Welcome to Primary 6 and our first Reflective Friday post. We are all excited and happy to be back at school even thou it is different to what we remember. Since we have come back we had to learn about our new rules and routines, it was hard trying to remember our one way systems, our Zones and bubbles but after a few days we got there. First Friday Mass has been different for us as we are unable to go, however due to technology we have been lucky to watch it live in our classroom which makes us still feel included.
We have been talking about our emotions and feels a lot since we have come back to school and emotion works have helped us understand these emotions. During class we have been working on our class novel The Queens Nose which we all enjoyed. Our new novel is called Tribe by Catherine MacPhail which we started this week in class. We are already gripped by the new novel and enjoying the main themes it already covers. In Maths we have already covered Place Value, Rounding and estimating and currently on Addition/ Subtraction. Our mental agility is improving everyday as we work through our Number Talks. Our new Topic is Scottish Inventors and Inventions which we are really enjoying, especially how Scotland has helped create and shape the world we living today and how the inventions was created so long ago but we still use them today. We did have suggestions about creating our own from new games, flying boards to even finding a vaccine for Covid- 19. Primary 6 also started Science last week which takes a deeper look into our Solar System, which have been researching facts and information about each planet including our own planet Earth. We have still managed to do Art in class and looking at various artists including Vincent Van Gogh. We are looking at how he used his emotions through colours to create his paintings, which even inspired us to use happy colours to create our own replica painting of Sunflowers.
Primary 6 still all had the chance to write application forms for Vice captains for each house, everyone took part in this and a few where selected by Mrs Willison. On Thursday the 10th Sep P4-7 got a chance to watch our campaign videos and vote for their vice-captain.
After the September weekend we have a lot more planned with ICT, PE, Spanish and Heath and Wellbeing. Miss Verrecchia is going to try and included as much as possible in our timetable to make sure we are slowly getting back to the new normal. We are all still excited for this year and to make Primary 6 the best year yet.
Thank you from all of Primary 6.
