This week in P6b we have been learning about…

Maths

Some of the learners wanted to share what they have been learning about in maths this week and created mini lessons to share their knowledge.  They showed creativity and worked cooperatively with each other.

Literacy

This week in literacy the learners continued working on Scots language. They converted their comic strips into imaginative stories. They also continued learning about apostrophes in grammar. Everyone enjoyed writing on the tables!

IDL – Bodyworks

This week the learners started their first bodywork’s lessons with Miss Nesbitt. They started by learning about the digestive system. Everyone is really excited to learn more about it on next week’s trip to the Science Centre.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Literacy

Miss Nesbitt continued teaching Spanish this week. We revised the vocabulary for pets that we used in P5 then used this to create full sentences and have conversations.

This week’s writing lesson focused on exploring Scots language.  Mr Wilson introduced the class to a famous Scottish character, Oor Wullie. We used the text ‘Oor Wullie’ and a poem to create Scottish dictionaries then created our own comic strips!

Health and Wellbeing

This week in PE we have been working on our dance skills. We have been learning different Scottish Country dances. This week we learned the Gay Gordon’s and Strip the Willow. Miss McNeil was very impressed by how quickly everyone picked it up.

Other Curricular Areas

This week our committee members met up and continued working on their action plans.  Some of our reps also presented updates at todays assembly.

Today we enjoyed our house spirit afternoon. Have a look at Twitter for some photos from this afternoon.

This week we started planning our IDL topic with Miss Nesbitt and our new RME topic about important milestones with Mr Wilson. We also started our fundraising project. Next week’s homework task will provide more information about our project.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
