Snapshot of P6B’s learning!

Our class novel is Chill by Alex Nye! Mr Becket, who is an archaeologist, shared with us his experience of exploring the actually area where The Battle of Sheriffmuir occurred, which we read about in the book.

 

 

During our natural disaster topic we carried a range of science experiments such as volcano and blizzard making. Everyone in the class also had to prepare debates and presentations on their disasters. This involved researching a natural disaster and then peer assessing each presentation. We then discussed how the rights of a child may be affected   in the aftermath of a natural disaster. For example, children may not have access to education, clean water or a safe place to play. 

In preparation for the P6 show, A Broons Guide to Scotland, some of the pupils were busy making props! As part of our Scotland topic, Mrs Norman and Mr Atkinson helped us recreate our very own Charles Rennie Mackintosh paintings which are now displayed outside the classroom. We loved learning about the history of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and how his designs still influence modern architecture.

Every Friday the class and the Eco Committee gathers and counts the crisps packets from all the classes in the school as part of a new recycling scheme.

 

Mr Atkinson’s Comment

Congratulations to everyone in P6 for a fantastic and entertaining show! I am very proud of how hard you worked to master your lines and stage directions!
