Christmas Celebrations

Primary 6 have had a very festive week.

Yesterday we enjoyed The Winter Wonderland event and loved meeting Bruno and Evie the reindeer.


We loved seeing Santa and receiving our gifts. Thank you to everyone who organised this for us.

 

The fun continued on Friday wIth everyone wearing their Christmas jumpers.


We created a festive jumper for Mrs Gardner which she modelled during assembly.

We then took part in a quiz against the p4s- p7s. The pupil council members were the quiz masters and we were the winners!
We will look forward to a movie afternoon with popcorn next week as our prize,

We also watched the pantomime and finished the day with some Just Dance.

One week to go till the holidays!

 

 

 

Busy Thursday!

Primary 6 had a busy Thursday with lots of active learning.
We were considering the strategies that we can use for problem solving and identifying the correct ones to use to solve the problem.  We did discover that some problems could not be solved!

We also enjoyed creating our own problems and we will concentrate on this more next week – getting other people to find an answer!

Acting out the situation was a good strategy to use.

We created organised lists and tables.

 

At lunch time some of the class enjoyed craft club.  Some made reindeer, others completed Hama bead designs and many made lovely Christmas tree cards.

In the afternoon we were working on Science and discovering more about circuits.

Our learning was self led and it was interesting to see the discoveries that we made!  We really enjoyed making bulbs light, buzzers buzz and motors turn and we are looking forward to finding out more next week.

OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY

Primary 6 have been spending lots of time outside today as it is Outdoor Classroom Day.

We completed our comprehension activities and moved about as we identified literal, inferential and evaluative questions.

During our maths problem solving we were all working on measure.

Some of the groups were measuring trees and others were challenged to find a stick exactly half the length of another.

In the afternoon we were back out for the daily mile!  We were really pleased that the weather was dry.

Working together to answer inferential questions.

Interesting way to measure trees!

Finding sticks and measuring tree heights.
