Buongiorno!
Recently in P6b we have been learning Italian!
Mrs McKenzie from St.Lukes High School has visited and taught us Italian along with some high school pupils too. Our last lesson was about Halloween vocabulary and today was about pets in Italian.We played games on Lingauscope e.g. matching up the words to the pictures.We also completed an Italian work sheet . So far we love Italian!!!!
Ciao for now, from Liam and Emma
Well done, to Gerry who is P6b’s Star of the Week! Gerry is always so resilient and good humoured in class. He doesn’t let anything phase him. A brilliant role model for others. 🙂
Have a great weekend, boys and girls! From Miss Mac.
P6b have decided that they will make yummy Grinch Popcorn to raise funds for the school at our Christmas Fair! Not only will it be a fun, creative experience but we can also create a mini unit of work related to measure.
Miss McAnally will provide popcorn bags and food colouring. The boys and girls have said that they will try to provide one small thing each. Either a bag of popcorn, some mini marshmallows or a bag of M&Ms. Your support with this would be super but there is no problem at all if you can’t bring in anything.
We need our items in for Thursday 29th November.
From the boys and girls of P6b (And Miss Mac)
Today we visited the Barrhead Foundry and we got to pick some books. We chose a mixture of fiction and non-fiction books. We walked with P1A and they enjoyed it a lot. We went to the Foundry because it was Book Week Scotland.P1A got Book Bug Bags and we hope to read with them some time too.
From Vidhi and Logan.
Literacy Homework this week is to take our first steps in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge (we have a booklet to go with it in our bags!) where we have to note down the book we’re reading and we also have to challenge ourselves to do follow up tasks at school and home. Some of us chose a book from school and others have chosen to use a book they have at home.
Numeracy Homework this week will be online homework – Sumdog’s Maths Challenge. We have one thousand questions to complete altogether at home and school. Let’s be as accurate as possible!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!
From Gerry and Jack
This weeks’ Star Pupil from P6b is Adam. Adam has had an amazing week and really stepped out of his comfort zone. Read the compliments his classmates left for him above. Well done! Have a great weekend, boys and girls. You’ve earned it.
PS – Have a great birthday, Matthew!
Dear parents and carers,
P6b’s indoor PE day is changing from a Friday to Wednesday morning from the week after next week so PE kits in on Wednesday. Thursday’s will remain our outdoor PE day. As the weather is getting colder, please bring in sensible PE kits on this day.
From Alfie and Ben
P6b celebrated World Kindness Day today and will endeavour to treat each with respect and kindness throughout our time together this year. Parents and carers, please ask your child to show your our Google Classroom so that you can see the lovely manner in which we interact with and assist each other day in and day out when working digitally. Let’s keep trying to treat other as we would wish to be treated, boys and girls!
P6b thoroughly enjoyed last month’s Halloween festivities! In an ongoing way, any engagement at home with measure (e.g. using grams and kilograms) and money within shopping contexts would be highly beneficial for the children. We are trying to focus on the kinds of skills that will help us to become life long learners, such as critical thinking, problems solving etc. So any “homework” that challenges your child to use what they have learned in school within a variety of contexts would be wonderful.
Miss McAnally is happy to report that every single child in the class either improved their score within the five minute multiplication challenge or improved their time. Thanks to the parents/carers who supported their children in practising these facts. Please keep up your efforts with this at home, boys and girls. Increasingly, we will be called upon to apply these facts within different contexts during P6/P7. Having the facts at our fingertips is our ultimate goal .
