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 😂😂😂.

1. P5 have been learning about chemical reactions this afternoon! We mixed baking soda and vinegar. We observed that there was a gas and smell given off and the temperature dropped meaning it gave off heat. We also made posters on what we learned.

This term we are learning about Africa. Today P5 created African landscapes using paint and charcoal.

Working together to calculate the perimeter of the playground.

Primary 5 created their own shadow puppets before working collaboratively to perform to their peers.

We have gained so much knowledge about Crime and Punishment through the ages. It has been a fascinating pupil led topic.
