We also learned how to sing a song called BODMAS and it is very helpful in maths.

Then on Wednesday we finished are class novel called the boy who swam with piranhas.

On Thursday some of us done a little time math test on BODMAS.

And on Friday we had spelling and done a Millo Mile with our reading buddies and done some RME with P5 and P5/6 about Sikhism and Buddhism.

This week we have done some exciting birds eye views in art with Mrs Swan!

Also we read a lot of The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas and Stan is about to jump in to the piranha tank and we saw Auntie Annie and Uncle Ernie.

Maths is up next: we have been learning about the Bus Stop method. It is quite easy when you get the hang of it!

In spelling we are learning to use homophones in our everyday life properly, for example : hair/hare, stare/stair and there/their/they’re.

We also started our new topic on rocks the three types are called igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. We are all really excited to learn more about these rocks!

Finally we have a special announcement: we have a French student coming to learn to be a teacher  in our class. His name is Mr Robieu!

Dear readers,

Sorry, we have been running very late at updating our blog. We hope you forgive us for that and enjoy reading  about term 2’s learning.

We also had a very busy time in December doing Christmas crafts and working with other classes which unfortunately did not give us much time to write our blog.

-Miss Lardenois

In week 3, we have been learning about the planet Earth for our topic. Also in our topic we made the layers of earth with playdough.

We have also been learning multiplication chimney sums.

We learnt about root words in spelling for example respectful.The root word in there is ‘respect’ and the suffix is ‘ful’.

We were on part two of “the boy who swam with piranhas”.

-Struan and Lewis

 

In week 4 we continued to read “The boy who swam with piranhas”. Stan whistled ‘It’s a long long way to Tipperary’ because he needed to find the goldfish seller.

On Tuesday we had a football lesson with an Aberdeen football player called Arron. We had lots of fun with him and played lots of different football games.We played some games like running around the hall and when Arron said “stop” we had to freeze and Arron had to make us laugh and tried to make us move.

Our spelling sounds this week are /ee/. It is spelt in five different ways like e ee ie e-e ea. Some words are please, bee, Millie.

Welcome back !

This week’s bloggers are Eva and Ruby and we are going to talk to you about what exciting things we’ve been up to this week!!

Our class are really excited because we have been emailing our French pen pal class. They write to us in French and we have to work out what they are saying. Then we right back to them in English and they have to figure out what we are saying. We were thinking about what to write back to them it’s extremely FUN!

This week in maths we have done lots of things including rounding, estimating ,times tables and mental maths. We love doing all these different things. Sometimes we do quick fire maths questions to line up for either break or lunch.

We also had paired reading with our P3 buddies and some people had to go to the I.C.T suite to help their buddies log into their computers and work on it, and the other people stayed in the class to read with their buddies.

Thanks for reading our class blog!

Good byeeeee!

This week we have been busy!

In health and wellbeing we have been learning the third letter of SHANARRI. The first A stands for achieving.

In writing we were writing about our favourite places.

This week we also had French and we learnt a French song with our teacher. Then we switched to science with another teacher.

In maths we have been learning about addition and some subtraction.

We have also read a few more chapters of the “boy who swam with piranhas”. It’s been really good so far. We have also done some listening: it’s when the teacher gives us an instructions and we have to draw it, colour it or write it but she only repeats it twice.

We’ve also had paired reading and we had an assembly about Macmillan cancer support charity.

Week 7 was just as busy! We got more confident with our subtractions, finished the first part of our book, worked hard on spelling and mastered at being “kings of silence” (It’s a French game pupils and children play in France, “le roi du silence”).

It was very quiet as we most of the time were the only class in the senior area with the P7s being in Dalguise.

We’ve been so productive and hard-working that we ran out of time to write our blog entry. But stay tuned, we’ll post more after the holidays!

 

Thanks for reading !

In health and wellbeing, we have been learning about SHANARRI which means safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included.

This week we also went to the Alec caravan where we learned about friendship and drugs. We got to meet Harold the giraffe!!

This week in maths we started learning about additions and how to use different ways to find the answer.

We have new reading buddies for paired reading which happens on a Friday. Some people have two and some people have one.

We also have done a listening task. Miss Lardenois gave us instructions for colouring in, drawing, writing and we had to follow them carefully. It was fun.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Your class bloggers of the week: Annabel and Lewis

“Hello” and welcome to P6L’s Blog, This week’s bloggers are Eva and Rachel. We are going to talk to you about what’s been happening in P6L this week.

On Wednesday the 13^th of September it was Roald Dahl day and we watched a clip on how Roald Dahl became a famous author and where he wrote his books and it was very interesting. We got to find out what Rohl Dahl character we were: Rachel was like Matilda and Charlie and I was Matilda. Roald Dahl afternoon was fun!

In class we are also writing a whole class letter to a French class and the French class will write back to us in French. P6L are all really excited to learn about our French Pen pals!

In reading we have started a book called “The boy who swam with Piranhas”. The main character is called Stan and his Uncle runs a fish factory in their house and Stan has to sleep in a cupboard, a bit like Harry potter! Stan’s uncles house smells like FISH! But one day, on Stan’s birthday, his Aunt Annie wants to get Stan a treat so she steps up to Uncle Ernie and gets Stan a day off. Stan goes to the Fair that’s just arrived in their town. There he sees a hook-a-duck stall and wants to save the goldfish that are dying. We are eager to read more!
