After our first period we got to have an interval then we went to second period then after the second we had third period it was great fun meeting new teachers and we got to see our brothers and sisters and our cousins that go to CHS. It was great at CHS we can’t wait to go there next year.

Today we got to visit the lovely chicks in Primary 1, some of us got to hold the chicks.

 

The Morpurgo group have been looking at a book about kasper  the prince of cats.They have been looking at lots of different strategies like:

• metalinguistics
• main points
• summary
• visualiser
• group read and more

 

 

Today all the primary 6s worked together to think about how to be a good friend. We got a sheet and we had to make up instructions for the repice of a good friend.

we said friends need to be:

• honest
• respectful
• kind
• trustworthy
• safe
• goofy
• fun
• interested in your likes
• energetic
• caring
• encorouging
• playful
• reliable

we enjoyed working in pairs and trios with children from the other class.

 

we all had great fun at the obstacle course on Friday

 

 

We have all worked so hard this term to earn class pints for our hard work in class, our home work, our manners and of course taking care of our brown trout. Our hard work paid off and we won class of the term!

This afternoon we got our treat, we all voted for a onesie afternoon and we watched Paddington Bear.

We got to wear our onesies and bring in pillows and we curled up in class to watch our movie. We even got some juice, crisps, sweets and chocolate! It was fantastic!

Today we looked at time in maths.

 

we all wrote down everything we knew about time.

Rachael wanted to know how many minutes were in a year. We worked out that there are 60 minutes in an hour  and multiplied that by 24 to work out how many minutes in a day, we multiplied that by 7 then Rachael used SMILE multiplication to calculate that there are 524,160 minutes in  a year.

 

Jason wanted to work out how many seconds were in a year, we calculated how many seconds were in an hour, then a day, then a week then Jason used SMILE multiplication to work out how many seconds were in a year. There are 31,449,600 seconds on a year.

 

Today we released our Brown Trout. We were very sad to see them go but we know its for the best as they will be in their own environment.

We took our fish to Bothlyn Burn and released them into the river. It was really good to release them in our local area.

We will always remember them.

we have been working very hard to make displays for our Clyde in the Classroom topic.

 

we have sketched brown trout, we research the different fish that live in the River Clyde and we wrote down some of the cool facts we have learned.

 

Today we carried out a science investigation for our science topic ‘Chemical Changes’

A chemical change is when we mix 2 substances together to get something new

We added soap and water together to make bubbles. We stirred the solution in different techniques to speed up the reaction.

Our hypothesis for this investigation was:
Adding more soap would make more bubbles.

Things we had to keep the same was:

• temperature of water
• volume of water
• type of soap
• containers used
• number of stirs

We presented our results in a table and a graph. We carried out the investigation more than once to calculate an average result. Some of the results met the hypothesis and some didn’t.
