‘Welcome to P6a’s blog. This week was Anti Bullying Week. Let us explain what we got up to!’ Molly

‘On Tuesday we got to meet people who work for I Am Me Scotland and they taught us about antibullying and how to stop bullying.’ Bruce

‘One of the workshops included writing a thank you message on a paper heart to help kindness spread through  the school.’ Sophia

‘Another workshop included thinking of ideas on how all the classes can show kindness to each other.’ Bella

‘After the workshops we went round each of the classes to teach them about what we had been learning.’ Isla

‘Now P6 are ambassadors for kindness in our school. Me, James and Molly got to go with Mrs Slorach to record a video for assembly all about kindness.’ Euan

 

‘During writing we chose one of our previous stories and rotated around five different stations, each had a different editing theme. We are going to redraft our writing next week with all of our changes.’ Molly

‘I think that editing our stories will make all of them better.’ Ayyan

‘My favourite was the Punctuation Station because it reminded me to add more commas to my work.’ Lexi

‘My favourite station was the Spelling Station because I got extra time to read over my work and correct any spelling mistakes.’ Dylan

‘I enjoyed all of it because it gave me a chance to improve on my writing.’ Lauren

 

‘In Outdoor Learning we were collecting leaves of different shapes and colours. Next week we are going to make bunting with these.’ Cara

‘There were lots of good leaves for this because they have fallen of the trees. When we collected them we wiped them down incase they had mud on them.’ Heather

‘We got lots of heavy books and used these to press the leaves down so next week we can use them for our bunting.’ Evan

 

‘In P.E. we were learning about fitness in basketball. At the end we got to play a 5 aside match and it was really fun because we got to use the hoops.’ Luca Fi

‘We played ‘Chicken Fight’ which is when some of the class were dribbling basketballs and the other half had to intercept them.’ Jessica

‘We also played Octopus Tig to warm up and I enjoyed this.’ Tia

‘It was really fun playing the 5aside matches because the game was so fast and it was hard to get the ball from the other team.’ Euan

‘There were 3 Star players this week because we all tried so hard and Mrs Hobson was delighted.’ Lauren

‘I was the best commentator for the games and was describing ever single move by every single team member,’ Bruce

 

‘In our Clans topic we had to guess what a painting was all about.’ Skye

‘The Painting was called The Last of the Clan and it was about the young, fit men emigrating to the new world (Canada, U.S.A and Australia.) At the start women, young children and old people were not allowed on the boat.’ Molly

‘This will be one of our last Clan lesson as we are going to move on and learn new things soon.’ Ayyan

 

‘Lastly, we also made Christmas cards to enter two competitions. We could enter competitions for Whitecraigs Care Home and a local MP. Myself and two others were picked as finalists for our designs.’ Leaah

‘My design had a snowman, gingerbread men and snowballs on it.’ Hashim

‘My design had Santa falling down the chimney!’Ben

‘Stay tuned for next week as it is Road Safety week and the JRSOs will be holding a quiz in each class.’ Ayyan

‘Welcome back to P6a’s blog. This week has been Book Week Scotland and we have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate  factory. We took part in special lessons related to it!’ Euan

 

‘We were writing about setting and describing The Chocolate Room from the book.’ James

‘During the lesson we watched clips from the older film and the newer version. We described what was inside the chocolate room, using our senses.’ Harry

‘In the Chocolate Room there was an enormous chocolate waterfall, which churned all of the chocolate ready to be made into  chocolate bars.’ James

‘There were also buttercups which Willy Wonka drank out of and then he bit into them!’ Luca Fi

‘I found it quite hard trying to imagine what the sweets would taste like, as I have never been to Willy Wonka’s factory!’ Molly

 

 

‘In Maths, we invented different chocolate bar combinations. For example, Maltesers, M&Ms and milk chocolate. We picked 4 combinations and surveyed the class.’ Ayyan

‘After, we made a bar chart showing how many votes we got for each chocolate bar combination.’ Luca Fi

‘I really enjoyed going around the class and asking people what their favourite new chocolate bar would be.’ Bella

‘On Wednesday afternoon, we got to design our own chocolate bar wrappers and gave them names. We also made them 3d using the chromebooks.’ Lauren

‘Our chocolate bar was called Noreo, which is a combination of Nutella and Oreo!’ Tia

‘Our design was a half and half bar called Bronkat. One half was oreo and KitKat and the other was brownie and KitKat.’ Warren & Hamiz

‘On Friday in our table groups we all had the chance to make our own chocolates!’ Heather

‘We melted chocolate and had the option to put sprinkles, oreos, smarties and marshmallows inside. In mine, I put oreos and marshmallows.’ Leaah

‘I enjoyed this lesson because I love chocolate! We learned that the chocolate turned from a solid into a liquid and then back again.’ Sophia

‘This process is called solidifying. My chocolate was called Oreo Delight and I made a poster to advertise my chocolate bar,’ Molly

‘Today we also got to go down to the P1 classrooms and read to our buddies.’ Eleanor

‘When Luca and I went to read to our buddy, he had chosen Monkey Puzzle for us to read to him. It included lots of rhyming words.’ Euan

 

‘Our buddy picked a book called Giraffe Can’t Dance. Other animals were making fun of him but at the end he learned how to dance and they all encouraged him.’ Lexi

 

 

‘I hope you have learned more about what we have been up to this week and see you soon!’ Isla

We are off to eat our chocolate now!  🙂

 

 

Welcome to this week’s blog!

‘In Outdoor Learning, Mrs Hobson gave us two tasks. Our group completed a task were we  had to  wedge an object between 2 trees.’ Hamiz

‘There were a few tasks like stacking stones, tie two sticks together or create a spiral.’ Nathan

‘Me and my group made a circle using leaves and then we started to make a structure you could see from far away. We used wooden planks for this.’ Harry

‘I created  a shape using sticks and made them stand up in the mud.’ Hashim

 

 

‘The sun was in my eyes!’ Bruce

‘When we were doing our Topic lesson, we created three questions each and sixteen of us quizzed the class.’ Sam

‘The quiz was all about the battle of Culloden.’ Isla

‘I learned that some Scottish clans fought on the Redcoat’s side of the battle.’ James

”In Maths, my group were learning about multiplying numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000. We pretended that we were bunnies and had to hop!’ Molly

‘The cuboids were learning about fractions. We had to find equivalent fractions and matched them up.’ Evan

‘I was learning multiples and square numbers. We completed a multiples worksheet. ‘ Nathan

 

‘In P.E. we were developing our fitness through hockey. We were playing a game a game called Traffic Jam, were you had to stop the ball if Mrs Hobson called out red. You had to dribble through the cones if she shouted green. If amber was called, we had to change direction.’ Luca Fi

‘We also got into partners and had to pass the ball using a push pass in hockey.’ Nathan

‘At the start, we played two games to warm us up. They were Chaos Tig and Port, Starboard.’ Ayyan

 

‘In Health and Wellbeing, we were learning about COP26. We got little cards that mentioned a problem in our world. For example, heatwaves.’ Luca Fr

‘Then we took turns to discuss the ones that we thought were most important and tried to convince our team.’ Lauren

‘This activity was called Diamond 9. My group thought that animals becoming extinct, was the most important problem to be solved.’ Leaah

‘In Writing, we had to imagine we were in the battle of Culloden or the battle of Stirling Bridge We had to write about what we could see, hear, touch, taste and smell.’ Bella

‘I enjoyed imaging what it would be like fighting the enemy with the Scottish clans.’ Ayyan

‘We had to include senses and describe the setting.’ Hamiz

Thank-you for reading this week’s blog. We hope to see you next week. Have a good weekend!

Welcome to the P6a blog! Continue to see what we have been doing below.

‘In P.E. today, we started off with a warm up game (Octopus tig) then we moved on to our new focus, which was fitness in hockey. We learned to control the ball and how we should hold the hockey stick properly.’ Ayyan

‘In outdoor learning we had to find a natural object that looked like a 3d shape. The second task was to build a 3d shape!’ Hamiz

‘My team built a square based pyramid, using wood and a pallet.’ Warren

 

‘During writing, we were working on creating a setting by looking at a picture of a snowy woodland scene and trying to describe it.’ Molly

‘I liked to imagine myself inside the cozy house, sipping some hot chocolate, watching the snow fall down.’ Ayyan

‘With Mrs Hutchison, we were focusing on drawing continuous lines. This is when you draw one line and you finish when you have lifted the pencil off the paper, when the drawing is complete.’ Harry

‘I found it quite easy drawing scissors but it was harder to draw our hands.’ Heather

‘Everybody in class had to create Rangoli patterns to celebrate the festival of light, called Diwali. We drew flowers with chalk and we walked around to see what everyone else had created.’ Warren

‘We had a sheet with different examples of patterns.’ Lexi

‘The patterns included different shapes and lotus flowers.’ Bruce

‘In Maths we were learning about quadrilateral shapes. There was one called a parallelogram. Parallel means two lines that will never meet each other.’ Harry

‘There was also a shape called a rhombus, which is like a square version of a parallelogram.’ Eleanor

‘The reason why we look so funny in some photos, is because it was Break the Rules Day today!’ Lauren

‘Some of the rules we could break were wild, crazy hairstyles, we could wear onesies to school and we were allowed to wear different socks and shoes.’ Bella

‘Some people wore dressing gowns or onesies  or brought in diluting juice in their water bottles. This is all to raise money for new P.E. equipment.’ Evan

‘You had to bring 50p in for every rule you broke. Hopefully  we raised lots of money!’ Hamiz

Thank-you for reading this week’s blog, We hope you have an amazing weekend!
