On Thursday last week we had a special visit from the Elves and Reindeer!

In Primary 6 we have been learning all about being responsible Digital Citizens.  We have discussed the importance of keeping ourselves safe online and also how we should behave online.

We completed an experiment where the class had to squeeze all of the toothpaste out of the tube in two minutes. Easy!!👏

After this, the class then had to get all of the toothpaste back into the tube using just two cocktail sticks. Not so easy…😶

From this experiment, the class discussed all about what they post and share online. We had a chat around what a Digital Footprint is and that all of our behaviours online don’t wash away like normal footprints. We made connections with this and our toothpaste experiment and came to the conclusion:

It is easy to say and share things online quickly, like it was to empty the tube of toothpaste.

It is much harder to erase what we have said and shared online after we have shared it, much like it was to clean up all of the toothpaste.

We will be responsible digital citizens and show positive digital behaviours!✅

Primary 6/1 then made posters about how we can have a positive digital footprint.

During Maths Week Scotland we have had a week filled of Maths inspired activities. 🔢

We looked at the art of Piet Mondrian and used Maths materials to imitate his artwork. Each child rolled the dice 3 times to create a number in the hundreds. We then drew round hundreds, tens and ones to create our art. Then we used the same colours as Piet Mondrian,: yellow, red and blue. 🎨💛❤️💙

A very exciting piece of news!🥳

We completed an Escape Room as a class and have won the whole school a subscription to 0maths which is worth £840!

Well done Primary 6/1, I am so proud!👏

Have a well deserved September Weekend,

Miss Payne 🙂

Primary 6/1 are off to a great start in our new classroom.

 

We have spent a long time discussing our rights and deciding our responsibilities in upholding these rights as a class. We selected the Emoji theme:

Primary 6 have started to learn about the 7 Elements of Art. Everyone created a piece of artwork displaying all 7 elements.

We had a whole focus on the element of Line where we all experimented drawing different types of lines. Some of us had a go at “taking a line for a walk” inspired by the artist Paul Klee where we completed a continuous line drawing without lifting our pen from the page.
