Thursday will be a devices day in P6a. Please bring your fully charged devices to class as we will be using these during literacy, French and technology lessons. When you remember on Wednesday, please remind your friends so they remember to charge devices on Wednesday night 👍.
Thanks!
Mrs Horne
Today we enjoyed activities organised by the Sports Leaders, making the most of the nicest day of 2020 far!
This week’s writing focused on news articles. P6a researched topical news stories and then produced articles, sharing the facts they had uncovered.
A number of the class today came to school expecting a class photo to be taken. Although this was not the case we took a photo anyway, so no one left disappointed. I am sure we will manage to take another amateur class photo before the end of the year, when we have no absences.
We showed props and acted out events from our favourite non-fiction and fiction books. These included Jurassic World texts, Jacobite Rebellion stories, crime fiction, Scottish characters, football tales and fantasy novels to name a few.
Mrs Tees and Mr Tyler set up our Seesaw accounts today. Soon we will be able to use our devices to share our class work with home (once Mrs Tees figures out why Mrs Horne’s account has the wrong class attached, haha)
REMINDER
Devices day is Friday this week.
Auditions will now be held in the week commencing Monday 3rd February 2020, not this Thursday or Friday as previously planned. This is to give everyone a fair chance to look at the material in preparation for the auditions as this has not yet been made available.
***Reminder***
Please could you bring in an empty playdoh or small tuperware tub on Wednesday. If you have extras please check on Teams Chat if these could be used by others in your class. Thank you!
***P6 PARTY***
On Wednesday it is also your stage party. You can wear your party clothes to school and should also bring a snack and drink to have during our party.
***P5 order***
We have discovered a stage portrait dishtowel from 2017-2018 which was ordered by someone who was absent at the end of term 4. No one in the class has claimed it, if you think this is yours please let us know and we will send this home next week.
Have a lovely weekend!
The Kirkhill Primary Technology House Challenge will be held next Friday (13th December). You have arranged your groups and discussed some ideas in class. You can use Teams to organise who is responsible for bringing in the resources you plan to use (junk modelling), but don’t give away any ideas!
