Primary 6 helped the Primary 1’s to make bookmarks for World Book Day. We partnered up with a younger pupil and helped them with folding and cutting. The META skills we used were: Creativity, Collaborating, Communicating, Leading, Focusing and Adapting.
Congratulations to all Pupil and Teacher Certificate winners, to all Star Writers and to Lancaster who were our House cup winners. Well done everyone!
Primary 6 have been creating posters on cyber resilience and how to stay safe online. We worked on our own on this task. We also looked at scenario blether stations about sharing information online. We had to identify the information in each scenario that should not be shared online.
Tuesday 11th February was Safer Internet Day.
The Young Digital Leaders visited every class in the school to share ways in which children can be safer when using the internet.
With the infant classes they discussed the way they can feel when using the internet as well as trusted adults they can speak to.
With the upper classes they investigated signs to look for to decide if someone is trying to scam us as well as ways people can ‘phish’ for your private and personal information.
The Young Digital Leaders loved being teachers for the day!
On Thursday 13th February Briony from Sustrans came to talk to us about air pollution. She shared information about the effect cars and lorries can have on our environment. We also discussed what we could do to help.
Afterwards we went outside to look for lichen in the playground. She taught us about the different types of lichen and what that can tell us about the air quality where they are found.
Primary 6 have been creating gymnastic routines in PE with Mr Sharp. We have been creating movements that flow from one movement to another.
Every second Tuesday we make music on Soundtrap with John and Roo. We have lots of fun developing our creativity skills. We are able to make music in lots of different styles. We can express ourselves through the different styles which we create. We have to think about the number of beats and bars in our tracks as well as the different musical instruments.
We have developed our communicating and collaborating skills as well as our creativity skills.
It’s really fun because we get to make our own music! – Mollie
It can be challenging sometimes. – Cole
It’s great for relieving stress! – Carron

Fraser ran his chess club again today. He was teaching skills on how to play chess, playing on traditional boards and using digital technologies for online chess.
In P7R we have been learning about Speed, Distance, and Time in maths.
We took our learning outside to calculate our speed by measuring various distances and timing ourselves walking, running, skipping and jumping these distances.
Once we knew our distance and the time it took to travel that distance, we could calculate our speed.
We were curious about how our speed changed due to different factors so we compared our speed going the same distance on the pitch compared to the muga and the tarmac. It made us think about how speed, distance, and time are not just numbers they’re connected to the world around us.
We collaborated with partners to measure the distances and record our partners times.
Primary 6 pupils have been choosing a person from history to research and present to the class. We worked in two’s to complete this task. Click on our work to see our learning.
