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 😀

Today we have been experimenting with the properties of light. We have been investigating translucent and opaque materials and shadows.

We have been learning about sound waves and how some animals use echolocation to communicate. This is us using practical experiments to see how sound waves travel through water.

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 🎅❤️

It was fantastic to see the class explore our maths resources and use them to create games and group activities to practise a range of skills and challenge themselves.

This week we used details from our research to make a scale model of distance from sun and size of planets.

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!🌟
