P5/6 Future Me
We have recently been learning about different options we have after school, for example, university, college, apprenticeships and employment. We have been discussing the skills and qualities we need for specific jobs and we looked into the future today…
Welcome to 2040! Each learner created a poster showing which job they would like to have, what route they would take to get there and the skills/qualities they have for that job. They presented their posters in groups.
P5/6 Fit on a Friday
Every week P5/6 enjoy a Friday workout to kickstart their learning. Today they chose Jumpstart Jonny -Everybody say Whoopa! 🙌 !
Followed by some fresh air and outdoor learning in the garden 🪴 ☀️
P5/6 World of Work Week
We have enjoyed exploring the different career paths that are available to us. We have watched videos about the jobs staff in our school have had. We have also enjoyed listening to interviews that we completed with our parents as homework tasks.
Today we took the Animal Me Quiz to learn what jobs are best suited to our
P5/6 World of Work
This week have have enjoyed learning about different career paths available to us.
We have watched videos that the staff in Fenwick Primary shared about the different jobs they have had.
We also shared our homework interviews of our parents and researched the careers that we can do in the subjects that interest us in school.
Today we had fun taking the Animal Me quiz on the World of Work Website.
We learned what jobs might suit our personality traits.
We have lots of budding teachers in P5/6! Have a read about us …
P5/6 Great Phizzi Share
Today we became physicists and took part in the Great Phizzi Share.
P5/6 Red Nose Day Lava Lamps
Science week experiments –
Red Nose Day Lava Lamps
We gathered together our resources and disussed what we thought might happen when we mixed oil and water togther. We then followed the experiment to create our own lava lamps.
How it Works:
The oil floats on top of the water because it is less dense or lighter than water. The food coloring has the same density as the water so it sink through the oil and mixes with the water. When you add the tablet it sinks to the bottom then starts to dissolve. As it dissolves it makes gas, carbon dioxide. Gas or air, is lighter than water so it floats to the top. The air bubbles bring some colored water with them to the top. When the air comes out of the colored water blob, the water gets heavy again and sinks. It does this over and over again until the tablet is completely dissolved.
P5/6 Science Week – The Moth
Today we explored our understanding of the word science. We brainstormed our ideas in a group.
We took part in The Great Science Share…
We have been asking lots of questions and then hypothesising , experimenting, analysing our results and then making conclusions.
We learned all about the Peppered Moth and how it has evolved and adapted to survive in it’s changing environment.
We even made our own moths and experimented with weight to make them balance.

P5/6 Science Week: Bees
P5/6 used question spinners to create questions they had about bees.
We discussed the importance of bees and planted herbs that were bee friendly. Mrs Conetta and Mrs Ross look forward to seeing any photos P5/6 have of their herbs when they start growing on their e-portfolio.
While groups were busy sowing their seeds, pupils were able to access laptops to research and find out the answer to their questions about bees.
