What a great time looking at all the Egyptian artefacts and much more!

P6 have been making their own video games using Microsoft Makecode over the past few weeks. We have now downloaded them onto Meowbits (handheld game devices) to play them just like real computer games!
P6/1 were learning about the Hindu festival of Holi. They celebrated it by having their own Holi powder fight!
P6 Knex Bridge winners are competing against Hillview and Carlibar in the Glasgow science festival STEM award. Their task is to build a go-cart with moving steering! Good luck!
P6 are looking at the effects of static electricity in different items. We saw that sugar, flour and rice was attracted to the negatively charged balloon. We were also able bend water using negatively charged rulers.
It was fun creating animals using paper which moved with the balloons.
P6/1 had their first road sessions this year for Bikeability. They have been practicing safe starts and stops, U turns, and turns.
Here are some of their thoughts –
”I think it’s fun because you get to learn how to go on the roads” – Ruby
“It’s a little bit scary but it’s a good experience” – Olivia M
”I like stopping for traffic and going fast on the roads” – Archie
“I like that we get to go outside and learn the signs and signals” – Grace
We are testing how much we love each other this Valentine’s Day with our Microbit love meters! Touch the love meter to see how much you love the other person.
P6 are taking part in a K’nex challenge. They have to build a bridge that satisfies the following criteria. It must:
be a stable structure.
span a 50cm gap.
hold a weight of at least a textbook.
The best team players will go on to represent Cross Arthurlie at the Barrhead High cluster competition. The winner of that competition will go onto a Glasgow wide and then a nation wide competition.
More gymnastic fun with P6. A little more adventurous with some children managing backflips!
We have been building more on our gymnastics moves as the children become more confident. This week we have used some apparatus to practise head stands and rolls, jumps and rolls as well as our climbing skills.
