This week P6 did their Rights and Respecting Showcase! They have been working extremely hard on their songs and we are so proud of them all! Thank you to everyone who came to see P6 and we hope you enjoyed the show!

This week we did maths I thought it was very fun! We did frequency. Then we went outside with chalk and we drew bar charts it was about favourite colours which include blue green purple red and pink. We did it with our working buddies.           Next in writing we did explanation writing about plastic pollution and to reduce,reuse and recycle the plastic to help sea creatures so that they don’t choke on the plastic.
Afterwards we did reciprocal reading in groups we are reading islands of the Pacific Ocean the book is quite cool and the other group reads far from the city they say it is a great book! Then everyone gets a job for reading.There is a leader, clarifiers questioners, summarisers and predictors as well we do them after reading the book.

Last week, we put our persuasive writing skills to the test by writing letters to the children of Wallacewell Primary, encouraging them to pick up their litter and help keep our playground clean. We also took action ourselves by joining the school litter pick, made even better by the glorious sunshine! In maths, we’ve been working with money, adding up totals and working out change from £10. We’ve also started our exciting new topic on castles! So far, we’ve been learning about the defensive features of famous Scottish castles and how they helped protect the people who lived in them.

P6B have been hard at work practising for their upcoming Showcase! We have created beautiful pieces of art that symbolise Children’s Rights and we cannot wait to display them on the stage.

We have been practising our songs and have shown incredible enthusiasm for our show!

On top of all of this, we did a whole-class litter pick around the car park to keep our school and community tidy and we also read a poem at assembly for our retired janitor Andy! P6B are incredibly busy over the next few weeks and we are excited to show you what we have been working on.

I liked creating an imaginative comic strip because we got to illustrate it so drew more than we wrote. Bella

Athletics was fun! I like running and jumping. Charlie

We started to learn hockey skills. I was better at that than football. Alice

I haven’t done hockey before but it was lots of fun – better than football. Sara

I liked building castles made of shapes in the playroom. Finn

We learned lots about Glasgow – The tree that never grew, the bird that never flew, the fish that never swam and the bell that never rang. Jessica

We made Glasgow landmarks using clay. I made the Armadillo. Lily

This week P6B looked at the layers of the ocean and all the wonderful animals that live there! We labelled a diagram that showed the 5 different layers of the ocean, and now we are working on a class display!

We used our iPads to research marine life and drew pictures of them that will be displayed on our topic wall. They will be placed within the ocean zone that they live in. We have worked incredibly hard on this and the drawings are beautiful!

See us next week for the finished result!
