This week, we will be starting our new topic, ‘Africa; We are All Born Free.’
Please think about what you already know about Africa and what you would like to learn in advance of our lessons this week.
Attached is a copy of your topic homework which will allow you to find out more about Africa.
A massive well done to all P6 children for holding an excellent Burns Supper! Your hard work paid off and you all delivered your speeches, poems and songs clearly, confidently and with great expression.
If any family members have more pictures/videos, please email them into the school, we’d love to share them!

Check out this new 3D animation of Robert Burns reciting one of his own famous poems.
The animation was made using a cast from his own skull!
Check it out Primary 6’s, and get practising your parts for next week’s Burns Supper!
Our creative Primary 6 children drew excellent charcoal portraits of Scotland’s famous poet, Robert Burns. I love your use of tone to make your drawings look more realistic!
We learned about an artistic technique called ‘hatching’ to create tone and texture in our detailed drawings of the famous birthplace of our national bard, Robert Burns!
The thatched roof looks so real, you could almost touch it!
P6’s have created a class fact file about our famous Scottish poet, Rabbie Burns! How do you like our window display?
We researched tartan and created our own kilted scotsmen!
Excellent singing from the children at our Service of Remembrance yesterday.
“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will Remember Them.”
Primary 5/6, 6/7 and 7 shared with us the importance of Remembrance Day at our whole school service this morning. Well done to the confident readers who read facts and poems clearly and sang songs enthusiastically and to all children for showing respect during the minutes silence. Thanks also to the Reverend Mark McKeown for joining us and sharing with us some words about Sacrifice.
We worked on the mediums of shape and colour to make this collaborative poppy art display.
