Primary 6 have been learning about Saint Valentine this week. The children researched the life of Valentine of Terni and made PowerPoints to present.
We also enjoyed experimenting blending colours using watercolour paint and chalk and exploring ways to use masking tape to block the paint from our artwork.
P6 made some beautiful valentines cards!
As part of P6’s STEM career topic, we have been learning about lots of jobs within STEM and which transferable skills we need for these jobs.
After researching a career of their choice the children presented their findings to the class!
We learnt lots about a wide range of careers from our peers including; being a forensic psychologist, biologist, chemist, civil engineer, and Veterinarian.
There were a few budding veterinarians in the class and so we asked a local vet to come and share their experience, skills and stories with the children.
Thank you Dundas Vet group Nurses for a wonderful and informative afternoon. Both P6 classes got the opportunity to ask lots of questions, see some real X-rays, and practice bandaging some stuffed pets!
This week we reached the final stage of our architect STEM challenge which involved planning, designing and building our own paper cities. These photos are now in our learning jotters and most cities will have headed home but we will share photos here for you to enjoy. We were very proud of our finished cities!
This morning all of Primary 6 enjoyed a wonderfully festive to St John’s Nursery to hear some beautiful Christmas carols.
We especially loved the song about the Christmas Cracker!
Today in P6 we took part in a full day of online workshops to help us to learn more about climate change. We are now climate ready classrooms. We are aware that any small change can make an impact on the environment. We have now produced an action plan as a stage of the small differences we can make.
Rumaysa was our chief water temperature scientist. She helped us to measure the water temperatures for our investigation hourly throughout the day.
