August came and went and now September and Autumn is here.

Primary 6 have been working on Growth mindset and learning about how they can grow intelligence.

“I really enjoy Science and when we made the brain hats and learned about the two sides of the brain it gave me an idea about when I’m thinking about things and doing things where in the brain it comes from. The activities we did were fun science with art and design.”

We made nerve cells out of Plasticine to show that brain activity has connections when the animal or person is able to play with others or play with toys. (Megan)

We go swimming every Thursday morning at Eastwood and it is so much fun. Even on the bus it is fun as we sing songs and spend time with friends.

We did Islamic geometric patterns in art and maths.

Here is Isla showing her first finished stage.

“We were creating some kind of water vehicle such as boats, sub marines, whatever we wished to build with Lego. We wrote a paragraph about it, what it was, what it did and if it did a job.”

Very proud of all the children at swimming so far. Its going great and they are all being very brave in the pool and giving it their best!

This week was exciting as we had our first swimming session.

“I enjoyed it because at the start we all got to show our skills to everyone and at the end we all got to jump into the big pull together!” Isla Mckinnon.

The children were amazing at the swimming – all challenging themselves to swim well and improve even though it was their first lesson.

“This week I have liked going into small groups and deciding how to perform a poem together. We did a kind of rap which was fun and cool! I also liked it when the Primary 7s were out of school and the Primary 6s got to be monitors for the day, it made me feel good.”  Ruaridh Robertson.

As the weather was rotten on our PE day we did some just dance in the class which caused hilarity and great groovy moves.
