P6 Weekly Update

This week we created a piece of Christmas artwork to be displayed outside Miss Finlayson’s office.

Miss Walkingshaw’s challenged us to re-create the ‘Grinch Pinch’ from her favourite movie – The Grinch. We focused on texture, colour and detail when creating our pieces of artwork. We also ran a separate competition which was to design the best Grinch.

P6 Classroom Learning Update

Today in class we have been learning about Hinduism. We explored the festival of Diwali to find out more about how Hindu’s celebrate, why they celebrate and create our very own Diva Lamps.

We will wait for them to dry overnight and then we will decorate them tomorrow.

Nalan was our expert today, showing us examples of real Diva Lamps alongside giving us tips on how to create our own.

Primary 6 Weekly Update

There is now a home learning grid based upon on our class novel ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio on our Primary 6 Microsoft Teams page. The children have been shown the grid and we discussed the activities.

This week we continued learning about significant individuals through Black History month. We explored the impact that Martin Luther King Jr had on the past and present day. We created our own dreams like he did which led into a piece of artwork from one of his iconic speeches.

 

Primary 6 Weekly Update

Maths Week Scotland

This week in Primary 6 we have been using digital technology to further enhance our learning of Information Handling. We created different types of graphs and simple pie charts to show our knowledge gained this term. We collected our own data based upon our own interests, collated our findings in a table which was then displayed in a way of our choosing.

Primary 6 Update

Literacy (Class Novel)

This week in Primary 6 we have been getting used to our weekly routines. We have been introduced to our new class novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio where we were asked to predict what might happen.  This term we will be focusing on prediction where we will develop our skills in this area.

Topic – The Jacobites

We were introduced to our new topic for this term: The Jacobites. We shared what we knew already and what we want to learn so the topic can be shaped around our questions.

Primary 6 Class Charter

During our first week in Primary 6 we worked on ‘Building Our Community’. This is where we were reminded of school routines, expectations and standards, alongside getting to know our new teacher.

As part of this we created our Class Charter which displays our understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which applies to all children. We recapped about ‘Rights Holders’ and ‘Duty Bearers’ which we then added to our charter.

We worked as a class to pick UNCRC rights that we felt were most important to us and  matched our shared vision for this year.

Our shared vision for this year is displayed in our classroom.
