We have been learning about chemical and physical reactions. We know a physical reaction is reversible (this means you can change it back), A chemical reaction is irreversible (this means that you can’t change it back). 

We have completed a number of experiments to investigate the effects of mixing different chemicals.

If there is a chemical reaction we know one of the following will happen: changing colour, temperature, fizzing showing a gas has been released and a smell been given off.

We made bath bombs.

We made lava lamps .

In Science,  we have been learning about the properties of light and how it can be used in a creative ways.

We explored opaque, translucent and transparent materials and completed experiments with torches to see how light is reflected and  refracted in different ways.

We explored how shadows can shrink and grow depending where the light source is placed.

Finally we made our own shadow puppets and performed our show to the class.

Shadow Puppet Show

Wow Primary 6 have had a very busy month of December!

We had a trip to St Andrews Church we got to take part in fun games and different creative workshops.

We then had a visit from Santa’s Reindeers.

We also got to see the Primary 1 and 2 Nativity and the Primary 3 , 4 and 5’s Christmas show. We have been working hard in class creating our very own Christmas inspired Rap. We also helped out our friend the Grinch with creating a how to steal Christmas guide. We have been busy designing our very own Christmas Jumpers and we even presented these designs to our class.
Our Christmas party was a huge success and it was lovely to see all the amazing dance moves.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

I look forward to seeing you all in 2026!

Miss Fergus and Primary 6!

Primary 6 enjoyed learning all about the 1960s as we celebrated our school’s birthday this month. We watched a family go back in time and learnt all about how the 1960s was a huge time of change. It was good to listen to lots of different music from the 1960s and we also learnt a new dance.

 

P6/2 had a brilliant day helping fundraise for Children in Need. We took part in some sports activities in the gym hall and also bought some toys and books from the Bring and Buy Sale. The best part was getting to wear our pyjamas all day at school!

October has been a very busy month for Primary 6!

We have enjoyed a visit from the Panto – Jack and the Beanstalk! This was a real treat.

Our topic this term has been Titanic and we have been exploring life on board this ship.  We took on the role of different characters that were on board the ship in a character hot seating activity. We had to identify which class each passenger was from based on the information provided during the interview.

Then we became artists on board the Titanic and created portraits of our passengers we were focusing on the skill of shading.

We had a very exciting treat from our local fire brigade they came to remind us all to be safe around fireworks. We also got to explore the fire engine and they explained how they used their equipment.

In the lead up to Halloween we have been doing lots of spooky activities from writing ghost stories to creating our very own “The Ghostly Night”

We have been learning about size, scale and motion in Space.

First we compared the sizes of the planets using fruits. Then we learned about the order the planets are away from the sun which affects the planets temperature and features.

Next we learned about the phases of the moon and compared gravity. We did a moon jump experiment to see how far we would jump on the moon.

What a fabulous time we had on our trip to Glasgow Science Centre. A bodyworks show started off the day then plenty of time to explore, play and be mini scientists.

Today Barrhead Times visited P5/2. We are finalist for Beano’s funniest class 😂😂😂.
