Last week the pupils participated in another Columba 1400 leadership session live on TEAMS with other primary schools across East Ayrshire.  The pupils discussed the value of creativity and what it means to be a creative leader.  They discussed influential people including Greta Thunberg and Andrew Robertson and how they showed creativity in their leadership. They then practised their own creative skills.

The used their creative communication to take part in back to back drawing activities where one person described a drawing to their partner who then had to draw it based on the description given.  They pupils really enjoyed this task – here are some pictures of the results!

They also used their imagination to be creative and write a story based on a storyboard with only 4 symbols.  They brainstormed as a class to generate ideas about what each symbol could be and then co-created a paragraph telling the story of the symbols.

To help develop their spelling skills, the class have been creating word searches using their spelling words.  They then swapped with a partner to try and find as many of their spelling words as they could.

The class looked very festive for the Christmas Dinner on Wednesday!

During Science P6 have been investigating  the components of electrical circuits and the symbols that represent them. They also practised drawing their own circuits using the symbols they had learned.

Primary 6 have been developing their knowledge of  fractions, decimals and percentages by using a dice roll activity to create percentages and then write the equivalent decimal and fraction.  They have also being using card matching games to consolidate their learning.
