P6 Responsible Roles
As part of developing independence and responsibility with our senior pupils we are asking the Primary 6s as they enter into Primary 7 to apply for a Responsible Role in the playground. They will have the opportunity to apply for a post over the next week in class. Below is a description of the different jobs.

Primary 1 have green fingers!
We are Learning about the different parts of a plant and what they need
Primary 1 have been busy this week learning about the different parts of a plant and what they need to grow. We planted our own beans and are looking forward to watching them grow.
We know what a plant needs to grow:
Eva: They need sun to grow
Kenzie: They need water
Maisie: They need to be in soil
Harrison: When the flowers get bigger we need to move them into a bigger pot.
Emotion Works with P6
LI: To develop the skills to manage our emotions
SC:
I can … describe what an emotional trigger is
I can… describe the effect of an emotional trigger
I can… use emotional vocabulary
I can…. draw in detail
The children took part in a class discussion about the effect an emotional trigger had on their mood, describing how their mood changed after the emotional trigger. We looked specifically at emotional triggers which changed our moods from happiness to sad / angry. First we made a word bank of the
appropriate emotional vocabulary. The children created a picture to show their mood before the emotional trigger, then describe the emotional trigger and finally showed the change in their emotions after the emotional trigger. Once the drawing was complete the children had to use at least 5 examples of emotional vocabulary for each emotion. Some children presented their pictures to the class and discussed their change in emotions.
