Fairtrade in Primary 6

Primary 6 has been learning all about Fairtrade Fortnight. We learned all about the support that the organisation gives to farmer and workers across the world. Fairtrade helps over 1 million people worldwide.

We worked in two’s, using Digital Technologies to research foods and their journey to reach Australia. We looked at air miles. We completed a table on air miles and annotated a map showing the journey that food will take to reach it’s destination.

French in Primary 6

Primary 6 has been learning to write a description of a pet in French. They then swapped work with someone else in the class who then translated the writing back to English. Our success criteria was: I can write French descriptions of a pet for someone else to translate. The META skills that we used were: Focusing, Communicating, Collaborating and Leading. 












P3/4 Viking Longhouses

We have been learning about the daily life of the Vikings. We researched what their houses were like and created models.

We worked together, shared ideas, chose our own materials to use, created, problem-solved and then gave a guided tour of each model.

Some us chose to apply our digital technology skills by creating our models using Lego Builder online.

We hope you enjoy watching our clips and learning what the Viking homes were like.

P3/4 Enterprise

Primary 3/4 pupils developed a range of skills for learning, life and work while running their own Enterprise. They shared ideas, listened and responded to others, reached agreements, used their creativity, planned, designed, evaluated, improved, problem-solved, worked independently and with others. They created persuasive posters, took responsibility for collecting and recording money received and were excited to deliver the Tartan Friends to their new homes. Fantastic skills everyone!
