This week the P6 children had fire safety talks from the emergency services. We then wrote poems based on what we found out. We had fun performing them.

Our children watched a theatre production called “Hope” on Thursday afternoon. The show was all about dealing with conflict and how people can be forgiven for their actions. They were so inspired that they wrote their own scenes, raps and songs( in their free time) and performed them for the rest of the class.

Do you like learning about square numbers? Do you like using digital technology? Do you like showing square numbers using digital technology? If the answer to all these questions was “Yes!” then Primary 6 is the place to be. On Thursday, we explored square numbers by representing them visually using Colour Magic. We hope you like them.

The Primary 6 and 7 children took part in a Basketball Cup quarter final against Kingsford that saw some of the most dramatic sporting action  in the North East of Scotland since Alex Ferguson managed the Dons. Despite trailing to a very strong Kingsford side early on in the game, the children rallied in the later stages to bring the victory back over the river. The match was played in a great spirit and an enthusiastic and passionate crowd watched on from the court side, captivated by the drama, excitement and tension.

Both teams were a credit to themselves and their respective schools and, as always,  the coaches and parents were extremely proud of the children. The semi-final, in six weeks’ time at the Grammar School, is sure to be an equally action packed encounter against a formidable Skene Square outfit. In the meantime, the Meerkats will be working hard every Monday evening to try to defend their title.

The Primary 6 children have shown great enthusiasm for the school community by running a Glee Club for the younger children. They have even come up with their own dance moves. The Primary 2 and 3 children had a great time!

The Primary 6 children made fraction walls today to help show equivalent fractions in a visual way. We hope you like them.
