Pupils have been issued with their first ‘Big Talk’ homework of the session.  The assessment criteria for the personal presentations can  be found below along with a copy of the homework. These will help pupils and parents/carers to know what is expected at each level.  Copies of both can be found below.

Title:  My Favourite Film or Book

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about your favourite film or book.  The presentation should be as detailed as possible and should include information about the genre, characters, setting and plot.  You could also include your favourite parts and the reasons why you like them, or ways you think the author or director could have made them even better. You could also use other ideas to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (saved on GLOW or pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

You should practise your talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. You may want to use notes or prompt cards to help you stay on track.

All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which is also available on Glow.

Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 29^th November

We created beautiful water-colour paintings as part of our Remembrance Day learning. We also wrote our own acrostic poems to go with them.

They look great on our classroom wall.

This week we had fun doing our literacy work. We also went outside for maths and we played fun addition games. We learned a new maths strategy.

We made bonfire night pictures and played basketball in PE.

Last week was a busy one in P5/6, topped off with a Halloween Party.

Primary 5/6 it has been a pleasure being your teacher on a Thursday and Friday. I am gutted to be leaving you all however I am only along in Mauchline so will try to visit when I can! I will keep in touch and hear how you are all getting on! Keep working hard!

Best of luck for the rest of P5/6!

Today Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 were joined by the Tweet Project staff & videographer, Taylor. It was amazing to see all of their hard work from the past few weeks coming together.

We cannot wait to see the finished product & share it with you all, but here is a little sneak peek of behind the scenes.

To complete our Tweet dance project, the film crew will be attending Catrine P.S on Wednesday 6th October for the pupils to create their own dance film. Primary 5/6 and 6/7 have been part of many discussions around costumes etc. All children should come to school dressed in black leggings/joggers and a plain coloured t-shirt. As we will be filming outside for most of the day please ensure that your child has appropriate footwear on.
It has also been requested that anyone with long hair has their hair back, away from their face for when they are dancing.

We can’t wait to see the finished product & share it with you all. 😊

This week we used base ten materials to make models. We made rabbits, a fidget machine, tower and sweet maker. We took some pictures before we broke them down into their values. We had great fun!
