John –\u00a0<\/strong>For our persuasive writing this week we created scripts for our TV commercials. The purpose was to encourage people to buy the items we had brought from home. To achieve this we included persuasive openers, exciting descriptive vocabulary and wording opinions as facts which can sometimes be challenging.<\/p>\n

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

Harley and Archie –\u00a0<\/strong>This week P6 finished learning about ml and l and have started our new time topic. We have been revising how to use AM and PM when writing times of events that happen throughout the day. We have also been discussing how to record time in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Ruairidh \u2013<\/strong> P5 have moved onto learning about weight. One of our activities involved making weight estimation of items and deciding whether they weighed more or less that 500 grams.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

John \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>We have started learning about Healthy Eating with Miss Ross and this week we took part in a quiz guessing the amount of sugar there is in products we eat or drink.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alfie – <\/strong>In the MUGA, for P.E. with Miss Hutchison we played a couple of football matches. The captains helped to train their teams and teach them new skills for the upcoming games.<\/p>\n

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

Kate –\u00a0<\/strong>In Science we did experiments to change the shadows of objects. We discovered that by adjusting the angle or distance between the light and the item this will impact on the shape and length of shadow. We also wrote a report on these tests.<\/p>\n

Sara –\u00a0<\/strong>On Monday, Toby from the Glasgow Science Centre came to set-up our hatchery and answer any of our questions about how to look after the trout eggs.<\/p>\n

IDL – Fairtrade<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

John –\u00a0<\/strong>In our Fairtrade lesson we created mind-maps on what impacts farmers and affects their basic needs.<\/p>\n

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

Finlay –<\/strong> After working to create updated maps, this week we were challenged to use Tinkercad to design new school grounds that linked with the important messages from John Muir. Some of us built new habitats for animals and others created gardens to encourage creatures to visit so that we could study them.<\/p>\n

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

Mehr – <\/strong>With Mrs Hutchison, the primary 6 pupils took part in the forbidden rhythm game and played on the glockenspiels.<\/p>\n

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

Aarohi \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>I shared with the class a drawing I made about a festival that is celebrated by Hindus called Makar Sankranti. Makar Sankranti marks the commencement of the sun’s (the god of the sun is Surya who we pray to) journey to the Northern Hemisphere (Makara rasi).<\/p>\n
