This week pupils have been preparing fact files on planets. They loved using all our STEM resources to help them research.

Today we discussed what it is like to have less than others and what we can do to support people living in poverty. We listened to a woman called Marie who often worries about money and the pressures this can have on her family. We all agreed that it is so important to treat everyone with kindness and not to brag about our possessions, as we can never be sure of the financial situations of others.

 

 

Primary 6b we’re lucky enough to welcome one of our parents into the class to discuss her job as an accountant. She spoke about her job and gave examples of accounting in everyday life. Thanks you😊😊

P6 had the task of creating the tallest, sturdiest tower, only using spaghetti and marshmallows. The class worked in groups and completed a plan, adapting the plan on the way when needed 👷

In Art with Mrs McIntyre, the class have been learning about John Byrne. They created their own portraits in the style of Byrne, and will continue this in the upcoming weeks 🖍

Today we were learning about Charles Rennie MacKintosh, and creating work inspired by him. The class added a modern twist to their art by using bright colours, but still  keeping hints of his traditional style. The outcomes were incredible! 🎨😀

Today we started to celebrate Maths Week Scotland with some tricky problems and discussions around the ways we use maths in our daily lives.

This week we have started a research project about the Solar System.  Pupils have been grouped into planets to conduct research. In the coming weeks they will be presenting their findings to the class.

Congratulations to the star writers of P6b! Keep up the fantastic work 📚

We tried out different activities to regulate our emotions. Many made us feel calm and relaxed. We will try to use these at home too!
