Another quick week here in P6/5 has gone by. We have had a nice week with loads of things going on. With the P7s at Whitburn Academy, it has been quiet at our end of the school.

Please read our updates below.

• Alfie – this week as the P7s were away to Whitburn Academy, we got PE with Mrs Howard and Mr Tennant. We all really enjoyed these lessons.
• Fraser – in music we continued with the Carnival of the Animals and were listening to The Avery and drew what came to our minds.
• Leah – Miss Gilroy had her weekly groups on Tuesday. Some of us were at this and we were playing a game where we hid a phone and we had to listen carefully to find it. We enjoyed this.
• Brodie – we had a visitor in the school on Thursday and she popped in to see what we were doing on Thursday morning as we were learning about our strengths and self-help skills we might need for camp.
• Danielle – Mrs Boyd came into class on Monday to learn how play Silent Ball with Mrs Gibson teaching.
• Alfie – on Tuesday afternoon most of P6/5 went to play football against St John’s Primary School and Falla Hill Primary School. We tried our best during the games.
• Hannah – we have been looking at what we will be doing for our class assembly and Brogan, Eve and I have started working on a dance to go with a song we will play.
• Callum – with the P7s away, we were asked to show Mrs Clifford around the school on Thursday when she visited Stoneyburn.

Let’s see if next week is just as quick!

Have a good weekend!

We are all back to school after our extra long weekend. We have had a short but pretty busy week. Please read on to hear what has been going on.

• Callum – P6s had a Health & Wellbeing session with the P7s and Mrs Gibson on Wednesday. We were playing Silent Ball and the P5s joined us for a quick game.
• Jack – Mrs Rankin’s Craft Club started on Thursday for the P4/5/6/7s. We were making origami bookmarks and some of us made these look like the Cookie Monster.
• Brogan – the PTA held the Valentine’s Disco on Wednesday night. It was a really good night!
• Alfie – we finished off our paintings of a volcano on Thursday. We were using hot colours to reflect the volcano exploding.
• Keris – in maths we were working on percentages and relating these to fractions and decimals.
• Charley – we had our ERIC time on Friday this week instead of Thursday. It’s something quite a lot of us enjoy.
• Eve – we were working on a wall display to show how the whole school feel ‘Included’. It’s looking really good with the other classes work.
• Brogan – Mrs Ewing took our class with P4 to do music. We were listening to a track from the Carnival of Animals and we drew pictures of what we imagined as we listened.

We’re all back to normal with a full week next week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Here we are at half term already. The pupils are all excited to have a long weekend and a short week next week.

We have had another busy week of learning in class so please read on to hear what everyone has been up to.

All – we worked on the library and tidied up the non-fiction section and created labels for this. This was a big job but it’s really starting to take shape and look a lot better. We should get our labels put on the shelves next week and finalise our plans for running the library for all classes to be able to start borrowing books.

Alfie – Football match where Stoneyburn played Greenrigg – it was a close match – we lost 5-4.

Charley – we were looking at our imaginative writing and looking at how to improve this.

Hannah – we have started working on creating paintings of volcanoes. We have completed the black painting and will complete these with our hot colours next week.

Katie – we have a long weekend!!

Brogan – we were working with the P4s for Music and we listened to music and drew what we felt from this.

Charley – we did decimals in maths this week and were adding decimal calculations.

Alfie – we did noughts and crosses with Mrs Ewing in French.

We hop everyone has a great long weekend!

Another week has passed by as we move into February. We have been looking at Health & Wellbeing this week and have been continuing on with our topic and our class novel, Wonder.

Read on to hear more.

• Callum – this week we created our Worry Woods corner in the classroom. We can write any worries we have in the box and this is checked by the teacher at the end of the day and we can talk about these if we want to.
• Eve – we continued on with reading Wonder which we are all really enjoying. Everyone has created an Auggie spaceman head and we had to write kind things about our classmates on everyone’s helmets.
• Aflie – we created a bucket filler box which we can add to each day and these will be shared with the class.

• Hannah – Mrs Gibson held an assembly with the whole school looking at friendship and we did some drama relating to these.
• Cory – we started Thursday morning with a feel good factor with the whole school doing the Cha Cha Slide! It woke everyone up and was a happy start to our day.
