P6F Space Models

Last term P6 were studying the Solar System and were asked to produce a 3D model that answered a ‘big question ‘on a topic that interested them about space.  At the end of term all models were showcased to parents and friends at our Science Fair and several other classes came to marvel at our magnificent work!  There was a great variety of subjects covered and all models had accompanying research.

We spoke very enthusiastically about our models and were keen to present our work to other classes including P2 who had been studying the planets.  Well done P6!

P6F Gaming with P2

This term P6 have been using the software Kodu to create their own game. The target audience was P2 who were invited to come and play these games!  Both classes joined together and the P6’s enjoyed explaining the aim and instructions of their games while P2 gave a lot of positive feedback.  We finished with P2 singing a song they had learned about the Solar System. Great fun!

The finalists were: Jenny Blackwood; Leon Pipe; Lainey Ireland; Liam Whalen and Myah Sargent.

Our Dragons were: Logan Bond; Ciara McQuarrie; Aaron Campbell and Shannon Kelly.

Dalbeattie High School Visit to P6F

On Tuesday 1st March a group of S3 students visited P6 in order to share their work regarding healthy eating and food labelling.  They led  various group tasks including ordering drinks based on sugar content and measuring the number of spoonfuls of sugar in a number of popular drinks.  This linked very well to our current health work.
