Friday 21st November 2025: Growth Mindset

This week we continued our health and wellbeing focus of learning about growth mindset.  We understand the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset.  Our learning this week has been about parts of the brain and how they can influence our behaviour.  We created models of the brain using knex to show the prefrontal cortex (the wise leader), the amygdala (the guard dog), the hippocampus (the librarian) and the neurons (the connections).

Thank you to everyone who visited our class on Wednesday and Thursday this week. The learners really enjoyed sharing their learning and classroom with you.

Have a lovely weekend!

Friday 14th November 2025: Modern Languages

Over the last few weeks, Primary 6 have been lucky to have several special guests. Our guests have supported us to develop our language learning skills within French and British Sign Language (BSL)! Thank you to the S6 pupils from Eastwood High School who prepared and delivered very interactive and fun experiences over the last three weeks.  We will continue our fantastic BSL lessons with Emma in November and December.

Friday 7th November 2025: Sky Academy Visit

This week P6C had a very exciting week! Mr Atkinson planned a fantastic trip to the Sky Academy Studios in Livingstone. This was an excellent experience for the learners to showcase their learning of AI, whilst also having the opportunity to apply their meta skills and gain first hand experience of working within tv production.

A special thank you to the staff at the Sky Academy for making us feel so welcome and to all the parent volunteers who very kindly gave up their time to support this experience.
