P6 Community Proposal Models

This term, Primary 6 have been investigating the local area. We carried out research and collected evidence to identify what the strengths and areas for development were for Pumpherston and Uphall Station. Using this as inspiration, we came up with proposals for things that could be added to or changed in the local community. We wrote letters to West Lothian Council to persuade them to introduce our ideas and made 3D models of our proposals.

Suggestions included: car parks, cycle paths, shops, a community centre, a skate park, a swimming pool and extra maintenance for existing buildings in the community.

Here are some of our 3D models:

P6 Blog

This week’s blog comes to you from Jasmin and Lauren…

This week we were making 3D umbrellas by folding paper like origami. We glued them to an A4 Spring background.

In PE with Mrs Cullum we have been learning how to bowl in cricket. This week we learned how to underarm bowl and played a game where we had to bowl to a partner and get the ball to bounce on a target.

In PE with Ms Pender we have been focusing on running and throwing for athletics. We played Tom and Jerry for running and had a throwing competition.

P6 River Models

P6 have been learning about rivers this term and this week we have been getting creative! First, we used clay to make 3D models showing the course of a river from source to mouth. We included features like valleys, tributaries, meanders, floodplains, levees, estuaries and deltas. Then we used a variety of instruments to make a sound story to depict a river’s course from source to mouth. Take a look at our models in the pictures below and see if you can identify some of the features of a river.

Primary 1/2

We have been learning about chicks this week. We were drawing chicks today; we drew yellow dots and then we put on legs, eyes, beak and made every chick a little bit different.  In our groups we made big pictures to show what we know about the life cycle of a chicken, and what they need to grow big and strong.

We were learning about caring people as part of Rights Respecting schools. We know children have the right to live with their parents or someone who cares for them.

P6

Here are the P6 winners of the Commonwealth Games Poster competition.  Miss Speirs found it so difficult to pick one winner we got special permission from Game On Scotland to send more entries in. Well done to the winners. A selection of other posters will be on display in the school for everyone to see. The winning posters will be sent to be displayed in the Athletes’ Village for the competitors and officials who stay in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games this summer.
