Hi everyone,
P6 have had another busy week. Sadly it was our last week at skiing and most kids were sad it is finished. They did so well!!! A massive thank you to all parents that came to see the kids on the final day!
The kids complete a reflective journal at the end of the week. We call it a learning log. This week I have taken some photographs of their excellent work for you to see how we do it.
We had loads of fun developing our communication skills with Lynsey Murphy again this week. Our hall looked a complete mess when she set us a challenge to work on our communication skills. We had to explain to a team mate silently how to tell another team mate that was blindfolded how to navigate their way through our hall without touching anything. If we did we had to start at the beginning again. This was really tricky when 6 kids are all shouting at the same time. We also had time to play bench ball and remind ourselves what is safe and what is not!!
Literacy this week was a mix of poetry and writing character descriptions. We discussed onomatopoeia, adjectives and adverbs. Developing our character we had to think about their appearance, personality, name and age.
In Maths, we looked at fractions, prime numbers and reinforced work on multiplication an division.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Take care,
Mrs Fx

• Winter Heating Payment- Social Security Scotland pays this to people living in Scotland. Winter Heating Payment is to help people on low-income benefits who might have extra heating needs. It replaced Cold Weather Payment, from the Department for Work and Pensions and has the same eligibility requirements. Winter Heating Payment does not depend on how cold the temperature gets it is a yearly payment that is paid automatically.
• Winter Fuel Payment-Currently for those born before 25 September 1957, with some exceptions, to help pay for heating. Paid annually. You usually get a Winter Fuel Payment automatically if you are eligible and you get the State Pension or some other social security benefits. If you are eligible, but do not get paid automatically, you will need to make a claim.

Hi everyone,
P6 have had another super busy week. They have been continuing to learn how to do division sums and how to do perimeter. Remember we are not going to understand everything on the first few tries so please keep working hard and asking questions. You will get there!!!
Skiing was super duper again this week! It is really sad to know that it is the last week next week – 9th Nov ! 🙁 What is super is that all of our parents and carers are very welcome to come and watch skiing next Thursday so we can show you everything we have been learning!!! 🙂 We should be started about 10am and we finish around 12ish. Please come and watch if you can!
We had a some outdoor learning at the end of Friday when we were completing a challenging measure conversion game and trying to find codes on hidden cards. We should finish this next week so fingers crossed the weather is good!
We are continuing to work on our Play Award with Lynsey Murphy and next week we have to plan and organise our own session. We have been learning about our participants, safe areas, communication and team work. We have also had lots of fun playing the games she has set us!!!
Take care everyone and have a lovely weekend! I’m sure it’ll be a quieter one than last week!
Enjoy… Mrs Fx

Hi P6 Parents & Carers,
Just to say I know a lot of our P6s have just had a great time learning to ski and the current evening lessons on a Tuesday night don’t suit SO Newmilns Ski slope can offer skiing lessons on Mondays and/ or Wednesdays 4-5pm or 5-6pm if you would like your child to continue to learn to ski. Please give Kirsty a call and they can discuss the prices and any other info you need.
01560 322 320
I hope this is useful.
