This term, Primary 6 will be working on a range of mini topics. We are starting the term off with a ‘Super Science’ topic looking at micro-organisms, burning, friction and floating and sinking. Our cold and hot literacy tasks will be based on a scientific report. In addition, we will be studying the effects of smoking and alcohol on the body in line with our health and wellbeing programme. Primary 6 will shortly begin the peer mediation training programme and will continue to visit their nursery buddies!
