This afternoon we had another getting to know  activity- The Smartie Game.  It was tasty and good fun.  Then we had 6 different activities to complete in our groups.

Welcome to P6. I look forward to working with your child and you over the next year. Everyone looked so bright and cheery in their school uniforms. After had a good discussion about  expectations from me and from the children, we settled down to some Literacy. 

More information will follow but our PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Children can bring their kit every week or leave it in school. It would be useful if the children could bring in an old shirt, t-shirt or apron for when we are painting.  Please ensure that all items belonging to your child  are labelled clearly.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Tonight is our premiere of The Rootin’ Tootin’ Rodeo. Children should arrive at 6.30pm and they can bring a small drink & snack, if they wish.  The show starts at 7pm.

Children will get changed into their outfit for the show then P6s will go to Miss Donald’s classroom and P5s will go to Miss Park’s classroom.  After the premiere, Children will leave their outfit in school for tomorrow’s matinee then they can be collected from the classroom door or fire door of Miss Donald or Miss Park.   Every child must be collected by a responsible adult at 8.20pm.

These will be the same arrangements for tomorrow night’s performance unless otherwise stated.

This morning we continued our work on advertisement. We were writing an advert for a hoverbike.  We’ve started to plan our advert, keeping in mind the success criteria. Tomorrow we will write up our advert and post them in our blog

This morning we had a successful dress rehearsal.  Everything went to play and the singing was super.  Now all we need is an enthusiastic audience 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This morning, as part of our Health and Well Being work, we had to interview someone who has a career in sport.  We interviewed Lewis Brown, Scottish Champion for 400m and athletic coach at Broadwood. We asked him lots of questions about how he got started in athletics, how many medals he has won, how does he prepare for competitions, who inspired, how does he train,  and what other sports he’s been involved in?

We then had a few races with Lewis and we were amazed at his speed.  Mrs Pollock couldn’t take part because she didn’t want to run faster than Lewis.

Anyone who hasn’t brought in their outfit for the school show, the dress rehearsal is tomorrow so it needs to be brought to school tomorrow.

This morning, as part of our maths and road safety work, we measured out the braking distances for 30mph, 40mph, 50mph, 60mph and 70 mph.  We were shocked to discover that a car travelling at 40 mph needs 36 metres to stop safely.

7 children still need to bring in their outfit for the school show. Please send into school ASAP- thanks.

This week there is no formal homework.  However, previously for homework, you were asked  to organise your outfit for the school show.  Your outfit must be brought to school this Wednesday (14th June)  in a bag with your name on the bag.

Rehearsals are in full swing and today any left over tickets were available to buy from the office.  If you haven’t got your tickets yet please send in your money asap as we don’t want you to miss out on our fantastic performance.

This morning we were hoping to go outside for athletics but due to the monsoon that hit Cumbernauld, we decided to play some athletic games indoors.

If you haven’t already done so, please remember to bring in your outfit for the school show by Wednesday 14th June. It would be helpful if you could put your name on the bag with your outfit in.
