Primary 4

When we came back after the summer holidays we  enjoyed seeing our friends and we made our own postcards with a recount of our summer.  We have started reading The Magic Carpet Slippers by Dick King-Smith.  We have read the first five chapters and we are really enjoying the story so far.  We made our own book marks this week and even got them laminated.  These will help us to keep our place when reading. In Maths we have been focusing on place value and addition.  We are learning lots of different strategies.

Our topic for this term is The Rainforest.  We have chatted about that we already know about the Rainforest and planned everything that we would like to learn in the next few weeks.  We are excited about learning about all the different animals that live in the Rainforest!We have also been learning about the life cycle of plants and talking about how they grow.

We enjoyed using chalk pastels last week during our Art lesson.  We explored blending various colours of pastels to colour the petals on the flowers that we drew.

In P.E. we have been focusing on ball skills and we have enjoyed playing some different games.  We really liked playing dodgeball!

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.
