This week is Children’s Mental Health Week (7-13 February 2022) and the theme is Growing Together.
Primary 6 had a class discussion about emotional growth and how they can deal with new and challenging situations. They talked about important people in their lives that can help to support them and how important it is to talk about your feelings.
Here are some of the support balloons they created showing people important to them that act as their support network.
To celebrate Flag Friday, Primary 6 have been investigating the flags and languages of the countries of the Amazon Rainforest.
As part of our rainforest interdisciplinary learning, the pupils worked in small groups to research the countries, their flags and languages and then present their findings to their classmates.
P6 have been very busy filming our video to promote active travel to school instead of taking the car.
We have entered our video in the Ayrshire Roads Alliance JRSO competition. The class worked really hard – wish them luck!
Here is our finished video.
The class participated in the Columba 1400 Leadership programme again. This time the focus was on the value Integrity. There was lots of discussion about what integrity means and how they can demonstrate integrity in school and the wider community. The pupils also created Welcome to Our School leaflets or posters focussing on different aspects of the school community.
Outdoors they carried out a trust building, blindfold maze activity. They worked in teams to create chalk mazes in the playground. One team member was then blindfolded and the others had to guide them around the maze safely.
P6 studied ‘To a louse’ by Robert Burns as part of our Burns Night celebrations. We discussed Scots words and their meanings, created visualisations of ‘To a Louse’, as well as designing our own tartans in ICT to use as a back drop for some Scots Words Pop Art!
Congratulations to our Burns Poetry competition winners:
1st : Bruce Guild
2nd : Ciara Biggs
3rd : Arran Johnson
In PE, P6 have been taking part in gymnastics and developing their balancing skills. Here are some pictures of the partner balances they created.
