Welcome to P6! We are so looking forward to welcoming you to your new primary 6 class.

The teachers in Primary 6 are;

P6A – Miss Anderson

P6F – Mr Franchi

P5AK have been working on their Number Talks Skills and using partitioning to help them find ways to solve calculations.

Over the next few weeks primary five will be learning ‘The Sair Finger’ by Walter Wingate.  The pupils will then perform this to the class.  Can we ask that pupils practise this poem at home to support the work we are doing in class.

The Sair Finger

You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!

Your pinkie? Deary me!

Noo, juist you haud it that wey till

I get my specs and see!

My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!

Noo, dinna greet nae mair.

See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!

I’m sure that wasna sair?

And noo, to make it hale the morn.

Put on a wee bit saw.

And tie a bonnie hankie roun’t –

Noo, there na – rin awa’!

Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue.

Ye’re only letting on!

Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are.

Row’d up the same as John.

This week we are practising songs for the Christmas Concert.  Below are the links to the songs that primary 5 will be performing.  Please take some time to rehearse these at home.  Happy singing!
