P6/7 have been developing their hockey skills.  We are looking forward to the Hockey Festival after the October holiday.

We have had an apple theme to our learning this week!

We made delicious apple turnovers for the Apple’s Got Talent competition.

They tasted delicious!

Apple Sports was a fun and active way to start our Apple Festival.  P6/7 organised the warm up and the circuit activities.

After ‘Apple Sports’ we enjoyed lots of fun activities including apple pressing, tasting lots of delicious juices, apple twirling, crafts and maths in the orchard.

In science this week we carried out experiments to identify substances that were soluble or insoluble.

Our next experiment was to test for the saturation point using salt and sugar.

   
Using apples from the orchard we made delicious apple crumble.

P6/7 have had a very busy start to the year and would like to share their learning with you.

Our topic for this term is Democracy.   We visited the Scottish Parliament to enhance our learning.  We even got the chance to put questions to MSPs.

After our visit to the Parliament we  started to work on House Captain elections.

Election day was very tense however all candidates presented their speeches with confidence.

In P.E. we have been learning to take on leadership roles.   We organised traditional playground games for P1.
