Primary 6 enjoyed learning about the Stroop Effect. We discussed the need for our brain to set aside the word and focus on the colour of the word. Using iPads, we timed each other to say the colours as fast as we can. We identified key skills such as concentration, perseverance, confidence and having a growth mindset to tackle a challenging task and be successful. We discovered the importance of encouraging our peers and appreciating their support.

We had great fun this afternoon creating a mock murder trial for Mary Queen of Scots. The rest of the class took part as the jury and were given the tough job to decide who was guilty!

We watched the Nativity play today which was presented by the infants. We can see that they put in so much work!

We enjoy playing Noggle and sharing our maths strategies with our peers. We use peer and self assessment to support our learning.

Primary 6 were visited by the Minister to discuss a variety of Christmas traditions. They discussed why a Christingle can be used during Advent.

We had great fun this week doing our Christmas craft activity.

We visited Newton Mearns Baptist Church this morning to learn about the Christmas story. We took part in creative arts and craft activities, story telling and much more! The church members acted out a fantastic drama piece showing us the importance of waiting and being patient.
