We went with our buddies for a walk around the local area. The P2s were looking for different types of houses and landmarks close to the school. P6 helped the P2s find these and ensured they were safe as they walked around the area. Then they had some fun in the Westerloch Playpark!

We took advantage of the lovely weather and did some chalk drawings outside. We drew around our partner’s body then drew and labelled organs inside the body.

In Art p6 have been learning about the European artist Pablo Picasso. Having looked at and discussed his work, pupils have gone on to abstract shapes and proportions to create their own self-portrait in the style of Picasso.

Today a group of 6th year Advanced Higher Biology pupils from the Anderson High School visited our class to tell us all about the systems of the human body as part of our class topic. We had a great time and we learned a lot! They also told us what they were planning to study following on from studying biology. Dentistry, pharmacy, neuro-science, being a doctor, animal biology and marine biology were all mentioned.
MC – “It was very interesting. I loved labelling some parts of the skeleton. I also learnt about the heart and the digestive system.”
BL – “It was nice to hear what they were planning to do after sixth year.”
LL – I found it quite cool seeing the x-rays and learning about the brain
RR – I really enjoyed seeing the x-rays and the bones in the body.”
EJ – “I liked seeing the numbers to test colour blindness.”
LL – “The illusions were cool. It was all interesting and I found out one of the smartest animals is a dolphin.”

We have been finding out about different kinds of angles. We went on an angles walk to see how many different angles we could find in the playground.

We took our buddies into the Wildlife Garden to get to know them a little better. It was lovely to see the classes playing so well together.
We have been discussing meta-skills and how they help with successful learning, life and work.
Primary 6 were developing their communicating, leading, collaborating and creativity meta-skills.

We met up with our buddies on Friday for the first time! The class were really excited to meet them. Each Primary 6 pupil read a book to their buddy then they listened to their buddy read their reading book.

In PE we have been doing basketball. We have been following the rules of no contact, no dribbling after stopping and 2 steps with the ball. We finished the block with games outside so had to play with adapted goals, shooting into hoops. We did get plenty of chances to practice out shooting inside in other weeks.

We have been finding out more about the skeletal system. We discovered the femur is the longest bone in the body. We decided to investigate if the person with the longest femur could jump the farthest. We all measured our femurs with the help of a partner. Then one by one we jumped! Mrs Hunter had the second longest femur but she jumped the shortest distance-98cm. One of the pupils with the shortest femur jumped the longest -1m 80cm. This opened up lots of discussion about how we could make our experiment fair – Should it be people of the same height? Age? Weight?
Meta-skills being used were curiosity and sense-making.
