Hi! We are Primary 6 and this is our class blog. In this blog we will be showing you photos and telling you what we have been learning about. We have two fantastic teachers, Mrs Clanachan who teaches on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. We also have Mrs Sim who teaches us on a Thursday, Friday and Wednesday morning. In our class we have 33 magnificent, hardworking pupils who always strive to go FAR!   By Chloe and Scarlett B.

We’ve been very busy in P1/2 so far this term. We’ve spent lots of time getting to know each other and learning how to share and take turns. We painted some lovely self portraits and used wool for their hair. We have done lots of outdoor learning and have been drawing 2D shapes outside with the chalk. We’ve been learning about the senses and have been out on a senses hunt around the playground. We found some lavender in the secret garden! We’ve been enjoying playing in our double bubble Miss Douglas’ class. We’ve been learning our sounds and practising how to form letters and write our names  correctly.

During the first week of P7 it was all mainly getting used to the daily routine and all of the new stuff at school, staggered break times and the constant washing or sanitising of hands. The first few days we were constantly moving to get used to our new classmates by sitting next to someone different from the opposite class everyday.

During the second week we got our first piece of writing to improve our descriptive skills and to make our writing better. Also we started to do maths for example our mental maths rotation including Daily Rigour, Number Talks, Sum-dog and Mental Agility.

We also started to draw self portraits of our self to put on the wall to represent one another.

In week 3 we started a second piece of descriptive writing and we also started a report on various subjects. We also did some more maths on angles such as complimentary and supplementary.

Then after that on Friday we made bird kites by using a step by step tutorial then after that we went outside to fly them!
