Argument at Parliament! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On Thursday the 8^th February P6 went to Scottish Parliament because it is our topic.

As soon as we got there after a 1 ½ hour drive we had to get a security check to see if we had any weapons. We had to put all our bags and jackets through an x-ray machine and Miss MacLean had scissors on her so she got searched!

After the security check we got a tour around Scottish Parliament and learned lots of new things. Did you know that all the doors in Parliament have windows and there are around 200 saltires all around Parliament? We learned the most from Gregor who knew a lot of the answers to the tour guides questions! One of the person that designed the Parliament was from Barcelona!

After climbing loads of stairs, we finally reached the debating chamber in time for the First Ministers Questions. We had to stay very quiet the whole time and they talked about lots of different things including broadband, the police, housing and Prestwick Airport. There was also a part about a Shaun Woodburn and how is family wanted more information about sentencing.

For lunch we got to sit in a committee room. We met Fulton Macgregor who is our MSP and we got to ask him lots of questions on the microphones.

When we were leaving, we met Kezia Dugdale and even got out picture taken with her. She answered some of our questions very quickly because we had to get to the bus quickly!

McCoos 🐮

P6 have been looking at the Scottish artist Steven Brown. We were so inspired we decided to create our own. First of all we drew them using drawing pencils, then we used oil pastels to make them vibrant and colourful. 🎨

We gave all our McCoos Scottish names – we think they turned out really well!

Play Leaders

In P6 we have been training to be play leaders with Mr Sweeney.

We have been learning how to teach children games in a simple fun way.We had to deliver a session with the other P6 and learned different games to show the younger children when we become proper play leaders. Some of the games we did with Mr Sweeney were Chaos Tig, Traffic Lights, sharks and Islands and Olly Olly Octopus.

Last week Mr Sweeney taught us some first aid. He taught us what to do if somebody got badly burned or cut and how to put on slings.

This week we learned abut CPR, the recovery position and choking with some help from Lynne who used to be a Paramedic!

Here are some pictures of us having our play leader sessions and having lots of fun.

Snow! 🌨

Who says being in school is snow fun? ❄️

We went outside to play in the snow with the P5/6 and P7s.

We were trying to make snowmen, which turned out to be tricky as they were very heavy to try and lift on top of each other! ☃️

Learning about Judo from Miss Malcolm.

On Monday we had another new teacher in the class – Miss Malcolm!

She was in to teach us all about Judo. We learned a lot of things we didn’t know such as the order of the belts, the names of some of the moves/holds and some interesting facts about some famous Scottish Judoka.

It was perfect timing with Allan in to teach us more about Judo on Tuesday!

Judo Taster

Today we had a different kind of pe lesson. Alan from Strathkelvin Judo came to give us a little taste of judo and some of the moves. We were even throwing each other and holding each other down!!

Look at the fun we were having. And

Learning about Drones from Mr Davidson

Yesterday we had a new teacher in class – Mr Davidson!

He was teaching us all about the different kinds of drones and what they are used for. Did you know that in some places you can get Domino’s pizza delivered by drone?

After Mr Davidson showed us a Power Point we had to draw a picture from a drones point of view – it was quite tricky.

An Amazing Athletic Day

On the 28th November some P6 and 7s got to go to the Tryst Sports Centre for an athletics competition. We represented Chryston Primary for the athletics events against lot’s of other schools.

The day started with all the young athletes getting ready to get onto the bus, when it came we all got on and drove to St Barbaras. We picked up the athletes and from there and left for the Tryst. When we arrives we warmed up and got started.

First some people did javelin and they were good, next was standing long jump which was very fun, then it was vertical jump. I did that and it was very, very fun. After that we did speed bounce, I did not do it but it looked fun and hard! Afterwards was chest push – I had a shot it was ok. Lewis in P7 threw the ball the furthest from the whole day! Finally it was the triple jump.

In the afternoon we all did some relay, we won some of them! We raced against other teams. Some of the relays were just running but some were like obstacle courses!

Lewis P: “I enjoyed the different activities that we did. I liked that it was P6 and P7.”

Keavie: “I liked meeting people from different schools.”

Lorna: “When people had finished their event everyone got to have a go.”

Robyn: “I though it was fun and helped us with fitness.”

Alfie: “Can we do it more often?”

Ashton: “I enjoyed doing the 2×2 with Tyler.”

Jake: “I liked the way it was set up.”

Unfortunately we missed the finals by only a couple of places! Hopefully we will have better luck next year!

Terrific Tuesday

On Tuesday we had Mrs Fleck in. Usually we would do maths, I.D.L, Literacy and spelling but no there was a twist!…

Super spelling

In the morning we would do our spelling in our jotter and write it 3 times but NOO! It was so FUN!!! We got a piece of paper and wrote our spelling words in different fonts.

Dancing >.<

Yes you guessed it dancing. It was not as bad as you think. We did the military two step,virginia reel and dashing white sergeant.

After break we did we did maths which was making Christmas trees out of triangles it was fun. Then we collected the jazzy jars to decorate.

After lunch we got 10 jars each and stuck the tokens on the jars . This was an amazing day!!!!!!!!!
