P6.23 have been busy making Christmas crafts in their workshop. We went outside to gather natural materials and then used all of our skills from Mearns Masters to create a decoration.
We have also been presenting our multicultural holiday presentations, and writing our book reviews all about Wonder.

This week we have been creating eco houses to make our eco city. We also decorated the houses using materials from outside and inside. We all enjoyed it. We have done our wonder and we will hopefully be watching the film next week. In maths one group was doing the difference between 12 and 24 hour time. Another group have doing percentages. Another group were learning about coordinates and creating some Christmas pictures. We have also taken part in the Adventure Trail where we have done numerous tasks such as making a present out of tiles.

At lunch on Thursday we saved a bee🐝. We found it outside one of the classrooms it was covered in water and was almost dead so we ran and got a stick and put the bee on the stick. Then we put in the forest and came back at lunchtime to see it falling off the stick and covered in more water. So we decided to go and get a tub to keep it dry and after a while we decided to call him Ribbon because on the box he was in it said ribbons so that’s what we called him that. Then we started to hold him and he started to trust us. After that we came inside and went to the kitchen to get him some sugary water. Then we went to P.E. and let him free in the eco garden and payed our respects to Ribbon by saluting him. He flew away to start a new life outside of Mearns Primary.

On Monday we did spooky comprehension in a group of 4 we watch a trailer for a spooky movies like the Addams family.
On Tuesday, P6.23 did P.E, Mrs Thompson chose 4 people to host a game. Our instructors were Euan, who hosted wet foot, Harrison and Aiden who hosted dodge ball, and Sam, who hosted port starboard.
On Wednesday we did maths! The cubes did maths about thousandths, and we used Bbc bitesize for some independent study. The spheres learned about tenths and did some work on a whiteboard. The pyramids practised their times tables.
We read Wonder with our partners and worked on identifying true and false statements.
On Thursday, we were listening to some amazing solo talks about famous Scots by our class.
We then did P.E which was in the gym hall and we played a team game which built teamwork, and strength. After P.E we attended P6.21’s fashion show, the fashion show was made by reused clothes. P6.21 named their fashion show “Fashion Passion”. After the fashion show, some girls from P6.21 did a dance.
We went outside and learned a little about algebra and solving equations. It was good fun! We used leaves, stones and sticks to represent the unknown digit.
Today we were even more entertained with more solo talks. For our mental maths, we played a speed game, where we had to use our skill and speed. You would have to try answer the quickest to get a reward, the quickest that didn’t answer the question right wouldn’t get the reward, and the other fastest that did get it right would get the reward. Some really fast people had to close their eyes to make it a bit more fair.
After lunch, we had some values time to play on the pitch.
Thanks from Parisa & Heather, your bloggers!
Good morning!
It has been a few weeks since our last blog but I was waiting until I had photo permissions before I posted again, as I thought it would be nice to get some faces in here!
A few weeks ago we had our Highland games house challenge which was a huge success. Well done to Donald, Gregor and Christopher who were elected as vice captains for their houses! They did a great job of helping out during the challenge.
In P.E we have been taking on the role of instructors and teaching others our skills. It’s been really fun and we have been able to learn some new skills from our peers.
Last week was maths week and did LOADS of maths. We realised we use maths all of the time in all areas of the curriculum! We investigated Marayam Marzikhani and created posters about her. We also had a pi-off with 6.21 to see who learned pi to the most digits.

Check out our maths board that we made! Thanks to Niko for making the lettering for the board.
This week saw the end of our first Mearns Masters pathway ‘The Gastronomers’. We learned to prepare, cook and present Italian starters and main courses. We thought about who the dish looked and served others in our ‘restaurant’. We learned a number of new skills and enjoyed cooking for others and dining in our class restaurant. During this time, we presented our group country projects which were fantastic!
Some presentations:
We enjoyed some den building outdoors too! Thee was excellent communication and team work during this!
I hope you all have an amazing October week and stay safe! I look forward to seeing you all back on 19th October.
The past two weeks have been very busy!
We have been using a new website called Giglets, to help develop our reading and comprehension skills. We’ve been really enjoying the stories and activities.
In Mearns masters, group 2 experimented with mozzarella on their bruschetta, and group 1 made a delicious dish of tagliatelle alfredo! Unfortunately I don’t have any photographs of the pasta because I was busy undergoing training to become a bike ability instructor which will come in very handy when we begin bikeability later on in p6!
Wonder is our class novel, and this week we thought about generating thoughtful, open-ended questions.
The cubes worked with the K’Nex to created 3D shapes and to calculated the volume of them.
In writing, we have been learning about writing recounts, and have been retelling events of notable days in our lives.
Everyone has been working so hard, well done Primary 6!
Hello and welcome to our primary 6 blog! It’s been a very busy few weeks back so I thought I’d share a little of what we’ve been up to…
Last week we took part in a maths challenge with our groups. We worked on our speed and accuracy of mental and written calculations. We were adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and solving multi-step problems.
On Friday mornings we learn through play! We consolidate and extend our learning in numeracy and literacy by playing and collaborating with our peers.
We used the chromebooks for writing and created a Google Slides all about us.
We investigated line and shape to create some starburst art, and we thought about how the SHANARRI indicators are met while we are in school.
We created a class charter, while learning about the rights of the child.
This week we practised our dribbling and passing skills while playing hockey in P.E.
On Thursday we visited the kitchen for our first Mearns Masters session. The children revised chopping techniques and considered presentation of their dishes. We are focusing on Italian food and flavours this session and we made delicious bruschetta and garlic bread!
Today we wrote about our favourite day and learned the features of a recount. Some people chose to write theirs and other chose to use the chromebooks.
We’ve had another great and successful week in P6 and look forward to next week already!
