In Science we have been learning about the Solar system.
We linked our learning to Technologies and in ICT we used a software package called I Can Animate to create animations linked to the Solar System.
We worked collaboratively with partners to combine our animations into a short movie with some text and some music.
Here is an animation created by Stefan and Rudi.

Our local MP Kirsten Oswald, who represents East Renfrewshire Council, visited our class on Wednesday the 23rd of September.
First we wrote a formal letter to Mrs Oswald inviting her to visit the class. We used persuasive and formal language within our letters.
Next we created open ended questions to ask Mrs Oswald to help us learn more information about her role as an MP.
Mrs Oswald informed us about the history of the Scottish Parliament and told us about the election process. We then asked Mrs Oswald our questions whilst we took notes.
Using our notes and the key information we created a 3 paragraph personal profile.
We will be able to apply these skills in our future working life.
Throughout the visit we ensured that we showed Mrs Oswald respect and that we are responsible for our learning.
We were able to discuss our visit when we attended the Scottish Parliament Building on the 30th September.
On the 29th January our school celebrated Robert Burns day by hosting a Tartan Day and a Celebrating Scotland Assembly.
We have been learning My Hoggie by Robert Burns and also a Scottish song called Sands O’ the Shore.
We all had to learn two stanzas each, Scots language and how to perform using expression. We have been learning how to perform the poem using rhythm also.
In Primary 6 we have been analysing the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh. In particular we have focused on his famous painting Starry Starry night.
We were challenged to use similar techniques used by the artist. We used a variety of media to create our own version of the famous painting.
We used curved lines for the wind, short straight lines for the sky and hatching for the buildings and the foreground.
I enjoyed using all of the different techniques to build up my picture.
