This has been an exciting week for P6a! At assembly this week we received our certificates for completing the Playzone Leadership course. Over the past 4 weeks we have received training from Tony about how to lead others when playing games. On Thursday we had an opportunity to use our new skills and play some games with primary 2.

This week we also started our new art project. We have researched a French artist named Georges Seurat who invented the art technique ‘pointillism’. We have started using this technique in our own art pieces.

This week we brought our Engineering topic to an end. We have been working in groups to develop a new invention which we presented to the rest of the class in the style of Dragons Den.

This week the pupils in P6a have been using recycled materials to create a silly invention as part of their Engineering topic. They have used collaborative, problem solving and communication skills to complete this task. We can’t wait to see their pitches ti the judges next week.

This week was very exciting for 2 of our P6 pupils. They attended Eastwood to compete in the Creating Engineers cluster challenge. The girls were challenged to build an exercise bike using K’nex and they scored an amazing 96 out of a possible 100 points. Well done R and K!!

Thank you to our Junior Road Safety Officers for talking at assembly this week and sharing information about the Big Walk and Wheel competition.
