n Today we’ve been learning about Oobleck.  It is a solid and a liquid.  Oobleck behaves like a solid or a liquid depending on the pressure exerted on it. Press it together and it feels like a solid, let it sit on your hand and it drips like a liquid.

This afternoon, we braved the elements, and played Football Rounders. Although it was wet and windy, it was also hot too.

This week, with the Active School Co-ordinators, we played Football Rounders. One person managed to get a home- Mrs Pollock!!!!! 🥇⚽️🥇 ⚽️

Have a great weekend!

This afternoon we were investigating the 3 states of matter: solids, liquids and gases.  We watched and video clip and now P6/7a would like to learn how to make Oobleck- a nonNewtonian fluid.

Today we were learning about using adverbs with stage directions. Then we split into groups of 4 and acted out Chapter 6 of Stig of the Dump when Barney meets the Snargots.  We all had our own script and we worked outside.

This morning we read Chapter 5 of our class novel, Stig of the Dump. We met  the Snargots.  It was difficult to read this chapter because the Snargots spoke in non-standard English. We rewrote sentences into Standard English.  Then we had part of our maths lesson outdoors.

This morning we were working with the Active Schools Co-ordinators. This week we played hockey  and next week we will play a different sport.  Everyone was well prepared with their kit- well done P6/7A.

Happy Weekend!

Primary 6/7 will be taking part in a 4 week block of outdoor physical education every Friday from Friday 28th August. For this block of outdoor PE children will be asked to attend school on this day wearing a waterproof jacket, plain black or grey jogging bottoms, a school polo shirt and a school jumper.

This afternoon we went outside for some fresh air and a run around after a wet play and lunch.  Remember to bring a jumper or cardigan to school as we need to keep the windows open in our classroom to ensure the room is well ventilated.

The school has a new reading programme called “Bug Club”.

Today I’ve allocated the book we’re using in class.  This eek’s book is called “Under  my Feet.”
