Primary 6b received a visit from Greg and Rachel to teach us all about athletics! We participated in hurdles, long jump, javelin and relay races! What a fab taster session 🏃‍♀️

Primary 6b have started their gymnastics unit in PE. We have been exploring stretches, balances and sequences! In order to do this safely, we need to be trusting of each other, show responsibility, listen to instructions, and try different methods that suit us! Here are some highlights 🤸‍♂️🧘‍♀️

For outdoor learning, P6 were challenged to create a Victorian scene. This group decided to make a Victorian Classroom, with a headmaster’s desk and tables! Great collaboration and imagination team 😀

Primary 6a&b have been learning about the act of giving throughout Advent, and were given a special mission from Jolly and Joy to donate to a local food bank throughout December. The year group received a visitor, Ken, from Barrhead food bank, and we learned all about the good work that goes on in our community. So special 🎅❤️

For our Scottish Artists Topic, the class explored ‘The Slab Boys’ by John Byrne. They worked in groups to act out a scene from the play, focusing on facial expression, voice volume, tone and accent, and movement. The groups then performed their scene in front of the class.

We continued our learning outside, by creating our own sets for ‘The Slab Boys’. Fantastic work primary 6🎭🎬

After a week of exploring the Robert Burns poem ‘Tam O’Shanter’, P6b wrote from the point of view of Tam or a Witch, and described their experiences in the poem, and what happened next. We then had some fantastic volunteers, who read their writing out to the class. We are so proud of their confidence and creativity. 😊

We are progressing well in our tennis unit, exploring how we pass with accuracy to our partners. We also practiced our batting skills in a game of rounders which we loved!

During wet plays in primary 6, we have been LOVING playing and creating with KAPLA! A group from the class created a tall, stable tower and they were so proud that we had to share!🌟

For Halloween, P6b created spooky illustrations of pumpkins, frankensteins and witches using colourful oil pastels on black paper. This technique made the pictures pop, and we were so impressed with everyone’s efforts 🧙🏻‍♀️🧟‍♀️🎃

Kevin from East Renfrewshire Young Carers came to visit the class. He spoke about what it means to be a young carer, and how young carers across Scotland can be supported. The class were keen to ask more questions, and participated well in discussions 😄
