Space Topic

We have had fun creating a display of information about Space. Don’t the boards look great?

We will continue with our Space topic for the rest of January. The personal research talks were fantastic and the pupils used such an interesting variety of media to present them – powerpoints, models, posters, news reports and even videos. Well done everyone.

Our next step is to explore the discussion of ‘Should we go into Space?’ and to consider the features of persuasive arguments before writing our own.   Hmmm… ‘Should school holidays be longer?’

And so we begin Term 3 in Primary 6!

Welcome back to Term 3 and I hope that 2017 is a happy, healthy year for us all.

This week, we have launched straight into our Burns’ poem, ‘To a Mouse’, in preparation for the Burns’ competition on Friday 27th January. If your child is one of the 3 finalists chosen from the class, you will be invited to the afternoon recital of all finalists. I hope you enjoy practising the poem with your child. We have worked very hard to understand it, and to gain a deeper understanding Robert Burns, ‘the man’, through reading his poetry.
