This has been a hectic month for P6/7b.

We have had fun whilst raising money on our Fridays in Lent so far. We have had our quiz, mad scientist/ crazy hair/odd shoe day, Pyjama and movie afternoon and today we have H-Factor, the school is buzzing!!

In maths, we have been furthering our learning in algebra and have been learning to identify, name and measure different types of angles.

In literacy, we have been continuing to use our reading strategies for comprehension and have written a persuasive letter to an engineer in the Leaders Award to promote our inventions. We have also made posters after taking part in a BBC live lesson called Blue Planet to try and warn people about the dangers of plastics in our seas. We are also now going to try to put commas in the right places.  🙂

We enjoyed science week doing a variety of experiments looking at physical and chemical changes.

The P7s took part in the Commonwealth games at Cardinal Newman with the Cluster Schools where we managed to gain the top number of points, a great effort by all.

We had a brilliant visit to Hampden Park with our friends from Mossend Primary which was a treat for us from Nil by Mouth, a huge thank you to everyone at the charity.

We had a chance to compare our work with P3/4 which was a very interesting experience for all of us, we were very impressed by P3/4’s jotter work!

We had a great day being engineers at the Forth Bridges where we built a structure which was 4.8 metres high, using individual tetrahedron shapes which we made individually then put together in groups. We were guided by a lady called Elaine Barrie who was a Civil Engineer and gave us some good advice on solving problems.

A big congratulations to Cathal and Katie for reaching the final of the Reading Quiz…good luck for the next stage.

Now we are off to enjoy our two weeks holiday…see you all in April!
