Pixton

pixton_for_schools_logo

P6 have been creating comic strips using Pixton! We have developed our technology skills by creating comics about our school show, Hoodwinked and  based on our learning of Fairtrade.

We use Pixton to develop our technology skills using our imagination and also to show our learning throughout P6.

We use Pixton for homework tasks too and  enjoy developing our skills and making our learning fun!

Gala Day 2015

On Saturday the 30th of May Wemyss Bay community came together at our annual Gala Day. Wemyss Bay Primary presented a Fair Trade stall to sell and promote our Kilombero rice. We managed to sell 28 bags as well as Fairtrade tea, coffee and snacks.

Here is a photo of our stall in action…photo 1

Thanks to Hollie, Lewis, Nicholas, James,  Jamie, Andrew, Josh, Ayla and all our adult helpers – what a success!

A fun day had by all!

P1 Induction Day 2015

Today was the Primary One Induction Day. P6 were chosen to take on  responsible roles  in helping with the induction day. There were many roles such as welcoming  and escorting the parents, taking the future Primary Ones to their new classroom to meet their new teacher, and signing visitors into our school.

We are looking forward to working with the new  Primary Ones  next year to make sure they are safe and happy at Wemyss Bay Primary. This is a big responsibility for P6, soon to be P7. We will support them by  ensuring they are accompanied in the playground and help them in the lunchroom and around our school.

In Wemyss Bay Primary this is called the Buddy System.

Responsible Citizens

WBPS LOGO

On a Friday, selected Primary 6 pupils assist Mrs Montgomery during assemblies. We help setting up the projectors and speakers in preparation for the assembly.  We sing songs about our school and my job is to scroll through the lyrics to make sure everyone can see the words and participate. Another role is to control the sound system. This is an important job that requires focus and concentration. As responsible citizens Primary 6 are the class for the job.

Our next assembly is on Friday and will be hosted by Primary 1.

Inverclyde National Training Centre 2015

P6 School Trip 2015

P6  visited Inverclyde National Training centre in Largs to develop our skills in a range of sports. These are some of the sports we participated in. The first day we participated in orienteering, archery and gymnastics events such as high bars, low bars and the rings. We also developed our trampolining skills and learned various jumps including the seat drop. During our next session we learned the rules and how to play table tennis, badminton, handball and basketball.

This was a great opportunity to learn different sports and use  professional equipment that famous athletes train with. We learned from experts and challenged ourselves by trying new activities and pushing ourselves to the limit!
