Primary 6/7b May 2019

May has been another very busy month for 6/7b.

Health week was jam packed with activities . We kept very active, and made ourselves some sandwiches which we had at our whole school picnic. We took part in the Big Clean Up which saw us all clear up our local area. We were really shocked at the amount of glass in the park.

P7s have had their two day visit followed by the Smoothie Challenge from the maths department.

We had a great night at Hampden Park when we went to see Scotland V Jamaica. A 3-2 win for Scotland’s ladies before they head to the World Cup in France. Go Scotland!

In class we have been learning about negative numbers and doing some algebra. We also did some persuasive writing with Mrs Henry when we were learning more about alcohol and smoking. We had a class debate on the use of these substances.

Many of our pupils have been working hard in Jungle book show practice and we have been producing some great Jungle Book art.

P7s investigated the properties of substances with Cardinal Newman High School

P6s met their Buddies who are due to start school in August, they had great fun with them.

This month has been a busy month for P6/7B.

In numeracy we have been learning about speed, time and distance.

In writing we have been working on a news report about an earthquake and became editors for a day.

We loved doing our lemon volcano experiments in science, the class smelled lovely!

After mid-term break we had a two day focus on Developing the Young Workforce and learned a lot about ourselves and choices we have for the future. We watched a video conference with Miriam Christofoletti who is a robotic engineering student…she told us never to give up and not to let anyone steal away our dreams.

In our topic we have been learning about how tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.

In R.E. we have learned about St. Therese of Liseux and how she did lots of little things with a lot of love.

We learned about Chinese New Year and our art pieces reflected what we had learned. We are now doing pastel drawings of volcanoes.

We also had great fun on Global Play Day; favourites were den building and make-ups.

This month in maths we have been focusing on time and learning how to convert 12 hour time into 24 hour time and vice versa. In French we have learned about the weather and colours.  On Fridays, Cardinal Newman High School sports leaders have been coming to do P.E. with us and we are now learning skills in either netball, rugby or athletics . Cardinal Newman Science ambassadors have been in class too helping us learn about friction and air resistance.

We also got to question Dawn Childs in a live video conference, Dawn is Group Engineering Director at Merlin Entertainment. This was part of the Primary Engineering Young Leaders Award where we have to interview engineers as part of the award. This also helps us to see the jobs available to us when we are older.

We had super fun when the SSPCA came to visit us with their new robotic animals which we had to build and use code to move them around. We also played board games which helped us learn more about animals.

We have started our natural disasters topic and at present we are all busy making presentations on The Ring of Fire.

In literacy we are still trying out our paired spelling in order to help our spelling skills and have recently looked at the features of a newspaper report.

Our peer mediators did a small role play scenario at assembly to show everyone how it can benefit our school. Our rota is now up and running.

We began the month with our Entrepreneur Me activities presenting our business plans to Matt and waiting patiently to see if our loans were approved. Thankfully all were and the hard work was underway. We decided any profits from our enterprise would go to our friends in Unitas Court Sheltered Housing and to the parish St. Vincent de Paul

.

Another exciting day for us was when we were recorded by Radio Clyde morning show producer Calum for the Christmas jingle.

We had a visit to the Panto in Hamilton Town Hall, some of our class performed with the Christmas choir and we had a tasting day thanks to Barbara from Tesco.  We did lots of Christmas maths activities including co-ordinates, in literacy we did some discursive writing this month and we enjoyed making Christmas wreaths and 3D Christmas trees.

Christmas dinner was fa and we had a great day at our party.

A very busy month…now for some rest.

Happy Christmas

November Reflective Friday P6/7b: St.Andrew’s Day

Leave a comment

As part of book week Scotland we enjoyed choosing books to read to our friends in Mossend Primary.  We had fun deciding whether we could live without music or video games and we wrote a piece of discursive writing to give our views.

We have been working extremely hard on our enterprise projects with Entrepreneur Me.  Matt took a lot of persuading to give us our loans to get started.

Our P7s enjoyed a very busy week in Kilbowie making memories which will last forever and learning lots of new skills.  Over half of our class were involved in the local heat of the schools Athletics championships at Ravenscraig recently. Our school team finished in first place.

Some of our pupils travelled to St. Gerard’s Primary for netball. Well done St. Gerard’s and thank you for the hospitality.

In R.E we have created posters of Scottish Saints, this has helped us to understand why CNHS has chosen these house names .

We are all looking forward to the Christmas Fayre on Sunday 2nd December.  Please come along and buy our Christmas calendars and our key rings.

This month we have enjoyed doing Autumn art. The P7s were delighted to meet Steven Browns team and hear the McCoo stories. P~buzz music lessons have started and everyone is trying hard to get the blowing right. We had a visit from author Stuart Reid who told us some stories about Gorgeous George. We had also researched the forth rail bridge as part of our Victorian topic, great Victorian engineering. We have continued to read Jammy Dodgers On The Run for language. We have enjoyed teachers coming in from Cardinal Newman. Today we had Ms. Beach come in for Geography and yesterday we had fun learning more about Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone with Mrs. McKendrick.

In Maths we have focused on place value. We have been learning to estimate to one decimal place. Our class bakers had a bake off competition and it was a huge success, everyone enjoyed the tasting. Boxing sessions have been challenging but we’ve had lots of fun.

Curriculum night saw many of us working hard to show our parents the kind of things we do in school.

We had fun with Mossend Primary doing the Body Works on Tour Workshops in Science.

What a busy month!

Well done to the P5-7 cross country team for an excellent effort yesterday.  The children took part in the Motherwell/Bellshill competition at Dalziel Park.  We are so proud that every child completed the challenging course.  A few children improved on their personal best! A special congratulations to one of the P7 boys who came 3rd in his race and to the P5 boys who came 1st and 2nd in their race.  Our P5 boys team came 2nd overall in their category, as did our P6 boys team and P7 boys team!
