Term 3 has been extremely busy so far for our fabulous P.6 pupils!
Auld Lang Syne
We kick started the New Year with a focus on Burns and Scots Language. Pupils demonstrated commitment to learning an extract from ‘Tam O Shanter’, as well as the song, ‘Leezie Lindsay’. In class, pupils enjoyed exploring Scots poetry and went on to write their own lament, in the style of ‘Lament for a lost dinner ticket.’ Videos of some of these can be found below.
Primary 6 had a crucial role in our annual Burns Supper! Pupils were part of performances, recitals and served the food to our hungry guests. The hall and tables were decorated with artwork and crafts produced by our pupils. It was an unforgettable event! đŸ™‚
Jury’s Out!
Our pupils had the privilege of being involved in a ‘Mock Court’ project, working with other schools across Ayrshire. The pupils each had a specific role in the case and worked extremely hard to present their case and its evidence. Pupils attended Ayr Sheriff Court to take part in the mock trial and were outstanding in their contributions. We were extremely proud of our pupils, well done everyone for your group efforts!
Back in the day…
Primary 6 pupils put their heart and soul into rehearsing for the school show ‘Back in the day…Dancing through the decades’. A video montage of rehearsals can be found on our main glow page: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/sa/gardenroseprimary/gardenrose-videos/ It is hoped that perhaps the show will go on, once normality resumes! đŸ™‚
Out of this world!
Term two has been very busy in our class. Following on from our Space topic in term one, we kick started our term with a trip to the Science Centre in Glasgow. The class were amazed by the planetarium and enjoyed being taken on a journey through space in the comfy reclining chairs!
We also visited the iMAX 3D cinema and watched a short film on ‘Our Beautiful Planet’. Pupils enjoyed looking at our planet from the ISS as well as learning about the effects of climate change. The trip was a lovely way to consolidate our learning and learn some facts we perhaps didn’t know.
Time travellers
This term we’ve taken ourselves back in time to the 16th Century, learning about ‘Mary Queen of Scots’. Pupils have explored a timeline of significant events during Mary’s lifetime and how her reign affected Scotland’s history.
Microorganisms
Pupils have enjoyed pulling on their lab coats and exploring the topic of microorganisms. We have explored how quickly mould grows in a variety of conditions and carried out experiments in class.
Christmas Celebrations
Pupils have enjoyed researching how countries around the world celebrate Christmas in our ‘Christmas Around the World’ RME topic. Pupils have eagerly shared their own family traditions and reflected on traditions from around the world.
The class made personalised snow globes and edible snowflakes to sell at the Christmas Craft Fayre. Pupils successfully managed budgets, calculated profits and enjoyed being festive and creative!
Talk for Writing
We’ve been developing the way we write in class, taking on the ‘Talk for Writing’ model. Pupils have enjoyed dipping their toe in an all-encompassing method of exploring texts and writing. We have been studying the story named ‘The Red Eye’ and imitated the story, innovated the story and then independently applied our knowledge and skills. We are looking forward to further embedding this in the new year.
