Snapshot of P6B’s learning!
P6B spent the week celebrating Chinese New Year! We learnt how to say Happy New Year, researched the Chinese Zodiac story, practised writing some names in Mandarin and created our KWL for starting the topic next week. Through compare and contrast activities we are going to link the rights of a child and the UNCRC articles to this topic. The class also got to experience first-hand the tao hongbao custom of giving red envelops.
In maths Albert Einstein have started the algebra topic. Isaac Newton created their own perimeters by using measuring tapes and metre sticks. Emmy Noether have been converting grams and kilograms. They also used scales to weigh different objects. Maria Agnesi finished their grid reference topic by challenging each other to plot and connect several grid references.
Mr Judge has started the fitness block for his P.E. sessions.
As part of our Health and Wellbeing topic we have been learning about substance misuse. In groups we discussed how medicines can be used safely and how some substances can affect the body and behaviour differently.
During our ICT session we discussed the importance of permission, consent and not sharing personal information online. The Campus Cop also visited to inform us about how to safely use the internet and what the age guideline of games meant.
On Friday we were all given fobs and maps for Beat the Street. Beat The Street is a games which involves walking, running and cycling around Barrhead and Newton Mearns finding senors in different locations. Pressing our fobs against the senors gains us points which will contribute to our schools overall score. If our school gains the most points then we will be rewarded with a £300 gift card.
Mr Atkinson’s Comment
It was great meeting everyone at Parents Night. Remember application forms for Crookfur’s Got Talent are available for pupils to collect. Congratulations to Lucas, Emily and Calum for raising a £150 for the Radio Clyde Cash for Kids appeal. They baked and sold delicious cakes to raise this money. Good luck everyone with Beat the Street!
