P5/6 Growth Mindset

We have been talking about how important it is to be positive and work out our brains.

We watched 2 videos about Mojo who wanted to give up when he found something too hard and when he made mistakes. We found that our brain is a muscle and we need to exercise it and learn from our mistakes.

We’re starting to use phrases to help our minds and brains grow.  We are using “I can’t do it yet” rather than “I can’t do it”.

We’ve created a display with what we can do and what we can’t do yet.image

 

 

P5/6 information

A few notes for parents/carers:

Please ensure your child’s name is on all items of clothing – indoor, outdoor, PE kit, bags and shoes.

PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays starting next week. On a Wednesday it would be helpful if your child came to school dressed ready for P.E as it is first thing. Also if your child could wear a polo shirt on these days rather than a shirt and tie. Please provide a PE kit suitable for indoors and outdoors, i.e. shorts, jogging bottoms (or similar) and a t-shirt. (You can also provide a zip up top and outdoor trainers if you feel necessary for outdoor PE lessons).

Please ensure your child wears a jacket (preferably with a hood) every day, regardless of the weather.

Water bottles should be provided with plain water for in class and after PE lessons – juice or flavoured water is only permitted for lunch and should be kept in your child’s bag or lunch box until lunchtime. Please ensure your child’s name is also on lunch boxes and water bottles.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Cooke, Mrs Millar (at the office) or a member of management (Mrs Gibson/Miss Tuke)

Street dance champion in P5/6

Last weekend, I went to the Street Dance world championships in Glasgow. I went with my team called Pressure and my Mum.

I had to perform a dance in front of all the other teams and some judges. I used hip hop and wacky dance moves. From our performance on Friday my team and I went straight through to the final on Sunday.

We performed the dance again and came 5th in the world.

Here I am with my medal.

Sports Day 2016

Thank you to everyone who helped to organise, participated in and supported our Sports Day on Friday. Unfortunately our races had to be cancelled due to the field still being wet and then it rained too! We were able to have our Potted Sports in the playground. There were 9 stations that teams went around. It was great to see the teams of pupils from P1-7 help each other and cheer each other on. Unfortunately the midges also decided to visit us which was inconvenient but it didn’t dampen the kids spirits! Teams were all working together to get as many House Points for their Houses. The winners will be announced at our Celebration Assembly on Monday.

Healthy wraps

Today we made healthy wraps as part of Health week.

We discussed why it was important to try and eat healthy foods.

We had different things we could put in it:

  • tomatoes
  • cucumber
  • ham
  • chicken or turkey
  • cheese
  • mayonnaise

We really liked making and eating our wraps.

” I liked eating it” – Elise.

” My wrap had lots of tomatoes and cucumber in it. ” – Eeman.

” My wrap had mayonnaise in it which made the cheese soggy” – Morgan.

Some of us tried new things in our wraps too.

” I tried lettuce. I really liked it” – Rafael

We are hoping we can make them again and try and make them at home too.
