Primary 6 13.4.18

It true primary six style our first week back has been a busy one! We hope everyone had an enjoyable break and are full of energy for the term ahead! It’s been full speed ahead to prepare our assembly which will take place next Friday. Our classrooms have turned into script writing havens with words and scenes flying about.
“ Space : the final frontier…to boldly go where no man has gone before” . Primary six have begun to explore our solar system . We managed to create a dizzy yet impressive display of sun, earth and moon and their relative orbiting patterns! The pupils asked some interesting questions which we look forward to discovering the answers to over our coming science lessons.
We linked our art lesson this week to our science topic and the pupils created new chocolate bars relating to space , some of their ideas where ‘out of this world’ . Look out Mars and Galaxy bars you may have more rivals.
In maths this week we worked like an Egyptian and looked at how to do sums with hieroglyphs. Pupils had a great time drawing the symbols and doing sums, using all their maths and artistic skills to produce some great hieroglyphs, and some very abstract interpretations of frogs!
