P6 Successful Learners

Leave a reply
Primary 6 enjoyed watching their introduction to their science topic: Solids, Liquids and Gases. The scientists on YouTube have asked the pupils to investigate a variety of science based questions.
The pupils began creating their own experiments to change the state of a solid. We are excited to see our results when we conduct our experiments next week.

We love PE and really enjoy when we have coaches in to take lessons, so much so we decided to take on the role of the coach ourselves for our PE session on Wednesday.

P4/5 Managing our Emotions

Leave a reply

Primary 4/5 have been developing their own strategies to help them identify and regulate their emotions, after being inspired by Virginia Ironside’s “Huge Bag of Worries”.

P4/5 made their own worry monsters to keep with them at all times so that they are able to acknowledge, express and let go of their anxieties as the monster will  listen to, gobble up and hug away their worries.

We discussed other ways of sharing and releasing our worries, we reminded ourselves of our trusted adults to talk to, using music and meditation to relax and the one strategy we really enjoyed was imagining our worries inside a bubble, blowing them away and watching them float off into the sky.
