P6 were interested in elephant’s toothpaste and how to make it.  So… we made some!  We used this opportunity to consolidate our learning on chemical reactions from earlier in the year.

Primary 6 have been putting their problem solving and team working skills to the test in some STEM challenges.

P6 have been exploring collage using Pablo Picasso as their inspiration to create portraits  They added texture to the collages by ripping the surface of their cardboard backing and used different types and colours of  paper to create  a face from two different perspectives.  Finally they added colour and detail using oil pastels.  They look fab!

P6 enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee last week.  Each class was given a decade of the Queen’s reign to investigate and ours was the noughties (2000-2009).

We explored genres of music from that decade as well as news stories.  We found out that a plane had to carry out an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York and that the Human Genome was sequenced amongst other stories.

As the Human Genome project was completed in 2003 we also had fun making models of the DNA double helix and extracting DNA from strawberries.

We also drew some of the Queen’s corgis before having fun outside at our Jubilee picnic.
