This week in Primary 6A!

Primary 6a has enjoyed a productive and engaging week across all areas of the curriculum. In literacy, the students sharpened their writing skills through a focus on recount writing and practiced creating concise summaries using their current class novel as source material.
Their mathematics learning involved practical applications of geometry, as they worked diligently to find the area and perimeter of various shapes using standard metric measurements. In Health and Wellbeing, the focus was on developing essential problem-solving skills for everyday situations.
The most hands-on learning occurred during their ongoing water topic. This week, the class participated in an interactive group project where they designed and constructed functional homemade water filters. This practical experiment provided a tangible demonstration of how impurities and debris can be effectively and quickly removed from water.

🌟 Primary 6A Weekly Update! πŸš€


 

✍️ Literacy Focus: To the Moon and Back

 

This week, Primary 6A has been channeling their inner astronauts! We’ve been concentrating on sharpening our recount writing skills. The class took on an exciting challenge: writing a detailed recount from the unique perspective of Neil Armstrong during the moon landing. They’ve worked hard to use strong descriptive language and structure their writing clearly.


 

πŸ“ Numeracy Focus: Metric Measurement Mastery

 

In Maths, our focus shifted to measurement. We delved into the world of metric measurement, learning not just how to measure with accuracy but also how to confidently convert between different metric units (e.g., millimeters to centimeters, meters to kilometers). This is a crucial skill for real-world problem-solving!


 

🌍 Topic Work: Water Around the World

 

Our Topic work explored the vital resource of water. We compared and contrasted water uses in developed and developing countries, specifically looking at the differences and similarities between Scotland and Sudan. This has sparked some fantastic discussions about resource management and global citizenship.


 

🎨 Art Corner: Cubist Creatures

 

To get into the Halloween spirit, the class got creative in Art! Inspired by the famous artist Picasso and the Cubism movement, Primary 6A produced some truly unique and spooky masterpieces: a series of cubist Dracula portraits! They used geometric shapes and multiple perspectives to create abstract, eye-catching Halloween art.


We’ve had a busy and productive week! Please ask your child to share their Neil Armstrong recount or tell you about their Picasso-inspired Dracula!

Beatson Santa Dash 2025 – Help Us Reach Our Target

Two years ago, our school community came together to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts countless lives in different ways, and the Beatson continues to make an incredible difference through its compassionate care and unwavering support.

The Beatson Cancer Charity works alongside the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre – one of the leading cancer care facilities in the UK – providing vital funding for specialist staff, innovative research, and improved patient wellbeing. From emotional support and complementary therapies to cutting-edge treatments and clinical excellence, the charity ensures that patients and their families receive the best possible care at every stage of their journey.

We are proud to continue supporting the Beatson and the life-changing work they do for so many across Scotland.

This year, some of our amazing staff will be taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash 2025 with Beatson Cancer Charity on Sunday the 7th December at Glasgow Green. Please help us to raise our fundraising target by donating to our Just Giving fundraising page. Click on the link below to access –

This week in P6a!

This week P6a have made strong progress across the curriculum.

In Maths, they have been consolidating their understanding of place value by ordering and partitioning numbers, while also applying strategies for addition and subtraction in both written and mental calculations. They practised telling the time using both analogue and digital clocks, linking their skills to real-life problem solving.

In Literacy, pupils developed spelling strategies to apply patterns and rules in their independent writing. Through their comprehension work on The Girl Who Stole an Elephant, they practised finding and using evidence from the text to justify their answers, and they explored how explanation texts are structured to make information clear for a reader.

In HWB, learners identified and discussed a range of emotions, recognising how these can influence thoughts and actions, and considered strategies to manage feelings in different contexts.

In STEM, as part of the Primary Engineering Project, pupils applied creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to design an invention that could benefit society today.

Our Week in P6A!

Primary 6A have had a busy and productive week, deeply engaged in developing their skills across the curriculum. In writing, they have been focusing on explanation texts, learning how to clearly structure their ideas and use precise language to inform their readers effectively. During reading, they’ve been exploring their class novel with enthusiasm, using context clues to make thoughtful predictions about characters and plot developments, which has helped to sharpen their inference skills. In numeracy, the class has been revising place value, working hard to consolidate their understanding of large numbers and their importance in everyday math. Their hard work and focus are really starting to shine through in all areas of learning.
