Line drawings

This afternoon the class came outside the to do some line drawings. The pupils had to draw something they could see in the playground.

Problem solving

Primary 6/7 were given various problem solving activities to do today.



One of the activities involved travelling from one side of an 'acid bog' to the other. The pupils had to come up with a method of getting the rest of their group across bog using only 3 large pieces of 'magic' paper. The pupils came up with some fantastic ideas.

The Big Debate

'Should there be a mass kill of foxes in London?'



Primary 6/7 were given the above question to discuss. One group had to agrue for and the other against. The groups had to brainstorm and then create a good argument for or against the mass killing of foxes in London.



After this the pupils were asked to writing a report showing both points of view as well as giving their own opinion.

It was interesting to hear the pupils opinions as well as them using their knowledge of the food chain to boost their argument.

Pupil of the Week

Congratulation to Aimee who won Pupil of the Week.

Visiting Artist

This morning P6/7 had a visit from former pupil and art student Heather Pugh. Heather taught the pupils how do continuous line drawing. She asked the pupils to draw a picture of their friend but they were not allowed to take the pen off the paper. The pupils then had to repeat this but they were not allowed to look at their drawing! After this they made collage pictures from their drawings. The class had a great time.

South Africa

This afternoon the pupils worked on their South Africa topic. There were given the question, 'Why does the World Cup means so much to the people of South Africa', and had to use their knowledge of South Africa's past to answer it. The pupils worked in pairs and as it was such a lovely afternoon we worked outside.
