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.

We have been working with the PEPASS team, so far we have been focussing on our throwing and passing skills with different balls and this week we were learning some golf skills. It has been good fun!

Primary 6 have been exploring job opportunities, finding our more about different jobs and what they do as well as what skills are required . We have also looked at routes into different careers.
Through our creative enquiry time this week we have focussed on 4 different jobs , investigated what is involved and had a go ourselves. We also enjoyed the careers Fayre where we got to her from lots of different professionals who shared about their jobs.

This week we have been working on cooperation and resilience. We played games together to help with our learning on percentages in maths. We also worked cooperatively in PE .

Showcase     It has been a busy few weeks for p6. We worked very hard to put on our Showcase, focussing on article 28 and 29 of the UNCRC exploring our right to an education and how eduction should enhance our skills and talents. We focussed on all the skills and talents that we have developed and how we must persevere and never give up, we got to showcase all the things that make us the very best ‘me’ . We enjoyed singing and dancing and presenting our learning.
it was lovely to see the children’s confidence grow!

Enterprise. Then it was time to focus on our enterprise project!   We took part in the Virgin money ‘make £5 grow’ challenge. We had to work in teams to come up with a ‘business’ we decided on an Easter Fayre where we could buy things to make and sell at our stalls. This took a lot of teamwork and cooperation as well as working on our budgeting and marketing skills. The aim was to make a profit and after hosting our very busy Easter Fayre this week, we achieved our goal and after paying back Virgin Money, we made a profit of over £550!  A fantastic achievement after a lot of hard work!

P6 have been learning about fairtrade, focussing on how climate change impacts the farmers and people who reply on agriculture for a living. We also looked at at how everyone in the production chain of our food is paid and the fairness of this.

it has been great to see the children so invested in this and so inquisitive throughout our learning!

P6a have had a very successful day celebrating diversity! We had fantastic discussions, sang songs and wrote our own acrostic poems to share our ideas on diversity. Our teacher was very proud of us! ⭐️

P6a have been exploring coding recently . We have enjoyed coding simple games and coding the spheros to navigate paths that we made. It was lovely to see great teamwork and cooperation as well as perseverance when it was tricky!
