Our final day at Pinkston was great fun, spent in the forest taking part in a survival game. We also enjoyed popcorn made on the campfire!
after completing the 3 day course we have achieved a few different certificates (yet to come!) for Glasgows urban adventure award and the national outdoor learning award.

As part of our Health and wellbeing lessons and  Rights Respecting Schools, we have been exploring DIGNITY, and what this means and how it is shown. The children created posters and acrostic poems to show their understanding and thoughts on Dignity.

We had another trip to the library, luckily this time it was dry for our walk! We got to choose books to take away and read and we also had the opportunity to explore non fiction books related to our Rainforest topic and participate in some rainforest activities.

We have been playing fun games in PE  to help our communication and cooperation, and using our imaginations for free play outside.

p6a had a great 2nd day at Pinkston! Team games in the forest , working on our cooperation and resilience , as well as communication and listening skills, and LOTS of problem solving! On the water we were kayaking, while playing ball games and races! It was wet but fun!

We had a fantastic first day at Pinkston Basin taking part in a pilot for Glasgows Urban Adventure Award, engaging in outdoor learning adventures and activities. We had so much fun learning to Kayak as well as building our confidence in the water. We also spent time in the forest for our NOLA (national outdoor learning award) taking part in various different activities and working together. We can’t wait for our next session on 6th June!

What a fantastic day we had on our trip to Blairdrummond!

This week we have been learning about speed, distance and time as part of our measure unit in maths. Trundle wheels and timers helped us have a go. We then used our knowledge of the formula to help us calculate and solve time problems involving ‘speed, distance and time’.

In PE we have been working on different ball skills. However that’s not all…as each week in PE we also focus on skills such as resilience, determination, communication, teamwork, listening, concentration and problem solving….but in a fun and active way.
The children are working very hard to develop these skills, and having fun!

We have been enjoying exploring different jobs and have been working really hard to develop the skills needed for different careers. We have loved learning more about advertising and creating our own adverts with the green screen, there is still some editing to be done! We have also been fashion designers or architects and house builders. The enthusiasm, teamwork and communication has been fab to see, well done p6.
