Pupils in Primary 6a and Primary 6 were using laptops in Numeracy & Maths to develop their skills in Time. They researched Flight Information on the Glasgow Airport website and worked out when flights were/are due to arrive at their destination.
‘It was really fun because we were doing maths in a real life scenario’. – Lewis
‘It was good fun because I like doing active maths and this ties in perfectly with what I’m learning just now’. – Dan H
P6 really enjoyed their Generation Science workshop this week. It involved programming a robot to perform a variety of commands, helping them to achieve different challenges. We now have some budding future programmers!
Primary 6d have been learning about sensory organs. Today we took part in an activity to see what it was like if one of our sensory organs did not work as well as it could. We realised that our other sensory organs would have to over compensate help us navigate safely. A lot of trust was put in our partners.
P6d wrote some happy stories and read them to P1b. They also brought some photos in and shared some of their happy memories with the children.
Primary 6a were consolidating their learning with the laptops this morning!
“Education City and Sumdog are great fun!They really help me go over the skills I learn in class”. Christina
Well done to our school K’nex winners who made it to the next round and today participated in the cluster challenge.
Excellent effort from Luke & Gordon who were the runners up after a very close competition.
Stephen Hawking Experiment Thursday 15th March
Primary 6a were sad to hear of the death of Stephen Hawking. Primary 6a used the STEM room to learn a little more about Black Holes.
A black hole is a place where gravity has got so strong that it pulls matter down into it and doesn’t let any of this matter escape, not even light. Anything too close to a black hole will be sucked down into it and trapped forever.
We carried out an experiment with balloons and tinfoil to understand black holes better!
The experiment showed how gravity compresses the star’s matter around the collapsed core (balloon). The dead star has the same amount of matter, but it is compressed to a small point. This means it has greater density than the original star.
This is how a black hole can be formed. The dense ball of matter exerts a large gravitational pull on all objects around it.

They particularly enjoyed creating a new and interesting book character and their buddy reading time with P2c.
P6b enjoyed reading to P2b this morning for World Book Day.
