PRIMARY 6S

Welcome to Primary 6S!

Our teacher is Mrs Stewart.

Our classroom assistant is Mrs Workman.

The Digestive System

Today we made our very own digestive system. We cut up bananas and biscuits and mixed them with orange juice in a plastic food bag (representing the stomach). We then poured the mixture into a pair of tights to absorb liquid (representing the small intestine inside the body). Finally, the cup acted as the large intestine where we sqeezed the excess food out of the body to make poo!

Sphero Fun

We had lots of fun using the Spheros as part of our numeracy lesson. We played darts and ten pin bowling in pairs and navigated the sphero using our knowledge of angles.

Character Clouds

P6 loved creating their own fictional character! We thought of a name, sketched our character and used ICT to create a character word cloud.

Bottles of Blood

As part of learning about the circulatory system, P6 created their own bottles of blood using cheerios (platelets), water (plasma), paint (red blood cells), marshmallows (white blood cells) and salt (nutrients). We then created labels for our bottles!

The Skeleton & Joints

Some of our group activities linked to the skeleton and our joints.

We had to create a skeleton structure that would hold a tennis ball. We also created a 'hinge' joint and compared this to our elbows.

The Human Body

We have been doing lots of practical activities linked to our new topic 'The Human Body'. We had to guess where each organ would be located in the body, then we found out the correct location in class.

P6 are enjoying lots of sport this week!
