This Wednesday we are having a film premiere. This is to showcase all of our fantastic work from our Tweet project with P5/6. We have been busy making decorations to decorate the hall for our premiere.
There will a celebration event in the school on Wednesday afternoon, where we get to see our films for the first time & have a party. For the celebration everyone is allowed to wear their own casual/party clothes. Clothes must be suitable for being outside at break and lunch and no football strips allowed.
We can’t wait until we can share our films with you all.
This week P6/7 were doing homophones. For PE we worked in groups to create our own activity & the each group led the session for the rest of the class. The P7s had a Teams call with Mr. Tickner about transitioning to the Robert Burns Academy. Mrs Govans was in our class on Thursday afternoon and we were learning about anti-bullying and kindness. Today it was Pudsey day for Children in Need and we did crafts and pictures for it.
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.
Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 29th November.
Unfortunately we can’t be in class today & therefore we will be completing our learning online.
Literacy
I have attached an online version of our class novel, Divided City. I have also attached the task map for Chapters 24-29 for you to choose some activities from.
You can also access reading wise to practise your common words in the zip section & practise your vocabulary.
Numeracy
We have been working on multiplication in class.
Today you can revise multiplying by 20 – (multiply by 10 and double your answer) & multiplying by 50 (multiply by 100 and half your answer).
Try the calculations below:
Core
350 x 20=
670 x 20 =
480 x 20 =
3210 x 20 =
4820 x 20
Challenge
460 x 50 =
680 x 50 =
980 x 50 =
8746 x 50 =
I have also added a challenge to Sumdog.
Remembrance Day
Today is Remembrance Day & we would be having a minutes silence at 11am in school. In class we looked at the importance of the poppy and why it was the chosen flower to remember those who have given their lives in battle.
Today I thought you could create your own poppy pictures, using the tutorial below.
This week we have been really busy working on our Fibonacci patterns in maths. This is where you have to add the previous two numbers to get the next number in the sequence.
Today Layla, Alix, Calvin, Connor all got to work with Jordan to make up a task for all the class to do and we had to lead a warm up and we picked to organise a football tournament to see how good our leadership skills are.
This week we read some more of our Divided City book and did tasks on it. We also made some more refugee art and this week we did behind the eye of a refugee . We also decorated our class room with hand made decorations. We did some more art based on Halloween we followed a step by step video and made a zombie. We also did fun maths, where we did tennis ball multiplication, polydron and Halloween multiplication art. And then to wrap the week up we had had our Halloween party. We played games, had snacks and watched a movie .
On Tuesday we did Columbia 1400 for our second session and it was all about the value of awareness.
We also did our welcoming refugee hands. Here is a picture.
We also had pipe band and we were playing tenner drums and the chanter.
On Thursday we did our writing audit to see how we could improve writing in our school. We looked at different stories & looked at the characters, setting & plots. We also had strings.
On Friday we read some more of our Divided City book and did some multiplication calculations. We did a K’nex challenge and had to make a boat for our refugee topic on how the people came over on the boats.
Today P6/7 were arranging a Go Purple Day for the whole school, including the ECC, for the Ayrshire Hospice. We set up some activities for everyone. Some of the activities were outdoors and indoors, all involving the colour purple . For example, we hid smiley faces in classrooms and teddies out in the play ground . There were 10 smiley faces in each classroom and we hid 10 teddies in the play ground but there was a twist – each class had a different time to find them. For example, the ECC, P1 and P2 had 30 minutes and P3 had 20 minutes and so on . We also made a card for the Ayrshire Hospice and paper chains with purple designs. Here are some pictures. We had a great day!
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. 😊
