We have been increasing our time outside doing outdoor Numeracy. We have started doing it two days a week now doing Numeracy on a Monday and maths on a Thursday, ask any of us P6s and we can tell you the difference between Numeracy and maths.

We we have been looking at different types of nouns, we now know common, proper, abstract and collective nouns. We completed a task in groups of 4 to come up with as many different nouns as e could Miss Smith has displayed them in our classroom so that we use them in our writing.

In Digital technologies we have been learning lots about sending and receiving emails and also how to share documents with people we know.

It is also getting ever closer to Christmas so we have been practicing the songs for our Christmas concert, if you haven’t already please make sure you get tickets it going to be out of the world fantastic.

well until next time keep tuned in to see what we have been learning.

Welcome back to our blog!

In literacy we were learning more about asking and answering questions, we spoke about mount cognito and how it helps us to make up more in-depth and challenging questions to use in our reading groups.

In maths we finished our first chapter on place value so we had a small assessment, we are looking forward to moving onto chapter two to learn more skills akin addition and subtraction.

In PE we had our last chance to work our core muscles because next week we are assessing ourselves to see if we have gotten any better at, sit ups, push up, Bailey bridges, squat thrust, shuttle runs and shooting. We are hoping that threw lots of practice our core body muscles will have strengthen and if not we have enjoyed learning about how to improve our muscles and keep healthy.

It it was our last week with Woman’s Aid, Hannah has been telling us all about domestic abuse at home and also about different kinds of abuse and how we can deal with it in different ways. We had another visit as well this week from the NSPCC that’s also told us about different types of abuse. We all now know the number to call if we want to talk to someone from the childline.

This week we learnt lots about Remembrance Day. We learnt ways about how we remember and why we remember, we also made Poppies because we now know that Poppies are a symbol of remembrance and are linked closely to the poem Flanders Field. Ask any of us we can tell you why we wear the Poppy. John Paul also reminded the class that we have purple poppies to help us remember all the animals that lost their lives during conflict.

This week we have been working hard on our Primary 6 assembly. Our assembly was about RESPECT. We spoke of the story from the Old Testament about Elijah and the widow. The widow put all her faith in Elijah and respected what Elijah was saying, enough to make bread for him before making bread for her and her son. We also reminded the school that God regards each of us as a unique individual of infinite value to him. We also reminded everyone that Nobody’s a Nobody.

Until next time 😀

We had My Albyati on Monday because Miss Smith was on an Outdoor Numeracy course. We came in and done SODA then we done some maths. Then we had play time after playtime we read a book then got ready for PE. In PE we were doing more push and exercises to help us get healthy. Then after PE we were learning more about Tiny Feet and we finished our day by laying a games of heads and tales – which was really good fun.

We have ben learning how to keep our handwriting neat and we have been getting better with our spelling “I’m actually really good at reading, I’m getting challenged, because every single page i’m reading is getting harder and harder.”

We got a letter from Australian pen pals, my pen pals name is Arlen, but everyone has different pen pals, we have been learning about the layout of informal letters.  We are going to send these over to Australia.

On Friday we had two visitors, Tooth tigers told us how to brush our teeth properly, told us what would happen if we didn’t our teeth right and what to eat. They showed us wat makes your teeth rot and then we got to play games. We went to a station about questions about teeth brushing like “How many times do you have to brush your teeth a day?”  and of course the answer is two so you got a sticker for every correct answer. This was my favourite I ended up with 3 stickers.

Our second visitor was from Woman Aid, we spoke about people emotions, and what can make them feel different ways. Our visitor Hannah, has been talking about bullying and domestic abuse it’s really intersting.

We have had a busy week, in maths we were learning how to add and subtract 5 and 6 digit numbers from 7 digit numbers. in outdoor maths we were challenging our ability to add and take away in our heads.

We were reading in literacy, continuing our Roald Dahl books, Ben and Gabi’s finished there book and were so excited they started another book they are reading Esio Trot now. Everyone else was reading there books trying to use expression and excited voices.

We are doing circuits in PE, lots of sit ups, push ups, squat thrusts and other things so we can keep our bodies fit and healthy.

This week has been lots of fun with 3 different fun things, Zoolab on Monday, Halloween parties on Thursday and on Friday a visitor from Woman’s Aid came to talk to us about healthy and unhealthy relationships.

The best thing about this week is sending emails, we can send emails from our own email addresses. Miss Smith had 72 emails but the end of digital technologies.
