Mr\u00a0Atkinson\u2019s comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pupils have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Book Week Scotland which you can read about below. The primary 5 children will be involved in a Christmas performance and we have begun rehearsing songs which will continue for the next couple of weeks. We hope to send individual lines and song lyrics home next week for the pupils to practice at home.<\/p>\n

Woodland dates are: November 28th and December 12th.<\/p>\n

Literacy and English<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Emma –<\/strong> It was Book Week Scotland this week! One of the activities we took part in was recording on our class poster how many books we had read over the week.<\/p>\n

Maya –\u00a0<\/strong>Mr Atkinson read us Charlie\u00a0and the\u00a0Chocolate Factory at the end of everyday because our Book Week Scotland tasks were related to it. We are also going to be writing a newspaper based on the main events from the novel.<\/p>\n

Harley –\u00a0<\/strong>Both the P5 and P6 pupils became reading buddies and visited some of the younger years to help them explore new books.<\/p>\n

Numeracy and Maths<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Alfie \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>We were inspired to create our own chocolate bars after reading chapters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so we surveyed the class on their favourite flavour and shape. We also asked them what they thought would be the best size and price for a cholocate bar. Using this information we created bar graphs and pie charts to display our results.<\/p>\n

Lewis – <\/strong>In groups, we used an online programme called TinkerCad to design a 3D model of our own chocolate bar. This was challenging as it involved applying our knowledge of maths, including; shape, size and some calculations. This activity also encouraged us to use a Growth Mindset as it tested our ICT skills!<\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sara –\u00a0<\/strong>For our final P6 lesson on Growth Mindset we drew icebergs\u00a0 and wrote words to describe our emotions either under or above the water. These pictures represented what people see above water such as success or achieving goals but under the water we wrote words such as studying and learning from mistakes as people do not always see the effort that goes in to accomplishing something.<\/p>\n

Ruairidh \u2013 <\/strong>For our final P5 lesson on Growth Mindset we discussed what makes an effective learning. We came up with qualities such as hardworking, positive, resilient, perseveres and willing to accept feedback. Afterwards, we took inspiration from looking at cereal boxes and decided to create our own cereals but instead base the ingredients on the effective leaners qualities.<\/p>\n

Mehr –\u00a0<\/strong>Our second lesson of gymnastics involved being more creative with our balances that we learned last week, practicing different rolls on the mats and spelling out words in a group by moving and rotating our bodies.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Learning<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kyler –\u00a0<\/strong>This week we worked in groups to find materials that could be used as instruments so that we could form a woodland orchestra! We had so much fun trying to recreate popular songs and themes.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Expressive Art<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mehr –\u00a0<\/strong>On Friday we started designing Christmas cards for the Whitecraigs Care Home competition.<\/p>\n

RME<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chloe –\u00a0<\/strong>We have started learning about Hinduism and the different Gods. One of our tasks involved matching the Gods with their names.<\/p>\n
