P6

P6/7’s class this week we  have been practicing the words for Scottish month and our songs are Donald Where’s Your Trousers and  New Shoes.

In maths we also did perimeter with Mrs Cornwell, perimeter is the outside measurement of a shape put together to get the total perimeter.

In gym we have been practicing for the athletics and also skipping and dodge ball  the P7’s have been going to the high school for gym  they have been doing gymnastics they learned how to do different shapes and moves it is very hard but fun as well.  P6’s have been doing skipping and Mrs White  told us to try double dutch but it was very hard but we will all get the hang of it soon.

In expressive arts p6 have been looking at Charles Rennie Macintosh and creating our own stain glass windows while P7 have been painting pictures like Jack Vettriano

This week we have been learning about media studies all of us got 8 questions to write down then we all watched a trailer on “How to Train your Dragon”, and “Arthur and the Invisibles” after the trailer finished we went back and wrote down the answers to the questions we haven’t been doing it for that long but we are hoping we will be doing some more.

In maths we have started doing some measuring with Mrs Cornwell we only started doing measuring on Tuesday we are looking forward to learning more about measuring. With Mrs White we have learning about money and budget and planning the Christmas party that we are going to have.

In gym we have been practicing new dances for our party on the 22^nd of December the dances we have been learning are e.g Gay Gordans, Virginia reel, Dashing white sergeant, Canadian Barn dance.

In I.C.T, it was so fun, we have been typing up prices and writing letters using XL and word.

In German we have learnt some Christmas words including silent night that we are going to sing at the Christmas service we all know the song well and we can’t wait to sing silent night to the whole school and parents. We all enjoyed what primary 5 did for the school last week we loved the home made cakes they made we also enjoyed guessing the teddy’s birthday we wonder who guessed it right.

We all know how much fun we had on Friday with the Christmas Jumper Day.  What a fabulous way to have fun for a good cause.

What a busy week we have had thank you for reading, by Alicia Stewart and Jack Miller.

Don’t we look very festive!

Today we are no longer ‘The class in the High school’ as we moved into our gorgeous new room in the fabulous new huts.

Although we said a fond farewell to the room  in CHS that has given us such an amazing learning environment  since August, we know that some of the P7s  could find themselves working there again in just 8 months time.

We are all really excited about being back at ‘ home’ again and can’t quite believe that this amazing room is  actually our new classroom!!

We had a brilliant time at the Athletics event on Wednesday 26th November at The Tryst. All of our 24 athletes gave 110% effort and we were delighted to be placed second in our group. This means we do not automatically get into the North Lanarkshire finals but there is still a chance we could be picked to go  as the fastest runners up. The children supported each other, celebrated all the results and personal achievements and were a real credit to the school.Thanks to Mrs Young for her excellent support too.

We have all been learning rugby.  The Primary 7s have been doing it on the pitches altogether and the Primary 6s have been doing it in the hall.  We have all really enjoyed learning rugby. Our favourite part has been tag rugby it is so fun. We all hope we can do it again! There is no tackling aloud. We all ran about tagging each other. Leah kept banging her leg! We scored around 28 points! Some other rules are that you are not allowed to throw forward. By Eve and Rachel

We have all been very busy  doing addition and subtraction with decimals. Today  we were reflecting on our learning by thinking about the skills we have acquired, what we can do with these skills…now and in the future…and  what other  parts of this topic we would like to know about.

We are still working  with money, to help us get our Christmas  dance organised, and we are moving on to look at length and estimating.

We really enjoyed this session today… it’s good to see how much we  now know about  decimals.

On Friday we had our epic class assembly. We explored the world of China and dived deep into food security.

Fee Fi Fo Fum !!! We would like to introduce you to our bun loving giant.

We had lots of fun with Daniella Ella lawson and her glam assistant

We created lovely powerpoints about animals and plants

Wooooo it was also Halloween!

We closed our assembly in style with the Monster Mash.

With a huge thanks to all the parents, relatives and carers who attended…and helped with the scones!

Kilbowie Day 4 Last Activity Day

Yesterday we got a talk from the animal expert called Derek.  He was really good at telling us about lots of different types of animals, we got to try flapjacks.  Then we got taken out to see if we had caught any mice, then we went to the football pitch and we got to see Derek’s gulls it was amazing to see it.  By Sam

Room 18

Yesterday we had Safari with Derek. We went into his lab and we saw lots of really big goldfish. Then we went outside and he called his gulls to follow him, it was really cool. After we went to find traps to look for mice, shrews and voles but we had to look out for weasels. There were no animals in the traps so we went to the football pitch to feed the gulls. Derek threw tons of bread around and not all his gulls came..some ravens came too. When we went back to the lab, we got news that Mammoths might be coming back using Asian elephants DNA…very exciting stuff!!

Jack…..Yesterday we had Safari, it was very interesting. Derek is so funny…he showed us a video of an Innuit fishing  and some real mouse traps in the grounds of Kilbowie. There was nothing in the traps ! He showed us some animal bones and animal skins…some of them belonged to red deer. He said that by planting an acorn we could help make an oak tree.

Yesterday was amazing. I did kayaking as our morning activity we went round an island we stop to go on an island there was 4 mountains the 1^st one was small the 2^nd one was bigger the 3^rd one got bigger the 4^th one was the biggest I kept saying to myself. “if I don’t do it I will regret it” I did all of them I was so proud. –Paul
