Craft and Design
This morning we were set a task…
We had to design, then craft a device that allowed all of our team members to draw at the same time, but nobody was allowed to touch the pen while it was drawing. We had string, one pen, tape, scissors and paper.
Here are some of our finished drawings, can you tell what they are!?

Active Maths
This morning we have been very active in our maths. We are just starting a block on addition and subtraction so have played games to revise our mental maths skills and refresh number bonds. By keeping these strong, we will be able to apply our learning to bigger sums.
In this game, each cone had a value (not that we knew that until the race was over!)We had to relay with our partners to collect cones, when the time was up, each colour of cone was given a value, we then had to add the totals of our cones up to see who won it’s the highest score. 
P6/7 Class Charter
In our classroom, we have worked together to form our class charter. This is how we want our learning environment to be, and would like everyone that comes in to our class to follow this too.
Stop Motion Films
We have been planning and creating stop motion films to explain what an ecosystem is.
We have been using the environment around us to help make out films.
We are planning on showing our finished films to P4/5 soon.
Place Value Games
Today we have started a maths unit on Place Value. We’ve played a couple of games that proved to be very competitive! 
P6/7 Curricular Overview
We have lots of exciting things planned in our learning, we will often alter things as we go, and respond to everyone’s interests.
British Sign Language
Today in Primary 6/7 we have been working with Mrs Wells from the Education Outreach Service to start a 6 week block learning British Sign Language.
We have given thought to all the different ways we communicate and how important they are. We’ve found out that communication is so much more than sound, and we have looked at the importance of facial expressions. 
Welcome To P6/7
Welcome back to all the pupils today, it has been lovely seeing everyone back, and has felt like a happy place to be.
Primary 6/7 have had a day of settling back into school life today, we created self portraits to add to our collections that have been growing since we drew them in nursery. We then animated our portraits which caused a fair bit of amusement for us all.
We have started to think about building our own arcade machines, which is going to challenge us to use lots of problem solving skills over the next few days.
We have given thought to what we want to learn in our topic on Rainforests and Biodiversity, then finished the day with some games outside.
Personal Topics
Over the last few weeks we have been working hard on personal research topics on areas of history that interested us.
We held a sharing afternoon with P4/5/6 yesterday, looking at their work too.
It was lovely to see everyone take such pride in their work and to see so many creative ways of displaying work.
