We have had (yet another!) fantastic book talk in P6/7 this week.  This learner created a great presentation to go along with her chosen book which we are sure you will all enjoy!  Well done Zoe! View the PowerPoint here> Eric talk the worlds worst children

We can’t wait to see what our P6/7 learners have in store for us with this home learning challenge! We  have  some  new  faces  in  our  class now  so  it’s  time  to   make  some new  memories!  If you want to relive the old memories from P2, you can see some here!

Our P6/7 learners have been delivering book talks during the past few weeks.  We have had some excellent presentations so far.  Today, one of our learners went over and above and created a great PowerPoint presentation to go along with her talk.  We’d recommend viewing the slide show fully to experience the animations!  Well done to this enthusiastic learner!

ERIC talk

We hope you enjoy P6/7’s SWAY presentation all about Scotland.  We presented this to our partner school in Nepal.

Hello and welcome to our presentation. It is nice to see you all again and we are really looking forward to sharing more about Scotland. We would like to start by sharing our National Ant…

Writing – Description Assessment – Thursday 21^st October

Last session we learned a lot about the different features of a description text.  We used our 5 senses to explore a variety of things such as Irn Bru and Scottish Macaroons!

You will be completing a writing assessment on Thursday to see how much your writing has improved.  To complete this assessment you should bring in a special item from home to write about.

The item should be something you can see, touch, smell, hear and taste.  It might be that the item reminds you of a taste.  For example, I might bring in my favourite mug.  When I look at my favourite mug my mouth is filled with the taste of delicious tea and tangy ginger biscuits!

Some ideas of items you might want to bring in:

• A favourite toy
• A shoe (your first baby shoe or your favourite pair)
• An ornament
• A piece of jewellery
• Your favourite food

These are just some examples, you may have a much better idea!

Anything valuable can be locked in the cupboard until you need the item and until you are ready to take it home again.

Make sure that whatever you choose is something that inspires you to write a fabulous description! J

School Newsletter Task

Tuesday Simplifying Fractions Sheet 1

Tuesday Simplifying Fractions Sheet 2

This week we tasked pupils with asking 100 people what makes them happy and what makes them sad.  This was not an easy task but we now have LOTS of data to help us with our festival!

It’s now time to organise our data by writing an informative report!

Informative Report – What makes people happy & sad

We realised that it may have been easier to work together to collect the data.  There’s plenty data to be found on Teams if you didn’t manage to get many responses!
