P6/7 participated in the Woodlands Fairtrade Eco Cooking Challenge. We used fairtrade ingredients to make chocolate brownies with our own little twist. They were delicious. 🍫

Today P6/7 carried out another experiment demonstrating friction using a bottle, rice and a pencil. It was like magic; we made bottles float.

In the afternoon, some pupils went to Machanhill Primary School to lead the learning to P7 of our friction experiment from yesterday. They done a fantastic job and should be super proud 🌟!

Today P6/7 were experimenting with friction and gravity using wooden blocks on different materials. There was great teamwork and pupils recorded their results and explained which came first/ last and why.

Last Friday, we had a visit from the NSPCC who were raising awareness about speaking out.

P6/7 have been continuing demonstrating their abilities using the equipment.

We all had a great time at Snowball Madness!
On Friday, we had a visit from the British Transport Police, explaining the importance of keeping ourselves safe near train tracks and the dangers.

More photos from last week creating rockets and land yachts ☺️🛥🚀

Today, P6/7 were very lucky today and had a visit from a South Lanarkshire school who led the learning through different STEM activities. We created pneumatic rockets 🚀.

P6/7 have been settling in well to our new class😊. We have doing lots of getting to know you activities to begin to get to know one another and beginning to work well as a team 👭👬.

We have been playing different mental maths games including multiplication relay in teams and working on being supportive and encouraging to our peers👍.

We created our own maps of our own imaginary island/ kingdom. We incorporated our likes/ talents/ hobbies and personalities into our designs to personalise them. This then became the setting of our narrative writing and we planned out our story line and developed our main characters. To help us with our story lines we had talking pairs, mixing up groups to help us brainstorm more ideas 💡. Miss Park cannot wait to see our short stories next week! 📖  🌟

PE days are Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s 👟🏸🏀⚽️ Please remember to bring a water bottle and a PE kit if possible.

Homework will be given out to all pupils very soon.
