Welcome back Primary 6. We hope that you are all well and have had a lovely holiday.
Our Home Learning Sway is on the Home Learning tab on the bar above. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing your work either through our P6 Teams page or via email.
What a brilliant Christmas Week we have had in Primary 6A.
Throughout December we have opened our Class Advent Calendar, told jokes, identified flags of many countries and found out some of their Christmas traditions.
We were given Christmas fun glasses to wear all week and take home on Friday.
On Monday we used compasses to create snowmen, Christmas puddings, wreaths and Santa faces. We created Christmas stockings by sewing felt together. We started our robin calendars – a present for home and our Christmas cards.
On Tuesday we made tricky snowmen snowflakes and our festive ‘movie’ place mats. We had a wonderful movie afternoon watching Mr Bean at Christmas and Polar Express. Thank you to the Social and Leisure Committee for providing us with yummy snacks.
On Wednesday we made Chocolate Truffles to take home. This was great fun. We also made Santa Boxes from one piece of A4 red card. The measuring was tricky and you had to be accurate.
On Thursday we watched the brilliant Kingsland Christmas Story. We finished our calendars and cards. In the afternoon we watched an excellent pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk. Thank you Social and Leisure Committee for providing us with popcorn and juice.
On Friday we watched our Christmas Service and the Christmas Nativity Story. We tidied up the classroom ready for next year! Mrs Ward also delivered extra cups of popcorn at brunch.
Throughout the week, we have really enjoyed our Kahoot Quizzes created by ourselves and/or ready made ones. This has been exciting and great competitive fun. We have also enjoyed the Inspire Learning Sketches School activities.
Primary 6A would like to wish everyone A …..
Stay safe, take care. See you all in 2021 for Block 3!
We were very busy today making chocolate truffles. Parents and carers please enjoy, these are delicious.
Then we made out Santa Boxes. We had to measure, cut and fold accurately.
We also enjoyed our Christmas Lunch together. Thank you Mrs Clyde and staff, it was scrumptious.
We had a great time watching Polar Express. Thanks to the Social and Leisure Committee for the yummy snacks.
We enjoyed creating these tricky snowflakes.
We had fun using Sketches School to create these baubles with help from Inspire Learning.
We have worked hard at decorating our door for Christmas.
We have been learning about Onomatopoeia. This is when a word sounds like the thing that it describes. These words are used for literary effect.
We have enjoyed opening our advent calendars this week; playing games, learning about what other countries do at Christmas, hearing jokes and thinking about being kind.
We have written our assessed piece of writing on The Digestive System.
We have thoroughly enjoyed finding out about Online Safety through ThinkUKnow videos and games.
We started our Reading Connectors Groupwork when we each get a turn at being a leader and have to summarise what we have read.
We performed a Scottish group dance in PE using lots of movements from different Scottish dances.
In Health and Wellbeing we have created posters to advertise ourselves as A Good Friend.
Flo has enjoyed playing Solitaire which was a game on the Advent Calendar and the ThinkUKnow work.
Mea really enjoyed the onomatopoeia work creating our class display.
Maisie had fun decorating the door.
Lucy enjoyed using zentangle patterns for her Christmas Bauble.
Kirsty enjoyed the Connectors work reading the book Schemes, Scams and Hoaxes.
We have been working hard researching different Body Systems. We made and used our notes to create information reports.
We have been learning about the Digestive System this week and we tried the Cracker Challenge! We were challenged to eat three crackers within 1 minute. The crackers were completely dry and we could not drink anything during our minute. We thought it was an easy task but it wasn’t.
It was incredibly difficult to eat three crackers in 1 minute as the body doesn’t produce sufficient saliva during that short time to digest the very dry food. Our saliva contains enzymes that begin the digestive process but it also lubricates the mouth to allow us to easily swallow. This is why it was such a difficult challenge.
We worked in our problem solving groups to solve Cross Numbers which involved using the four arithmetical operations.
This week we have also been working on:
We have opened our class advent calendar every day and looked at a Kindness Advent Calendar. We have also enjoyed our daily Christmas jokes.
Remember to email me with your movie choice as soon as possible.
What have you learned this week? Answers in the comments.
We have researched and taken notes on the Muscles in the human body. We then used our notes to create an Information Report.
We finished our novel Holes and the movie Holes and compared the two.
In numeracy we are still trying to get quicker at recalling our times tables and used this knowledge in long multiplication sums.
Some of us brushed up on our European facts ready for the Euro Quiz team selection.
We have continued to study how to keep safe on line.
What has been your
