As part of challenge Friday, P5,6,7 had to play a game of Chinese whispers. They had to work in teams of 4/5 to draw a Halloween themed picture. Only one person in the group was given the original image and they had to pass on their instructions by whispering to each team member with one person drawing. It was a real challenge!
* The energy drinks challenge.
* Learning about long multiplication in maths
! To play corner football with Mrs Williamson
* Our first star is science when we were making electrical circuits and we managed to get 25 fans working at the same time.
* The second star is Challenge Friday where we had to pass polos only using straws in our mouths.
* Our wish is to do P.E. with Mrs Williamson
P6/5 have been really excited this week learning about electricity. We discussed the different kinds of energy and where it comes from and we created posters showing forms of energy. We then created basic electric circuits. Pupils were then set a challenge to build a potato clock. All groups were successfully able to get an electrical charge which turned the clock on, although there wasn’t enough charge to make them work. Some pupils persevered and experimented with digging out the potato to make it more ‘juicy’ and others tried to coat the copper in different ways. Others challenged themselves to create the largest circuit of fans they could. The whole class became involved and one group managed to create a circuit involving one switch, 5 batteries and 25 fans!
Most of Primary 7/6 were set a homework task of Creative Captain for their reading novels this week.
The effort by all was outstanding! Here are some examples of the models that were made…
1st Star – Performing on front of each other and listening to everyone sing. We are a talented bunch!
2nd Star – Reading each other’s Space Projects and finding out what other people had to say about our own project!
Wish – To find out what the school show is going to be on this year!
P6/5 have been practising the literacy circles roles before beginning their proper circles. This week each pupil was given the task of creative captain. This is a favourite task as all pupils have the opportunity to show their creativity. The homework produced this week included videos, models, drawings, youtube videos, powtoons and news reports. The standard was very high. Well done everyone

Primary 7/6 have been revising how important it is to have a growth mindset. We discussed the differences between a growth and fixed mindset and how having the right attitude can help you to succeed. We then painted self portraits of ourselves in the style of Picasso and wrote growth mindset statements to help us be resilient when we are finding something difficult…
