Primary 6 has been looking at the work of Pablo Picasso and his art style known as Cubism. We are really happy with our work based on his style.

In Skills Academy this term we have been looking at design and technology. We have worked as part of a team on different projects. On our final week we brought all of our skills together in order to create a mode of transport for a Halloween character.

We had to work as part of a team to develop a plan for our ‘Witchmobile’ and we could be very creative! We were given a list of resources we could use to build our vehicle but there was certain criteria which it had to meet. It had to be air powered, move independently and have a graphic design logo. Once we had planned our build we then created a graphic design logo on the computer before building our vehicle.

After we were finished we tested our vehicles outside to see how successful they were.

We had great fun and developed lots of different skills.

Primary 6 has been learning new gymnastic skills with Mr Sharp. We are working on putting a routine together to perform to the class.

Not only was it Outdoor Classroom Day today but it was also Day of the Dead.

After learning about the history of Day of the Dead, P5 were tasked with creating their own skull.  How colourful do they look?          

In keeping with the Halloween theme, Primary 6 has been choreographing a dance working n small groups to Thriller.

Today is ‘Outdoor Classroom Day’ and P5 had a day planned outdoors.  Thankfully the rain stayed off for most of the morning for our first activity – den building.

It was fun – Rocco

It was very windy but we managed to build it – Lauryn

We worked as a good team and it was really fun – Pippa

Have a look at some of our fabulous dens!

Friday 13th October was a sharing our successes assembly.

As part of our IDL this term of global citizenship.  We were tasked with creating a den using materials we could find in the playground. We done this because October 10th was world homeless day.

On Thursday 5th October Primary 7 went to DGOne for Operation Safety. We took a bus to Operation Safety.  When we were there we got split into groups so we could do our activities.

When we were working with Scottish Power they taught us how many volts travel through power lines. We carried out an experiment to see if electricity could travel through our bodies.  They taught us how to be safe around electricity.

The fire brigade helped us with fire safety and water safety.  We learned how to keep ourselves safe around fireworks. We played a game to see what was safe to put on a bonfire. At water safety they showed us how to help someone who was drowning while keeping ourselves safe.

The paramedics taught us the recovery position and how to check ABC. A stands for airways B stands for breathing and C stands for circulation or pulse. They also showed us how to find our pulse.

Youth work taught us about the dangers of vaping and smoking. We had to draw a hand and share things that were important to us.

The police talked to us about social media and the age requirements for different apps. We made a TikTok advising people about the dangers of social media.

We thought Operation Safety was fun and interesting.
