On Tuesday a K’nex specialist called David worked with the K’nex after school club. David taught us how to make triangles, cubes and bridges. He demonstated how to make K’nex models to be strong. Third year pupils from Chryston High came over to look at our bridges and inspected them against the criteria. We all did really well and thoroughly enjoyed our morning.

 

Yesterday P6/7 invited us to a Rober Burn’s super. We had lots of fun we had some having haggis neeps and tatties with a drink of Irn Bru. After we had finished our supper and we danced to he Grand Juke Of York. We were not very good at it though. We sang lots of songs to celebrate Robert Burns Birthday. This was a fun afternoon and P5/6 were happy to be invited .

We have been revising place value and we can do it up to 4 numbers long. We have also been learning about electricity and one day when the Primary 5s were away the P6s made circuits and the next day we showed the P5s what we know. We tried a experiment with a light bulb and a lemon. We had to use a zinc screw and a copper penny. Then we had to stick the copper and zinc in to the lemon. After that we stuck the wires on to the copper and zinc then added it to the light bulb. But it didn’t work.

P5/6 have just completed a block of learning all about 2D Shape. We have looked at parallel and perpendicular lines, regular polygons, irregular polygons and different types of triangles.

Here we are below making different types of triangles. Can you guess if it is an equilateral triangle, a scaline triangle, right angled triangle or an isosceles?

 

 

 

 

Sorry we have not blogged for quite some time. As you can see from the pictures below, we have been extremely busy practising for our school show.

P5 and P5/6 have been exploring the 90’s. We have found out that life was not that different. However, the advancements in technology have been astonishing.

We have all really enjoyed looking at fashion and listening to music from this decade

 

 

 

This morning in p5/6 we had an open morning. Most of our parents were here and we showed them around the class. We asked some of our classmates what they thought.

Liam- embarrassing because everyone looked at me whilst I was holding my little brother.

Sarah- amazing!

Jocelyn-cool.

Taylor- really fun!

Ava- I wanted to show my hard work to my mum.

Joe- it was cool to see all the parents.

Miss Wallace- it was lovely to share our class and classroom to all the parents.

Max- it was cool to see all of the parents but my mum couldn’t come.

 

We were completing the task about the similarities and differences about our topic the U.S.A. which is sadly coming to an end. We also had to do a mind map of what we now know about the U.S.A.

I asked some classmates what they found out which they didn’t know already.

Paul- George Washington started slavery!

Taylor- Christopher Columbus found America.

Jocelyn- slavery was a big thing years ago.

Sarah- I didn’t know that there were 50 states.

We are looking forward to our next topic in p5/6.

Welcome to Primary 5/6 blog page. We have all settled in really well to life in P5/6 with Miss Wallace.

Our new topic is the U.S.A. Last week, we worked in small groups to research what life was like in the U.S.A. We presented this in a PicCollage to the class. It is a fun and interesting topic.

In P.E. we have been learning the skills involved in playing Hockey. Today we were practising step, swing and hit with the ball. Then we played in small groups of three.

As it is health week all classes got a coach called Ross Sweeney either doing fundamentals or badminton with us. As we are in the senior end of the school we were doing badminton and P6 really enjoyed this. Here are some of our photos from this experience.

 

We are delighted to share this letter with you. Christian aid have sent us a letter about our coffee morning to say thank you for the money we have raised.

 

Gabby says that it was horrible seeing the refugees suffering and it’s made us happy that we have saved some refugees life’s.

Aimee says that she is happy that she worked really hard for the refugees and that they had nothing but now they might.

Bethany says that I can only hope that we have made a noticeable difference to a lot of lives.
