November | 2018 | Class blog for primary 5/6

As part of our Europe topic we have been looking at the different landmarks across the continent. We have been looking at the how they can show a nation’s history and culture as well as telling us more about the geography of different countries. For our technology lesson we have been designing and creating our own landmarks by using problem solving and teamwork skills.

Our Eiffel Tower masterpieces required us to design a model using only the materials available and doing so in just 45 minutes. Primary 5/6 were showing off their impressive teamwork and listening abilities to really come up with some fantastic creations.

Finishing touches.

All working hard to make their designs come to life.

Last Wednesday primary 5/6 along with everyone at Anderston Primary enjoyed a spooktacular Halloween party. We had a Halloween parade, games and we even made our own potions! Everybody had a lot of fun and the costumes were incredible.

Aaminah – “We made lots of potions and made a big explosion! It was very hard to clean up.”

Swara – “We had amazing costumes. My favourite was probably Liliana’s who was Cleopatra.”

Liliana – “I liked doing the pictures for the parade.”

Joshua -“I enjoyed the parade. I liked all the costumes and the games.”

Adam – “It was very fun when we had the party in our class. The games were my favourite.”

Titus – “I liked the party because it was fun.”

Nasser – “I loved when I won best costume. I was Harry Potter.”

Zaki – “I liked the party because I got sweets and it was the only time I got to wear my mask.”
