Primary 6 has been learning about why we remember on Remembrance Day. We wrote Flanders Field in our best handwriting and answered reading comprehension questions on the famous poem.

We created two pieces of art to do with world wars. We also researched key information on World Wars.

Have a look at some of our Art. We are extremely proud of how our creations turned out.

Pupils are working hard on their work.

We were working on basketball skills. 

As part of Maths Week Scotland, we have been doing problem solving and puzzles. We really had to think about known strategies to solve the problems. We worked in twos’ which helped us ‘bounce’ ideas off one another. Have a look at some of our puzzles.

In PE with Mr Sharp, we have been learning skills in basketball. We worked in groups to learn new skills. Leah took some photos during the lesson. Here are some photographs to share with you.

Primary 6 have been learning to work within a budget. Pupils were split into groups and given a budget of £5.00. Within their group, they had to work out if anyone had food intolerances and dislikes. They then had to use websites to price the best option for fruit to make a fruit kebab.

Have a look at us hard at work.

Primary 6 pupils have been curling at the Icebowl. We had fun during our  taster sessions. Here are some photographs of use hard at work learning the ropes to the sport curling.

Primary 6 have been looking at food labelling in Skills Academy. We have been studying the traffic light system.

We put food packaging out on tables, we had to move around the classroom filling in our sheet on food labels. We then had to decide whether they were a healthy food choice or not. We had to give reasons for our answers.

Primary 6 were taking part in hockey lessons, delivered by Dumfries Hockey Club. We had fun and are looking forward to next weeks lesson.
