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.

Da Trowie Song
Leo and Ruben joined some pupils from Primary 4/5/6 to sing Da Trowie Song to primary 2/3/4.
Leo played the ukulele and Ruben was on the guitar.
Thanks to Mrs Inkster for the recording and having the boys along!
Today, we have had a visit from Hannah Anderson, who works for Dogs Against Drugs. We have learned about what the charity does to help keep us all safe.
They have an amazing team of very clever dogs, who are highly trained to sniff out illegal substances. Hannah brought in her dog, Hera to meet us too!

Enterprise
We have been working extremely hard creating products to sell.
There has been lots of learning as we have worked though the project, we have used Excel to build spreadsheets to track spending and cost, we have build an understanding of ordering materials, and how to make products that will be appealing to our customers. 
Children’s Classic Concert
This afternoon P6/7 and P4/5/6 were treated to a visit from the Children’s Classic Concert. We saw a huge variety of instruments and lots of us got to have a go too! 
Term 4 Learning
This term we are planning lots, it’s going to be busy!
