Good Morning,
I hope you have all been enjoying this snowy weather. Can you remember how to say âIt is snowingâ in French?
Here are some learning activities for you to try today.
Maths – Measure the depth of the snow with a ruler or tape measure, add to a chart to compare with yesterday. Is it more or less? By how many centimetres?
Winter Market Money – Take a look at these money problems. Solve on paper or, if you can, print the sheet.https://glowscotland-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/gw24florencekirsty_glow_sch_uk/IQAp2FMpczonTZWof7771j4-AXKRHGNZNTJyqSwKe21kHOg?e=KVZtF1
STEM –Â Try this Ski Lift Engineering project. Use problem solving skills to build a functioning pulley system. Ski Lift Engineering – STEM.mov
Literacy –Â In your best handwriting, write a diary entry for your day. Try to use descriptive words. For example:
8:00 am – Woke up and looked out of the window – more snow! I had a dream about sledging.
8:30am – Had boiled eggs with toast for breakfast. The hot melted butter tasted delicious.
9:00 am – Took my dog for a long walk, had to wear heavy snow boots and a cozy hat.
âŠ
If you would like to share any learning with me on Glow, that would be brilliant! If not, I will be delighted to hear about it when we get back to school.
As always, comment to let me know if there is an issue with any of the links.
Happy learning,
Miss Florence
Good Morning P5/6/7
Here are some learning activities for you to have a look at on this snowy day.Senses Poetry – Open this file for instructions on how to write a descriptive poem using the 5 senses. Snow Day Poetry.
Magimix –Â Use 1,6,6,2,3,1 to equal 30.
Measuring –Â Use a ruler or a tape measure to find the depth of the snow. Record your findings.
STEM –Â Create a chain reaction. Use dominos, Lego, blocks, marbles, (anything you can find) to make the longest chain reaction you can. Film it toppling down and experiment with slow motion on a device if you have one available. The science: When you line something like dominos up they have potential energy. When you knock over the first domino this potential energy is changed into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
We love our Friday paired reading sessions. We are working our way through all of our Christmas themed books. Next week we have invited Nursery children along for a story too.
We have been busy in P5/6/7 (aka Creag Choinninch Crafts) preparing for the Christmas Fayre. We hope to see lots of you there!
 
This term P5/6/7 have been working on the 10 physical skills of fitness: agility, accuracy, balance, co-ordination, flexibility, endurance, stamina, speed, strength, power. They have also been setting fitness targets and working hard to achieve them. Here are some photos from todayâs circuits lesson – everyone working very hard!
On Wednesday we had visitors to our class from Marr Area Partnership and Action for a Fairer World. The reason for their visit was to ask for childrenâs views and opinions on Braemar, which will be shared with the Community Council and contribute towards the Community Action Plan.

Thank you for visiting Liza Riddell, Natalija Clark-Mill, David Innes, and Lindsay Gallagher.Â
Remember remember the 5th of November đ„đđ
Pupils in p5,6,7 celebrated Guy Fawkes by creating watercolour artwork of bonfires. We used contrasting shapes (organic and geometric), and contrasting colours (warm and cool).
PC Alex came to school today. She showed us the police car and everything which is kept inside. She also showed us how the lights and siren work! Soon, she is going to come back and talk to our class about how to stay safe when we are out and about.
