Lower 6 Pupils Learn About The Rainforest

Pupils in Lower 6 at Albyn School yesterday visited The Conoco Natural History Museum in Aberdeen. The visit was designed to reinforce the current school project on “The Rainforest”. It also provided the pupils with a perfect opportunity to interact with a range of animals and plant life that are native to rainforests, such as: stick insects, frogs, parrots and tarantulas.

The pupils learnt about different rainforests from; America, Asia, Africa and Scotland, as well as being able to ask a variety of questions.

School trips provide an important part of the curriculum allowing pupils to reinforce what is taught within the classroom.

Each child is unique and special. From the age of 2 years to the pre-school year every girl and boy goes through an astonishing period of development.

These few years are crucial for your child's future as he or she moves into more formal schooling and then adult life beyond. It is vital therefore to get those first months and years right. In the Albyn Nurseries our aim is to provide a safe, secure and caring environment for all the children in our care. We strive to nurture your child in bright, happy, stimulating and educationally structured surroundings.

Much has been made recently of the importance of providing the kind of atmosphere in which pupils feel happy and secure.

Albyn has always provided an environment that enables each child to blossom and therefore fulfil his or her individual potential. It is evident from our calendar of events that the Lower School children have a busy schedule. In addition, the staff work very hard behind the scenes to coordinate the children's class work to form a cohesive programme enabling them to progress smoothly from year to year.
