P7/6 Term 4
Welcome to the P7/6 blog we will be discussing what we have already been up to this term and what we plan to do.
This term, we have P.E. every Monday and Tuesday and outdoor learning is every 2nd Thursday.
Sports day is coming up on the 4th June 2024. We are also preparing for P7 Leavers assembly and Prize Giving on the 19th June 2024.
We have just finished our 4-night residential trip at Dolphin House. We stayed in dorms with some of our friends and had lots of fun. Charlie, who works at Dolphin House, was our dorm inspector. He came into our dorm after breakfast each morning and graded it from 1-10. ‘Sett’ dorm won the tidiest dorm of the week with a score of 37.
We completed lots of team building activities together and explored the history of Culzean. We loved having the park to ourselves in the evenings! We played sardines – it was our favourite.
On the Cornish Hill Walk, we learnt about all the different types of mosses. They were telling about this house and where the old house used to be. We found a geocache and wrote our names in it. We also had lunch in a forest and went all the way up to the top and we got a full class photo at the top. We used our coasteering skills to find the right way to the top. It was hard but we enjoyed it and felt a sense of achievement afterwards.
We also went rock pooling on Culzean beach. We went down to the beach there was a lot of watery pools so we were given buckets to put nature in safely. We also went caving. We had to wear hard hats with torches in order for us to be able to see and be safe. We crawled into the cave at the back, turned our lights off and told scary stories!
We went abseiling and also did a litter pick on Maidens beach. Over the course of the week, we were working towards achieving our John Muir Award.
On the final evening, we had a disco. We got dressed up, put on music and danced. We all had fun!
On Wednesday 1st May the P7’s who are going to Girvan Academy after the summer went on a bump up day and got a timetable to follow for the day. Last term, the P7’s going to Girvan went to Ballantrae Primary with the other small village school to meet each other and did activities every Thursday for 4 weeks.
On the 15th May, Primary 6 all get to attend a sports event at Girvan Academy.
At the Bump Up day at Carrick Academy and Queen Margaret Academy they played games in the hall there – things like golf and rugby and so on.
This term, our Talk for Writing text is ‘The Storm Unicorn. We created our own story maps and recorded key vocabulary and features of an information text. We also acted out the machine using drama. We will soon complete our boxing up to prepare to write our hot task.
In maths, we are focussing upon building our confidence with number. We are using a range of strategies to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
