Primary 6 pupils were asked to create a fun fitness circuit which would help younger pupils to practise a range of activities. In small groups Primary 6 chose an activity and the equipment needed. We had a practise run, trying each others activities and then thinking of adaptations that might be necessary for Primary 1 pupils to be able to succeed. Back in class we wrote instructions describing how to
Today we have been writing instructions on how to keep fit and went outside to set up a fitness circuit. Each group chose their equipment and set up an area in the playground. After ensuring their activity worked they explained it to the rest of the class. Next we had great fun rotating around the activities. Back inside we spent the afternoon writing instructions and hopefully soon we will be

The children have been very busy planning and preparing their own outdoor learning activities. They are now ready to be tested at our next Leadership Academy! Well done everyone!
Yesterday we were shown the 3 blind spots on a big truck at school. There were a few demonstrations including some pupils going inside the truck. It was a good day and was educational too. I enjoyed seeing the truck move and the shocked reactions of my classmates. Lucy P6.
During Relax Kids Primary 6 have been learning about the functions of different parts of the brain and how we can use this knowledge to develop a more positive individual / class ethos.
