P6/5 – New Year, New Term
Well it was nice to see everyone after the school holidays and get back into a routine again! We have had a nice, slightly shorter week settling back into work. We started the week working on team work in PE and working together in team games.
Read to below to hear more about our week.
- Alfie – In maths, we have started looking at fractions.
- Eve – we had Mrs Loosemore for a lesson on problem solving on Thursday morning.
- Jack – we had PE this week and we were looking at using good teamwork within different games.
- Brogan – we also did some solve and shade puzzles with Mrs Loosemore.
- Charley – we were writing this week about something we did during the holidays.
- Callum – the P6/7 were back practicing with Our Lady’s pupils. We were singing the Proclaimers songs Sunshine on Leith and I’m On My Way.
- Keris – we had music with Mrs Ewing.
- Fraser – we did a lesson on emotions this week and looked at sad emotions and we had to think of sometime we felt sad.
- Brogan – Mrs Rankin moved our seats so we are all at different groups.
- Alfie – we were playing a maths game 11 and Out.
- Jack – we did literacy this week and some of us were given new books.
- Callum – we had another listening session with Ms Gilroy on Tuesday.
Please see the pictures below from PE – we worked together in teams to throw and catch a tennis ball all at the same time with different challenges for each throw – we had to try and do 10. We all had to make sure we caught the ball after each challenge or we had to start again from challenge number 1! Then we worked in teams to play a game with beanbags to try and beat the opposing team by getting as close to the yellow beanbag, a bit like bowls. We had to talk tactics before each player threw the next beanbag.
Have a nice weekend! A full week next week!

P6/5 Last Day of Term
This morning P6/5 have been confused with what happened this week and what happened last week as it has been a busy time these last couple of weeks of term! It has been a very quick term for us all and we have managed to get through a lot of work. A well deserved break is now ahead of us all.
Here is what we did get up to this week:

- Hannah – We had our Christmas party on Thursday which we all really enjoyed, especially the Photo Booth!
- Danielle – We enjoyed our Christmas Lunch on Wednesday. We all sat in the hall together.
- Alfie – We had a Christmas movie in the hall after the Christmas Lunch.
- Hannah – We had the Church Service on Monday morning when each class had to say a verse of the Christmas poem. It was nice to see so many parents join us.
- All – In PE this week we had to do some practicing for our Christmas dances. Some of us enjoyed this, others not so much!
- Charley – We were doing Christmas maths activities where we had to work out the answer to jokes. We did imaginative writing this week relating to a clip called Lily and the Snowman.
- Eve – In French we were doing Christmas colouring in.
- Keris – We are all excited for the holidays and looking forward to spending time with our families and friends.
Here’s a picture of us all ready for our party yesterday.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all and I look forward to seeing you all back in the New Year!
