Setting Descriptions
Primary 6.21 have been learning about the importance of creating detailed setting descriptions to set the scene. They were asked to create a setting description based on the short clip Embarked. Once they had completed their description it was then shared with another member of the class who was tasked with drawing the setting they were reading,
Rebecca: “I thought that some members of the class didn’t add enough detail to their descriptions and it made it hard to add detail”.
Miraaya. “I really enjoyed drawing Jamie’s setting description as I was able to add lots of detail to the setting”.
Take a look into our eyes !
As part of our Friday growth mindset discussions Primary 6.21 have been reflecting on what they enjoy seeing and doing. We decided to create an eye self-portrait that displays their likes and goals.
This task also provided the opportunity to work on their line drawing skills by drawing their eye using only a lead pencil.
Keep your eyes peeled for the final pieces.
Mearns Masters
Primary 6.21 kicked off their first week of their new Mearns Masters pathway by making some delicious vegetable fajitas.

Paired Reading
Primary 6.21 are currently reading The Christmasurus by Tom Fletcher and have enjoyed reading and listening to the book.
The class decided that they would like to read the book to each other in groups to aid their expressions and fluency.
Code Along for Christmas
P6.21 took part in the Education Scotland Code Along challenge and were able to create a memory game on Scratch. It was a challenge at times, but they were able to follow the instructions and create the ‘Jazzy Jumper’ game. They were able to apply the knowledge they have been learning about in their current Mearns Masters pathway, The Coders, to develop their skills and understanding of code.
