P6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we had a visit from Zoe Gordon who shared her knowledge of languages with us. She will be working with us over the coming weeks to further develop our knowledge of French and Spanish. This week we worked on getting to know Spain and basic Spanish greetings.

In Science, Mrs McJimpsey worked with us on our knowledge of forces. She challenged us to create a Tin Foil Boat which was able to float on water. We then had to add one penny at a time onto the boat, counting them as we went along to see how long it would take for the boat to sink. We really enjoyed this activity!

Today we have went over the Mini-Health and Wellbeing Champs application. We have been asked to think about if we would like to apply for this role which will go with us into P7. The applications will be handed out on Monday 16th May 2022 and must be returned by Monday 30th May 2022. This can be completed at home however we advise the children to complete this themselves.

Well done to our certificate winners for this week, Sophie-Rose and Finlay.

We have been learning what makes an effective summariser and predictor using our class novel to help us with this. We created a summary bubble and a prediction arrow.

 

We have been learning about the Circulatory system. We have been learning about how the system works and the role in which this plays in our human body. We investigated the heart and highlighted the importance of this in our body.

In Numeracy this week, we have been reinforcing our knowledge of division. We used the outdoor area to show off our knowledge and understanding.

We have been focusing on FRIENDSHIPS this week in HWB. We have discussed what is required to be a friend, what actions are expected in a friendship and the roles in which people can play as part of this.

P6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we have tried to link our topic to all areas of our learning (where possible).

We have been learning about the Respiratory System and how this works effectively to help us live. We were set a STEM challenge to see if we could re-create the breathing system using a set amount of materials after identifying all of the organs involved and their purpose. We had lots of fun with this task!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

P6 Weekly Update

This week we have been learning about Scottish Culture during our mini topic. We were introduced to Robert Burns and explored many aspects of his life using digital technology. We were asked to note down all of our information in a creative way and share this with the class. This topic allowed us to explore capital cities in Scotland which tied into places that Robert Burns visited.

During our mini topic, we have been asked to investigate The Scottish Colourists. We have chosen one of the famous Scottish Colourists and completed a fact file all about them. We were then asked to re-create a famous piece of artwork by John Peploe called Pink Roses, Chinese Vase.

We have completed a pencil drawing and will finish this using John Peploes’ favourite technique of oil painting. We will post pictures of these when they have been completed next week for you.
