Miss Nelson and Primary P6 invite you to share in their learning.
I have been so impressed with some of the homework I have been getting back the past fortnight!
Here are some of the examples of the tessellation designs the children came up with.
Keep up the good work P6!
Here is next homework sheets, there are a few spares in the homework corner of our classroom!
Miss MacLean
This week we’ve been busy!
First in P.E on Thursday we spilt in to teams to play basketball and my team even shot two baskets!
Next in maths we’ve been doing some work on factors and multiples. We also moved groups on Wednesday and we made our group names to do with winter! The group names are: Santas Little Helpers, The Christmas Giraffez, The Snowballs, The Silly Snowmen and Santas Winter Wonderland Workers. The reason we changed group names is because we swapped seat!
On Tuesday Jonathan Paterson came to our school (he’s a Paralympian) and he did fitness circuits and an assembly about himself. We all had fun.
With Mrs Fleck we have been doing subtraction and a bit of HWB – exculded and included along with committees.
And finally we found out our new topic: The Victorians!
It will also be rememberance day soon so we’ve all been wearing poppies in school lately.
What a busy week!!

We have had a really busy few weeks in primary 6. We finished out Japan topic by making sushi. The fillings were avocado, peppers and cucumber.
In our maths we have been doing prime numbers and multiples and we are getting really good at them!
Another exciting thing is we had our class assembly on literacy strategies. We have been given our groups for literacy the Whizz Kids and the Master Minds as well as that we have strarted our new books. Our books are The Hundred Mile and Hour Dog and The Demon Headmaster.
For P.E we had to join the P7s in the high school for football.
We have done a lot of art in class lately. We have made witch hats, eyeballs and spooky cats all for Halloween.

Last Monday P6 made sushi. I loved it but most of the class didn’t like it. We used nori sheets (seaweed), rice, avocado, cucumber and peppers. We had the rice boiled before hand so the process was quicker. We used a sharp knife to cut the fruit. We put a thin layer of rice on two thirds of the nori sheet and placed the ingredients in the middle of the rice. We then rolled the unfolded sushi with cling film and then the sushi was born!
In maths we have been learning about multiples. A multiple is a number a number can be divided in to. We also learned about prime numbers which is a number that can only be divided by one and itself.
In literacy we have started our groups/ The Whizz Kids and Master Minds.
In P.E yesterday we had to play football with the P7!

For our topic our class made sushi. First we chopped cucumber, avocado and peppers. After that we spread rice out on a sheet of nori (nori is flattened seaweed) and put the vegetables on top. The we rolled it up and cut it into sections. The sushi was extremely delicious. Here are some reports on the sushi.
Adrianna: “The sushi tasted delicious”
Gregor: “I liked the sushi”
Coral: “I thought the sushi tasted like sushi”
Oisin: “Seaweed + rice = sushi”
Christie: “The sushi was nice but a bit too chewy”
Harris: “I liked making the sushi, it was fun, the rice was really, really sticky”
Abigail: “I think the sushi was very grumpy”
Caoimhe: “I am addicted to sushi it was gone in less than 10 seconds”
Miss MacLean: “It was great fun, everyones sushi looked fantastic and it tasted yummy too!”

At the Macmillan Coffee Morning on the 21st September 2017 we raised £638.82. It was on from 09:30 – 11.30am.
There was lots of tables with cakes on them and a table for drinks and sweets. At the side there was two guessing posters: guess the spots and height of the cakes. It was very busy so that meant lots of money was raised and donated to Macmillan Cancer Research.
Our class helped by being runners, money collectors and cake sorters. The runners went through the school and brought children to the hall. The money collectors collected money at the entrance and the cake sorters filled up the empty plates and gave out cakes to customers.
Lots of people wet to the coffee morning and had a great time. Here are some comments from P6:
“It was really busy!” – Kyle Cop
“It was very packed, busy and fun to help.” – Rishi
“Cakes…cakes…cakes… Lots of CAKES. Mmmmmm!” – Paul
“Everyone loved it!” – Tamara “Amazing cakes!” – Caoimhe
“The coffee morning was fun!” – Gregor.

We had such a busy week during maths week and found that maths is EVERYWHERE! The whole class worked hard to try and make different number sequences (some were really tricky that Miss MacLean had to think hard to figure them out!). Mrs Fleck had us challeneging ourselves to try and make multiple nets that would make a cube.
We also went outside to see what patterns we could find or make outdoors. The pictures show all the different ones we managed to find or make!
During Literacy we continued with our class novel – Kensuke’s Kingdom. We are getitng to the good parts and the whole class created an excellent visualiser with points that were specific to one of the main characters Kensuke. He’s a very mysterious character but I’m sure we will find out more about him.
Wednesday was photo day! We are gave our best smiles and can’t wait to see them…
In P.E we were working hard on our standing long jump and long jump, we found out that swinging our arms and bending our knees helped us to jump further!
What a busy week!!
We were very busy yesterday working hard to make different tessellation patterns.
Great start to Maths Week 🙂
Primary 6 have been so busy since the new term started we have not had time to post yet!
We are in to the swing of these full weeks now and are settling in to hard work.
In Literacy we have all been reading a book called Kensuke’s Kingdom which is about a boy who disappears before his 12th birthday! With Mrs Fleck we have been working hard at narrative writing.
During maths we have been concentrating on place value with decimal points – this can sometimes be tricky when adding and subtracting so we have been making sure that we are putting the numbers in the correct place!
Our topic this term is Japan – did you know that Tokyo is the capital city? Or that in Japan they grow square watermelons? We have been using the iPads and laptops to find out lots of interesting facts about Japan.
We have also been learning some greetings in Japanese – we are getting really good! Primary 6 have also been learning to write our names in Japanese and we have been learning about a Japanese Star Festival called – Tanabata.
We are also very lucky because this term on Thursdays we are getting to use the gym hall in the High School with the Primary 7s – its huge.
With the Primary 7s away at Kilbowie we got the chance to be monitors, we were all very responsible and luckily (or unluckily) it rained a lot last week so we got lots of chances to be wet-play monitors!
We are all looking forward to maths week next week and learning more about Japan 🙂
