This week P6/7 started learning about rugby and had their first session with Cumnock Rugby Club.

We can’t believe that it is the end of Term 1 already.

This week we have been learning how to measure different items in our class using rulers,meter sticks and measuring tapes. We have been practising our times tables and completed a challenge to see how much we have improved. We also read some more of our book study and completed some work based on it.

On Wednesday some of our P7’s led our Harvest Service  and they were marvelous.  We had the Harvest Hush-in where we all had to be silent for 1 hour.

This afternoon we are doing a presentation for Janet which some of the P6/7’s will help to lead.

We hope everyone has a great October break.

This week in maths we have been doing rounding, place value, partitioning and maths activities. In literacy we were doing prefixes, homophones and reading ‘They Change’ and we wrote a summary about what has happened so far. In Gym we have started basketball with Mrs McCaig and we were also playing some games.  We were making our class charter display and we mixed the themes so it will be a mix of football and Disney for it. Our P7s were reading their captain speeches this afternoon to see who will get captain for their house.

We have had a brilliant first week in P6/7.

On Monday, we created our ‘Who am I?’ display. We typed up different clues about ourselves, drew a self portrait and have displayed these around the school for others to read and see if they can guess who we are.

We started reading a short story called ‘They Change’ –  we have read up to chapter 4 and can’t wait to find out what happens next. We have been looking at homophones in spelling and have already started to explore what the different words mean.

In numeracy we have been learning to round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and beyond. We have been learning about place value and writing down the value of different digits.

In PE we were playing a variety of fun games.

P7 were excited to get to see and help their P1 buddy settle into their first week at school.

P7 have already started thinking about their speeches for School Captain.
