Primary 6/7a November update

November was a very busy month for primary 6/7a, our Primary 7’s spent a week away in Kilbowie with Miss McGuire and the Primary 6’s stayed here with Mrs Leblond and Miss Gallagher. The primary 7’s had a great time and enjoyed all the activities that we took part in, coasteering and gorge walking were our favourites. Primary 6’s did a lot of learning while we were away, they designed their own children’s hotel and learned about remembrance day too.

In literacy, we all started new novels. We are using 2 Cathy McPhail books, Mosi’s War and Tribes, we are really enjoying them so far and can’t wait to keep reading. In Maths, we have been doing written and mental addition and subtraction. We are getting much better at this but need lots of practise. We have loved learning about schools in the Victorian era, we were really surprised about the punishments they used to receive and are very grateful that they are no longer used in schools.

We have also been very busy working on businesses for Entrepreneur me. We enjoyed thinking about what we could sell and creating our business plans. We are ready to start making our products and can’t wait to sell them during the nativity shows in a few weeks.

We are looking forward to the month of December and all the Christmas activities that we have coming up.

P5/6 October Reflective Friday

This month has been an important one for the children in our class who have been working hard to prepare for First Friday Mass which they will lead this Friday, All Souls Day. In preparation for this Mass, for the past few weeks we have been remembering our own loved ones who have gone before us, and the children have spent time practising their prayers which they will read on Friday.

On a different note, this month the children also had the exciting task of designing comic strips to teach other children about the health benefits of incorporating more eggs into their diet. These comic strips will be entered into a competition where the winner will have their comic strip drawn by a professional comic book artist!

The children got to see a Treasure Island production which took place within the school, and which they really enjoyed. They also loved doing their Halloween arts and crafts activities in the lead up to Halloween.
