60th Celebration

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.

 

Children in Need

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!

Science Space

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.

Viking Art – Making Jewellery

As part of Social Studies we have been learning about the Vikings. In Art we explored some of the patterns they used in their artwork such as crosses, knots and lines. We designed our own Viking jewellery and carved our designs into clay to create a pendent or bracelet.

We used wool to weave or pleat  our bracelet and necklaces. We worked well to help others.
