We have been learning about the parts of the Catholic Mass and our focus this week has been the Nicene Creed. We looked at the words and talked about what they mean. Since the Nicene Creed is very long, with some really challenging vocabulary, we each took a line and created a symbol to represent its meaning. We put our symbols together to create our very own Creed Beads to help us remember the words and meaning of this important prayer:

The mystery continues in Primary 6…

We were all very excited to find another letter from our mystery organisation that we can only name as MSB. The letter was hidden in an iPad!

MSB has asked Primary 6 to carry out an important survey within Townhead. We are to find out what changes and improvements children and adults would like to see in the local area. Our first task was to design a questionnaire that will help us to do this. We used the iPads to look at some good examples of questionnaires…

Then we went to the ICT suite and used our Word skills to create our own individual questionnaires. Later, we printed them off and decided in groups, which was the one that suited our needs best…

It was so hard to decide because they were all really great! We think we’ve done really well with this task and can’t wait to receive our next task from MSB.

In saying that, Aidan found a large brown envelope hidden in the class today…we’ll be opening it tomorrow. Watch this space!

So this is our first post back since the new term and what a busy couple of weeks we’ve had.

We’re already working hard on our new novels and just now, we’re learning about improper fractions by eating cake!

Our topic this term is the Scottish Parliament and already, we’ve been learning about democracy and devolved and reserved matters. We have also been learning about the Referendum and have really impressed Mrs McLean with our arguments for and against Scottish Independence.

But the most exciting news is this…yesterday, a mysterious stranger in a very smart suit delivered a letter to us! The letter was from a secret organisation (we can’t tell you the name – it’s TOP SECRET) who have chosen Primary 6 for a very special assignment. Here is the first letter…

Then, we found another letter hidden in Julia’s jotter with instructions for our first task. Here we are gathering the information that we’ve been asked for…

We’ve still some information to collect and issues to discuss before we have completed our first assignment but we’ve to keep our eyes peeled for our next instruction!

We’ll keep you posted.
