We have ben very lucky to receive a grant rom DRAX which we have used to purchase lots of Lego Spike sets. The Young Digital Leaders can’t wait to start using this with classes after the holidays!

Primary 6 have been using an Atlas to identify a country on a blank world map. We had to locate a country on a map of the world and draw a line from a present to this country in our own map. We then had to find the flag of that country and colour the Christmas present the colour of the flag.

Primary 6 have been using their Ipad slot to complete a scavenger hunt on Google Maps. We had to find the geographical feature, identify the country and then identify another geographical feature close by.

We used lots of our META skills for this task.

At the end of November P7 took part in different World of Work workshops.

We learnt about cracking different codes in the Cryptography workshop. We had great fun coding and decoding different messages.

We then took part in a games design workshop and we created our own maze game. We were able to control our character to solve the maze and then we were able to play each others games. It was super cool!

P5/6 have been learning about right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles (definitely not angels). We went outside to see what angles we can find around the playground!

Primary 5 and Primary 6 pupils are busy rehearsing for their Christmas performance. This year, we are doing A Matchgirl’s Christmas, which is based in Victorian times.

Primary 6 has been designing and testing rockets as part of our STEM challenges. We predicted whether they would fly. Our next task is to redesign our rockets based on what we now know.
