P6a have been exploring the Scots language this week. We enjoyed listening to the Scots story ‘Neeps and Tatties’ which led to great discussions about friendships and diversity. We used this book to explore some of the Scots language and worked together to work out what some of the words meant.
This week we also looked at some Scottish poetry, but first we had to try and translate the Scottish slang into English! The children each chose a Scottish poem and worked very hard with their partners to learn these for their recital this week! What Superstars speaking Scot’s!

P6 have enjoyed sharing our digital knowledge with p2. We have been showing them how to use Book Creator on the IPad to enhance and showcase their learning.

P6 have enjoyed learning about our Ancient Worlds this term, when finding out about life in Ancient Rome the children were inspired to create their own pictures and designs using the ancient Roman mosaic style.

P6 enjoyed the stem challenges linked to our Ancient Egyptians context for learning. The children showed great teamwork and problem solving skills when using a variety of resources to build pyramids and working chariots.

This term p6 have been reading the book ‘Coraline’ for our novel study. This week the children were able to create their own board game showing the journey of the character and challenges faced throughout the book. P6 showed a great knowledge of the book as well as fab creativity and teamwork. Well done!

When learning about the Ancient Egyptians p6 showed a keen interest in mummification. We decided to explore this further and have done an experiment to mummify a tomato! We will be recording the results.

P6 had a great trip to the library this week. We took part in some activities linked to our new topic and also browsed the library and chose books to borrow.

P6 have enjoyed using the kitchen so far this term. We have been measuring and mixing ingredients for our baking , using the oven and cleaning up after ourselves!
We are looking forward to more opportunities for food technology throughout the year.
