Science: Electricity

P6M were very busy in Science during Term 1 working on electrical circuit activities.

The pupils drew simple series circuits using the standard symbols to represent their knowledge of the components.  They were drawing upon on their resilience and problem solving skills to make changes to the circuits when the components did not work.

They made buzzers beep, lights glow, motors spin and created circuits with multiple components.  They included switches to allow them to control the components.

Lots of smiles and thumbs up to show successful circuits, super effort p6M!

 

Primary 6 Descriptive Writing

Primary 6 wrote excellent descriptions using only a picture as their stimulus. They had to decide what the boy in the window was looking at, and what his thoughts might be. We started off the lesson with a drawing activity and some vocabulary building.

Guess the Fairy Tale!

The boys worked very hard with Mrs Waugh today. They watched a short film and had to re-tell the story without any words! The success criteria was for someone to figure out the story and the correct order. Can you guess what the story is?

Literacy in the Calm Corner

Handwriting can be relaxing or it can be something that children find challenging. The boys were very confused this morning when our handwriting had no pens or pencils – instead we practised getting our hands ready for writing, with sand, playdough and paper scrunching and tearing. The boys also got to write in big letters on the promethean board.

Our calm book area has a lovely new set of Roald Dahl books thanks to Mrs Glen. Mrs Glen and Mr McCabe read these books with the children at snack time, and I think they both enjoy this as much as the pupils!
