This week in P6b we have been learning about…

Lunar New Year

This week we learned about Lunar New Year and that it is the year of the snake. We discovered the zodiac animals and traditions that are celebrated during Lunar New Year. Some of the learners shared the story of how the zodiac animals got their place in the big race.

Growth Mindset

We continued to develop our knowledge of the difference between a growth and a fixed mindset. Learners used their creativity to create a poster to showcase their knowledge.

Committee Week

Some of our committee reps had the chance to share the classes views at their meetings. We’re looking forward to hearing them present at next week’s assembly.

Playzone

Today, Tony Bryson joined us for our first playzone session. The learners explored what makes a positive leader and the 3 golden rules for effective coaching. Everyone was separated into their playzone groups and started planning for their first coaching session next week.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Health and Well-being

We continued learning about growth mindsets and the strategies we can use to support us to make positive choices. Our health and well-being lessons supported us whilst preparing and performing the P6 show. We also practiced our debate skills, whilst learning about stereotypes.

Good Morning Crookfur
The highlight of everyone’s week was performing Good Morning Crookfur in front of an audience filled with family. Everyone was super proud of themselves and enjoyed the experience!

This week in P6b we have been learning about…

Growth Mindset

Today we started our next health and well-being block which focuses on growth mindset. We reminded ourselves of the differences between a fixed and a growth mindset then started creating our own learning passports. This linked well to this week’s assembly theme which also explored the importance of having a growth mindset.

Scots Language

We have continued learning about Scots language through literacy and music. We studied Rabbie Burns, “Auld Lang Syne” and we now have a better understanding of the message of this song. During writing, we turned our Scots comic strips into imaginative stories and experimented with our use of Scots language.

Behind the Scenes Photos

As promised in last week’s blog, please enjoy some behind the scenes photos of our show rehearsals.

Everyone has received their tickets for the show and we can’t wait to see you all next week! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy new year! P6b enjoyed sharing their news after the winter break and have learned about new years traditions around the world. Everyone also created their own New Year’s resolutions and learned about SMART targets.

This week marked the beginning of our P6 show rehearsals. The teachers have been blown away by the learners commitment to learning lyrics, lines, dances and roles.  Last term we developed our drama toolboxes, exploring voice and movement. Rehearsals have provided learners with an opportunity to apply these skills. Next week I will post some behind the scenes photos from rehearsals.
