These are some of the things they have enjoyed the most:

Daniel –We have learnt lots of new sounds ‘ff, ss, zz, ll’
Esther – I have learnt to tell the time with o’clock and half past.
Keira – I like learning about what the dinosaurs eat because my granddad told me all about the names and I knew a bit about them.

Pupil of the week – Leon for his excellent work blending and writing words beginning with ‘d’.

Wishing you all a very happy long weekend.

Science – this week we had a shockingly good time learning about circuits and electrical charges.  We  built and learned about parallel and series circuits.

Jamie – Our circuits weren’t up to Formula 1 standard! (bad joke Jamie!)

We are now charged up to share our learning…….

Maths – we used different stations to consolidate our maths learning this week and showed how we do this to Mrs Gray.  She said she was ‘blown away’ with how well we did and how hard we work.

Art – we learned how to use blocks of colour to create pictures/scenes, and showed off our new skills in our wall display.

Music – we had a fabulous time at Rock Voice and learned how to sing different songs at the same time, and what we use to sing.

A busy fun-filled week – now for a wee rest with our couple of days off.

This week we have not had choir as some of primary six pupils were recorded for their show on Tuesday…. and today starts the holiday weekend.
There will be some disruption to choir rehearsals due to the primary six show, so it’s important to check the blog for information. There will be a letter sent out with changes too.

No Junior Choir on Tuesday, due to the holiday. The Senior Choir will be on next Friday, 19th February. We will concentrate on the hymns for the end of term Church Service, and begin to look forward to those choir members who would like to take the opportunity to be part of the choir’s musical theatre sessions.
These will take place on a Friday from 12.15 – 2.45p.m. each week. Children will need a packed lunch for this…. more information to follow.

The Junior Choir will sing in Church at the end of term assembly!

Another busy week for Primary 6A!
In our language and literacy work we have been concentrating on persuasive writing. We were writing to Mr Welsh to either keep or get rid of homework. Scott wanted to get rid of homework because we learn what we are doing for homework all week in class – it’s repeating what I already know!
Ellie – In maths we are continuing to work with angles and using protractors.
In PE we are continuing with learning about basketball – this week we learned how to dodge and how to throw accurately.
In science we were designing games for our primary one buddies. Scott designed a game about measurement and he used a wire and an electrical circuit to highlight the right answer.
Our drama work this week has seen the Tuesday cast perform the whole show…..pretty impressive if we say so ourselves! We need to remember to look over our scripts regularly because it’s easy to forget our dialogue.
Have a fabulous holiday weekend – we know we will!

It has been a very busy week in Class G. Today we had our performance of the Gingerbread Man on the stage. We performed to some teachers, pupils and Mr Welsh. We have been practising very hard and our show went well. We had learnt how to make Gingerbread men and we had these after the show. It was fantastic. Our singing was brilliant. We have also been learning about Shrove Tuesday and we added Pancakes to our recipe books. Miss Garland was rubbish at making pancakes but it was ok because Mrs McNeill came to the rescue. They were delicious.

Jayden – I enjoyed drawing in my snack class. I enjoyed taking part in the Class G show The Gingerbread Man.

Lewis – I enjoyed making gingerbread men and decorating then with the icing. I liked singing on the stage during our show.

Gabriel – I liked being the fox in the Gingerbread Man Show. I liked how we made gingerbread men and I enjoyed eating them.

David – I enjoyed making pancakes. I had syrup on my pancake.

Jake – I liked making pancakes. I liked the gingerbread performance on the DVD.
