What a quick and happy week it has been for P6B!

Celebrating Success was a great opportunity to showcase the many achievements of pupils across the school. In P6B, we were delighted for Jack, Michelle, Harry and Casey who all received a certificate in recognition of their efforts in school. Well done to you all!

Meanwhile, Noah brought in some memorabilia to share with the class which he had brought home from a recent trip to Florida. It was very interesting for us all to look at and hear about, thank you Noah!

Yesterday we enjoyed a P6 trip to Glasgow Science Centre where we took part in a ‘BodyWorks’ show and explored the floors. Stay tuned for pictures!

What a quiet week in Primary 2/1 with lots of our boys and girls off with the chicken pox.  We hope that they get better soon and are able to come back to school for lots of fun learning.

This week we had celebrating success and although there were only 11 children, we sang our song so well and made Mrs Mansfield very proud.  During circle time we had a chat about what it was to be successful and would like to share some of our successes.  Here is what we think:

Ellie – “I sang really loudly in Celebrating Success and I was proud of myself”

Teigan – ”

Poppy – “I challenged myself by thinking about different shades when I coloured in my roses”

Leila – “I am proud of myself for how well I did with my singing.  I remembered to smile too!”

Millie – “I have been successful in writing because I thought about my success criteria”

Breaghannon – “I am proud because the grown ups watched up at celebrating success”

Emily – “I am proud of being successful when I challenged myself to learn about millilitres”

Keegan – “I took my time at making a Victorian rocking horse, it is my best bit of art”

Jayden – “I was successful in maths this week, I practised weighing things”

Griffin – “I was successful in maths”

Jonah – “I tried to work hard by myself in writing this week, I still need to practise”

Max – “I am very proud of my writing.  I was successful and got a sticker”

Cameron – “I was successful at colouring in, I did a good job”

Rory – “My writing was a big success this week, I concentrated”

This week we have been continuing our electricity topic of ‘The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch’ by making a working circuit using a battery, wires and a bulb.  We experimented with our wires to see how to connect the circuit correctly and we discovered that we needed to have the 2 wires connected together to the battery and the bulb in order to light it up.

We have been continuing to practise our Celebrating Success song and we hope to see you there on Tuesday 16th of May at 1.30pm 🙂

We have been busy writing about our seagulls Fred, Bob and Bert who were really naughty to Mr Grinling, eating his lunch and going on adventures.

We worked together in teams to complete the circuits, recording our timings, effort and performance as we went.

There was lots of fun had when we all took part in a class relay to find the fastest runner of the girls and boys.

Well done to the super speedy Mark and Fiona!

This week has been a fabulous week with lots of fantastic learning.  Mrs Mansfield is very proud of us for all our hard work! Magic Grandad has been teaching us about the Victorians, here are some of the things that we have been learning:

Keegan – “I learned that a long time ago they didn’t have baths with taps”

Griffin – “The people needed to heat water up on the fire”

Ellie – “In the Victorian times the toys were different.  Some children had to make peg dolls”

Cameron – “They didn’t have televisions or games – that was a surprise”

Rio – “There are no ipads!  Instead they played with toys like a Jack in the Box”

Jayden – “I liked the spinning top, it moves by spinning”

Emily – “Some poor families didn’t have enough chairs for all of them to sit at the table for dinner.  Some people had to sit on the floor”

Liam – “There were no busy roads”

Teigan – “I learned about Victorian toys.  My favourite Victorian toy was the Spinning top”

Leila – “The Victorian teachers were very grumpy.  They used to make children wear a dunce hat and sit in the corner!

Millie – “Not all children went to school.  The rich children went to school and sometimes the poor children had to get a job”

Breaghannon – “They did not have safe pavements, people walked at the side of the road”

Max – “There was no electricity, they played outside instead of playing xbox and used candles instead of lights”

Jonah – “The Victorian clothes for poor people were boring colours.  Bright colours were very expensive”

Here are some of our highlights of this week:

• Learning the French numbers 1-10, the song was great
• Practising our song for celebrating success
• Taking our maths outside to learn about measuring
• Using the ipads to research about Victorian toys, it was good to learn how to search for things safely online
• Completing the fitness circuits (please send in sponsor money asap)
