6 have been working with Heriot Watt University as part of their ‘Year of the Sea 2018’. Last week we had a visit from Alex, a lecturer and Akoh a Civil Engineering student who set us the task of coming up with problems and solutions linked to the sea that they took back to the university students. The students then had a week to work on the problems set and devise solutions for them .

Today P6 went on a visit to Heriot Watt University to see how the students got on solving the problems we had set for them. This was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to see how science, technology and engineering can all work together to solve real life problems. The children scored the students on their solutions and presentations. They found this visit very interesting especially as they were able to see how the students would solve the problems they had set for them. The children asked excellent questions as they were going around the different stalls and kept the students on their toes!

Many of you may have seen footage recently on TV and social media of the campaign for Kira the Machine.  Kira is a 14 year old from Craiglockhart who is a pupil at Firrhill High School.  She has been fighting high-risk Neuroblastoma since she was 11.  She urgently needs an operation to completely remove the disease.  Despite gruelling treatment and three operations already, her cancer has come back twice.

Now her best hope of being disease-free is life-saving surgery in the USA by a world renowned specialist surgeon in New York.

Kira’s family have to raise £350,000 by 10th May and are desperately appealing to raise funds.

We are having a Hats4Kira day on Friday 4th May.  This is completely optional but if the children would like to pay £1  to wear a hat/silly hairstyle or wig to school on that day it would support an excellent cause.

We are  holding a free public early years careers information event on Friday 20^th April at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, morning or afternoon, for those who are particularly interested.  Bookable via Survey Monkey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/EYCAREERCHANGER

On Wednesday the 20^th of May 2018 12 students from Currie Primary went to the Commonwealth Pool for a Swimming Gala. The Swimming Gala consisted of back stroke, breast stroke and free style. We all were on teams of 4 because it was a relay. Each team of 4 had their own stroke. We all had a really good time but sadly no medals came back with us due to our scores that were 5^th, 5^th and a 7^th. However, that did not matter because we all enjoyed ourselves.
