We have been working hard the past few weeks in P6b!

We have been hard at work on our novel studies through our literacy work.
We have been learning lots about our topic, the Scottish Wars of Independence. Over the past few weeks, we have learned lots about the life and experiences of William Wallace. We have also learned about and written fantastic recounts of the Battle of Stirling Bridge!

We have been thoroughly enjoying Gaelic football and have been working hard to improve our skills over the past few weeks.

On Thursday, we dressed up for World Book Day and enjoyed taking part in activities in relation to this.

Also, we learned how to bake empire biscuits! They were delicious!

As part of our Pets and Animals topic, we worked at home with our parents to make a 3D habitat for an animal of our choice. We think our little animal friends would be delighted to live in one of these houses.

Here we are enjoying some play area time with our friends. It’s been busy at the Vets recently but luckily we have some skilled vets and nurses to look after the animals.

During P.E time we have been learning lots of different balances. This week we focused on balances with a partner. Don’t we look like professional gymnasts?
