Primary 6/2 had a great time today practising super skills on their bikes over ramps, see-saws and stairs! What incredible confidence and effort! Well done everyone!!

Primary 6/2 had their first session of gymnastics today. They worked in pairs to create fantastic partner balances. They supported and encouraged each other while communicating clearly to each other.

The spheres maths group have been exploring decimals. Today they looked at how decimals are used in real life contexts.

The pupils highlighted different amounts of money and then wrote them out as a decimal. They then ordered the decimals from each page from smallest to largest.

Primary 6 have been learning about Poppy Scotland. They used research skills to find information on the history of the charity and how it helps people. They displayed this on creative and informative posters.

They completed a variety of art work to explore the poppy, the wars and the people affected by the wars.

They used note taking to gather their information and chose important pieces of information to display on their own poppy.

Through the exploration of  a case study about an ex-serviceman, they understood where the money raised by Poppy Scotland goes and the important impact it has on people lives who have been affected by wars.

primary 6 took turns to go around the school each day selling poppies and raised a fantastic amount of money for Poppy Scotland.

Well done Primary 6!!!

Prinary 6 /2 have been working on their basketball skills. The last few weeks they have practised passing, dribbling and travelling with the ball.
