We have been learning about the significance of the Poppy.  The children created soldier silhouettes using sugar paper and wrote their own poems which were influenced by John McRae’s ‘Flanders Field’.

The children have been learning about shape, tone, wash and form.  They used water to diffuse the lines to create a wash effect.

Mrs Qiu returned to Primary 6.  The children were learning about The Mid Autumn festival that is celebrated in China.

The children are reading their class novel “ Oranges in no man’s land”.  They were interested in learning more about Lebanon and created mind maps to show their learning.  They compared the lifestyle and culture of Lebanese people to their own culture through mini presentations.

We have identified achievements, skills and areas for development.

Primary 6/2 have been learning how to compare and contrast.  They investigated fashion styles through the decades and identified similarities and differences to their own style.

Your new teacher can’t wait to welcome all of you to Primary 6.
