Primary 6 are delighted to be back and enjoying being one the first class to experience our new Modular Units. We are loving the space and all of our new tables and chairs. We have settled in very well and are already working very hard.
Keep checking in on us and leave us lots of comments throughout the year to let us know what you think about our learning!
The Human Body
We have been learning some really good things about our body recently and we now know lots about our skeleton and muscles. We have also been focusing on how puberty affects and changes our bodies.
I have attached a link to a website which is really useful for the children to explore themselves and also for parents to use alongside your child.
I hope you find this of some use to you.
