In French, we have been learning about the Family. We can introduce our family by saying ‘Voici….’ and we are learning the different between mon and ma (my)when introducing male and female family members. It is tricky because we know each noun in French is either feminine or masculine. We are getting there! Here is a reading piece we completed. We are starting to recognise vocabulary within a text and we are using our problem solving skills to work out the meaning of words we have never seen before.
Inheritance
In Science we are learning about characteristics and inheritance. We were given pictures of random people and we had to put them into families due to their characteristics. We got to design our own creatures, we would draw a female a male and their offspring. By Adam and Jody
#FOREVERYCHILD
P 6/7 have been learning about poetry and we linked it to our right of the month. Lots of authors around the world participated in an event organised by UNICEF called tiny stories so we decided to take part too. We wrote a poem about what we want for every child, all of them were very good but Alexander Street’s (P6) stood out.
What I want for every child
By Alexander Street
I want every child to
have a home with lots of room
to play in.
I want every to
be able to look into the eyes
of a loving parent or guardian.
I want every child to
wake up and hear birds singing
instead of gunshots.
I want every child to
run away from a tigger
instead of their home.
I want every child to
have a full meal
instead of the remains of one.

Poppy Appeal November 2016
P7 made a presentation about Rememberance Sunday and we will be selling poppies to the whole school starting this week.
P6/7 become Victorian Pupils
In IDL we have been learning about the Victorians. Last week we were lucky enough to visit Scotland Street Museum to experience what it was like to be a Victorian pupil. Every time we were asked a question, we had to stand up and say the answer, then say ‘sir’ at the end. Some children had to wear a ‘dunce’ hat, which was used to ridicule children who got the wrong answer. We also had to do handwriting with a quill dipped in ink. Mine was a mess!! Adam Pollok P7
