October signifies the start of Jewish new year celebrations. P6 have explored the tradition of blowing the Shofar horn to signify the start of Rosh Hashanah. They used a variety of art skills to make a shofar horn from paper. 
P6 Sharing the Learning Morning
Thank you to our grownups who made it along to visit the P6 showing on Friday. The class loved sharing their Sky Up Academy experience with you.
The movie trailers were entirely child led and each child took on an important role in a group to complete the challenge. Â ICT, literacy, expressive arts and Health & wellbeing skills were all developed on the day. Â We were very impressed with the cooperation in the teams too!
P6 Numeracy
P6 have been exploring number patterns this term in numeracy. They have been taking part in a mystery story and trying to use clues to solve a hidden message.  So far, we have explored the Vedic Square, Fibonacci Sequences and the Golden Ratio. This week we will be exploring number patterns found in circles.

Rights Respecting Schools
Following on from us achieving our Bronze award for Rights Respecting Schools at the end of last session, the start of the new term has seen us all dive right in to learning about our rights.
Each class has created a Class charter and chosen some rights they feel are most important to their class ethos. The children have learned about the role of the adults as ‘duty bearers’ in helping them access their rights. They have also discussed the role of the children as ‘rights holders’ and what this means.
There has also been lots of learning linked to emotions, friendships and wellbeing and the children have been exploring how this links to their rights. Please use the link below to have a look at all of our hard work.

Primary 5
Primary 5 explored the concept of buoyancy by making their own boats out of tin foil! They learned that buoyancy is the force that helps objects float in water. Each group designed a tin foil boat and then tested how many marbles it could hold before sinking. They had so much fun experimenting with different shapes and sizes of boats to see which one could hold the most marbles. Primary 5 discovered that if the boat was bigger and had more layers of tin foil, it could hold more marbles. Some boats could hold up to 205 marbles!
