P6M – Miss McLaren

We have P.E on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Please have appropriate clothing and footwear.  As school policy,  jewellery needs to be removed where possible or a letter of consent given to the teacher.  Thanks in advance for your co-operation.

We’ve had a busy start to P6.  We have been creating our own games to learn the months of the year in French.

Here is Ava’s  amazing origami that she completed at home.

Jack completed a PowerPoint about the the River Nile at home.

This week is Maths Week Scotland (23-26th September 2025).  We successfully completed our first daily challenge today – Broken Squares.

Our second challenge on Wednesday was to work out the minimum number of coconuts that 4 contestants would need for the 4 days left of ‘Stranded’ reality show.  It caught us out but we gave it a really good go!

Wednesday – we also were learning about Money and the different materials/objects that have been used as currency in the past, all over the world.  There were some very interesting things used…

We tried our third daily challenge on Thursday. This one was even harder than previous ones! 2 girls were running though 1 started after the other. Our challenge was to work out when the second girl started. A couple of people came close to the answer. 👏🏻


As part of our novel study “Kensuke’s Kingdom” we went out on Thursday morning to estimate the actual size and draw the boat from the story – Peggy Sue. Here are our efforts – some were extremely accurate! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Many thanks to all of our parents/careers who joined us on Thursday afternoon. We hope you enjoyed playing the games, completing the puzzles and challenge we tried. Hope you are not still trying to figure out the circles to square challenge! ( sorry for blurry pictures)
