Welcome to P6!!
Look at our WONDERFUL P6 children!
Sept 2025- This week in class we have been focusing on our place value and partitioning. Great work P6!
10.09.25- P6 have been developing their fundamental movements in PE lessons. We have been working on our balance, coordination, strength and our accuracy. We had great fun taking part in this circuit.
September 2025- As part of our WAU topic, the pupils have been looking at how unique we really are. We used magnifying glasses or the camera on the iPad to zoom in and look at our individual fingerprints. We identified marks, arches, whirls and loops and then recreate the image on paper. We used a black sharpie for the lines and different colours to fill in the spaces.
This art style is similar to that of Keith Haring’s Pop Art with the energetic lines, and vivid colours bold outlines.
19th September 2025- Today the P6 voted for and elected their peers as the school council representatives. It was a new experience for all pupils in Central visiting our polling station and posting votes into the ballot box.
P7 did a fantastic job officiating the polling station and took their roles very seriously. Well done to P7 and Mr. Brown for such a fantastic experience.
19.09.25- Today the P6 voted for and elected their peers as the school council representatives. Well done Kai and Freya who will represent P6.
24th September- this week we have been looking at our senses (taste) we blind taste tested a range of Tayto crisps and then voted for our personal favourites. Everyone enjoyed this tasty numeracy lesson. We then transferred this data in a frequency table and then into a bar chart.
The pupils will then next week get a chance to use display this information on the chrome books.
This term P6 have been focusing on poetry, we have linked our poetry to out topic, the Human Body. We used the Chrome books today and typed up or nursery rhymes. developing a range of ICT skills. P6 pupils enjoyed reading aloud and performing our poems in front of the class, sharing our great work! Superb effort P6!
We have looked at acrostic poems, cinquain poems, riddles, shape poems, and simile poems.
23.09.25- Today P6 have learnt about all the different parts of the human eye and their function and purpose. We then sketched and changed the iris to show how good we are at using and mixing water colours. One of the main uses of the colour wheel is to help us recognise the visual relationships between colours.
October 2025- Today the P6 voted for and elected their peers as the ECO representatives. Well done Leah and Oscar.
3rd October P6 pupils took part in a RIAT Glider Challenge organised and delivered by the Royal Air Force Inspire Charitable Trust. P6 were tasked with the STEM challenge to design and build their own glider in groups. We had a great time participating in this workshop and all pupils received a certificate for their efforts. 1 entry has been selected and send off to be judged. fingers crossed as we won this competition last year!!!
Firday 10th October- To celebrate World Mental Health Day, our class took learning outside for a refreshing ICT lesson. Pupils used iPads to scan QR codes placed around the outdoor area, each linking to a unique activity focused on a specific human body system. This interactive approach not only supported digital skills but also encouraged movement, curiosity, and teamwork—perfect for promoting wellbeing while learning. A fantastic blend of technology, health education, and outdoor exploration!
10th October 2025- World Mental Health Day – A Calm Moment in P6
To mark World Mental Health Day, Primary 6 swapped their usual Friday test for a relaxing treat—tea, toast and biscuits! It was a lovely opportunity to slow down, chat with friends, and enjoy a mindful moment together. Sometimes, the simplest activities can make the biggest difference in promoting wellbeing.
We were thrilled to welcome Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS) to our school to deliver a fantastic 3-session programme for our Primary 6 pupils, supporting their World Around Us topic: The Human Body.
- Session 1 focused on healthy eating, helping pupils understand the importance of a balanced diet and how food choices affect heart and lung health.
- Session 2 explored physical activity, encouraging pupils to move more and learn how exercise supports overall wellbeing.
- Session 3 wrapped up with vital information about screen time and bedtime, highlighting how good habits can improve sleep and mental health.
A huge thank you to NICHS for leading these engaging lessons and helping our pupils make informed, healthy choices. Your support has been invaluable in enriching our curriculum!
