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. 😊
On Tuesday we did a Columba 1400 TEAMS meeting with other schools. It was about values and leadership – we needed to draw a can or a bottle then put fill it with the things needed to make a good team and we did a presentation to the class.
On Wednesday we did our Tweet project. We were outside dancing for the whole day and we were organising a party for when we finish it and get the dvd back.
On Thursday we started off with strings, it was our second time back after the summer holidays and it was the first time we played a song. After lunch we played tennis and we made a court and we had to measure it and we also got to play on it.
On Friday we read some Divided City in the morning then after break people from EPIC came in and showed us some instruments that we could maybe play when they come back in to run some workshops for us. We completed a Minecraft themed escape room as part of our Maths Week activities. In the afternoon we done a knex challenge – we had to build a castle with certain criteria and measurements.
P6/7 have been exploring measure with Miss Murdoch as part of our Maths Week.
Today’s lesson involved pupils measuring objects in the classroom in millimetres, centimetres and metres, ensuring to select the correct measuring device. Following this, pupils were also able to use their knowledge of place value to convert metric units of length.
They then took their lesson outdoors and were able to use their problem solving skills and knowledge of measure to design a short tennis court for their P.E lesson.
We read and completed some activities on our new book and have been learning more details about the characters Graham and Joe!
The past few weeks we have been doing this project called ‘Tweet’, which is a dance workshop where we will make our own movie. 🎥
We have been learning about the dangers of smoking and worked in teams to create our own PowerPoints. This afternoon we shared our presentations on smoking with the rest of the class.
We started reading Divided City and completed some work about our Prior Knowledge of it and a front cover.
This week we did basketball for PE, here is a picture of it. We played a game where someone was in the middle & they had to try and intercept the ball.
We also had a dance workshop with Miss Kate, here‘s a little video and some pictures.
This week we were learning about cool and warm tones and colours. Then we made our own art.
We also did another K’nex challenge and Ryan suggested we make the Twin Towers as it’s almost the anniversary of 9/11. We could make a theme park ride or 911 twin towers.
Today for maths we did number bingo, ordering numbers with decimal points (some people even made their own versions) and a matching game.
We also went outside for basketball this week too.
