A group of Primary 6&7 students went along to Meadowbank stadium on Monday 3rd November to represent our school at the competition. We competed in a variety of track and field events. Unfortunately, we didn’t place in the top 3 schools on the day but we were the highest scoring school in some of the events. I am very proud of what we achieved and the sportsmanship we demonstrated on the day.

P6 ended the “Our Prehistoric World” topic this week. We finished this by looking at how we know about prehistoric animals as well as how Early Humans lived. We looked at Skara Brae, an ancient village found in Orkney and fossils that are discovered by palaeontologists. We then collected leaves from outside and created our own fossil rubbings, such like the ones that scientists may make of fossils.
Well done Primary 6, this has been a very interesting topic and you have all put your best efforts into it!

This week P6 had a great time celebrating Diwali. We made different Diwali art and headed along to see the amazing dance performance. This was a great celebration of different cultures and P6 wang to say a huge congratulations to everyone who took part in the performance!🎊🎆

This week for black history month, P6 looked at the work and life of Wangari Maathai. We were very inspired by her courage and the work she did in Kenya to improve the life of the residents there. We created our own p6 “Green Belt Tree” much like the movement Wangari created. The children created messages on the leaves of how they could help the world, or of how they were inspired by Wangari Maathai🌿

Well done primary 6. Enjoy the holidays and I’ll see you on the 21st🥳
This week in PE with Miss Christie P6 looked at different sport skills. Some of these we have learnt over past couple weeks and others we will look at after the holidays. We also played a fun shooting game to end the lesson. On Tuesday with Ms Armitage P6 played drop kick rounders.

As this week is Maths Week Scotland, we took the opportunity to learn maths in different ways. The theme is “Wild Maths” so most of our lessons took place outside.
On Monday we went into the playground and created our own place value charts with chalk. We then used natural resources to represent numbers using the chart, whilst also working on our rounding skills.
On Wednesday we also headed into the playground with rulers and meter sticks. We were finding objects in the playground to measure and then working out their perimeter.
Well done primary 6 for your effort in maths this week!👏🌱
This week P6 have had an excellent week of learning. We have focussed on the plot of narrative writing, powers of 10 and we have started our new spelling words.
During the “Our Prehistoric World” topic we learnt about Early Humans in the Stone Age. We created our own cave paintings, our own Stone Age tools and we sorted Stone Age objects and animals into categories. We compared life back then to now and realised how much the world has changed. Great learning P6, keep it up!👏
Article 29- developing children’s talents, and fostering respect for humans and the environment.
On Wednesday P6 headed to Holyrood park to take part in the Outdoor Learning Challenge. We spent the morning at 3 different stations learning about various skills and topics. We all had the best time and can’t wait for our next trip!🤩
P6 have had a wonderful week of learning, our focus in topic has been on dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. The class have written brilliant stories about being a dinosaur and have been working on their blending skills for an artwork piece on dinosaurs too. We have also been continuing learning about place value in maths!🤩
This week, P6 have been learning about place value in maths and narrative stories in writing. We also completed a fun STEM lesson, where groups worked together to try to make the longest paper chain using only one piece of paper. The P6s were also very excited to meet their P1 buddies and had a lovely time playing with their buddies outside.
