This term, we have been focusing on developing our musical skills, including learning to play the glockenspiel. Today we received our first music lesson from two S6 pupils from Eastwood High School. They taught us about orchestras, the instrument families and we even got a chance to try their musical instruments.

This week P6C welcomed their buddies to their PE lesson to share their learning. The learners have been learning about rhythm and they can combine several dance moves in a sequence. Miss McNeil and Mrs Docherty were very impressed with how well the learners danced the Gay Gordon’s and the Virginia Reel.

Primary 6’s current learning journey is focusing on engineering. The learners have created engineering firms and they are working towards building a new sporting venue for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Thank you to two of our amazing volunteers who have visited the school to speak to the learners about their careers in engineering, the meta skills they use within their work and the link between engineering and maths. It has helped the learners gain a better understanding of how their learning relates to the real world.

Next week is Safer Internet Day. In preparation for Tuesday, P6 invited their buddies to their classroom to discuss how to stay safe when researching online. They showed their buddies how to use Kiddle (a child friendly search engine) and helped them to find facts. The P1’s will use this to help them write a fact file about their favourite animal next week.
