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.
During the past two weeks the P7 class have enjoyed developing new skills in the game of hockey.
P5 have enjoyed our ‘Code Along Live’ session this morning where we were using code to create an ’emotions’ badge. We thought about how our face changed when our emotions change and designed these faces on our Micro:bit simulator. We were able to add more than one emotion and also music to our code.
Next week we will be carrying on, and creating a different badge.
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.
What a busy first few weeks we have had. We have been trying hard to establish and follow our new classroom rules.
We have also spent a bit of time learning about each others differences and how to treat each other with kindness and respect. We used the book ‘Only One You’ to help with this.
We designed our own ‘individual’ fish. Aren’t they all different?
We also showed our differences and individuality when we made our self portraits…what do you think?
Our new class pupil councillor was also elected. Well done to Carly! And also to Nathan who was voted to be our Vice. We know you will both do a fantastic job.
Everyone is looking very smart and we are all eager to learn!
Leah and Reuben were voted in as our Pupil Councillor and Vice Pupil Councillor for this year.
We showed the P1s how to use the playground toys properly. We played games with little groups of children and gave them ideas on what they could do. We developed our creativity, leadership and team-player skills. We felt good doing this. -Isla
During the open afternoon there were several different stations for people to complete different challenges. Some of the activities were building a bridge using cardboard and Make Do materials, transferring water along a straw pipeline, programming the Botleys and coding the MicroBits. We developed our designing and creativity skills. It was a really fun afternoon. -Arran
During the first couple of weeks we got to know one another. We complimented each other’s strengths and got to find out al about each other. We set targets for the year ahead and at home we created a poster to share important information about ourselves. We developed our creativity, caring and communication skills. The first couple of weeks helped us feel comfortable in class.- Shubhra.
We have been completing a variety of different pieces of writing. We created a Recipe for the Perfect Summer which consisted of everything we did during the summer. We also wrote about what our Perfect Classroom would be like and we researched the life of Queen Elizabeth II in order to write a biography. We developed our creativity, research and writing skills. The writing has been fun. – Grace
In P.E we have been learning different sports. We have learnt to play disc golf, chicken hero and football. Everyone shared their thoughts and ideas on the new games. We developed our teamwork and leadership skills. It was really fun learning new games. -Kallan
In skills academy we learnt all about the different types of engineering. We had to design our own way of transporting an egg down a zip line using only certain materials. We had to test our design and then adjust our design. We developed our team player and creativity skills. It was a good experience. – Leah
