Today we made Koinobori, a carp wind sock that is traditionally used to decorate homes during Children’s Day in Japan. 🎏

We even went outside and flew them in the wind, they looked amazing!

We have been doing Instructional writing in P6 and today we wrote detailed instructions on how to make a Japanese fan! Afterwards we had a go at following the instructions and making them ourselves! How amazing!

Did you know Tokyo has the most neon lights of any place in the World?💡

Primary 6 have been researching Tokyo and the famous neon signs that cover Tokyo’s busy streets! We even made our own using Kanji! Of course I also had a go ✨

Great lesson today looking at the Circulatory System in science.

Primary 7 did a fantastic job of labelling the poster I made of the human heart! Some really good discussion from the class as well🫀

Primary 7 have been learning about famous Glaswegians as part of their Glasgow topic!

[Emma Mackison @missmackison]

Led my first whole class lesson today doing Art and Design with primary 7😊

So happy with the results, the children did such a great job of capturing autumn leaves using water colour! Can’t wait to cut these all out and hang them up in the classroom 🎨

A truly inspiring lecture from @khadijamohamme8 this afternoon on race and being an anti-racist educator. Definitely lots of interesting information to consider when going into schools as a role model to children. Thank you again! 🙌🏻

Learning about using texts in other languages in the classroom. A great way to combine literacy skills with modern languages! 🐛 🇫🇷 🇪🇸
