Yesterday in P5/6 we used chalk pastels to create pictures of the Titanic wreckage. First we discussed pictures of the wreckage thinking about the colours created by the rust and sea. We then practiced blending colours together in our sketch books before starting our pictures.

I loved blending the colours – Amy-Louise

I learned that you can blend pastels and that the Titanic is rusty – Charlie Priestley

I learned that some colours you wouldn’t usually put together can be blended and look nice- Alicia

 

We have been making stress-balls, Christmas Crackers and loop games for the Christmas Fayre. We had fun making all these things. We also made a game called pin the nose on Rudolph.

Primary 6/7 have been doing Judo. Boys doing together and then the girls. This picture shows an example of what we did. We had a great time at Judo. We had a great time as a class.

On Friday morning P4 – 7 children enjoyed a visit from author, Lindsay Littleson. It was a very inspiring session and her positive words left us all wanting to become authors!!!

What a busy week in P5/6!

We have been very busy preparing for the Christmas fayre this week! Come and see our crafts for sale this afternoon between 1pm and 3pm.

In maths we have been learning about angles, their different names and estimating their size.

In literacy we have been discovering the features of newspaper articles in preparation for creating  our own news paper article about The Titanic disaster next week.

 

Today Primary 6/7 tried out some mindfulness with Mrs Moyes. Teegan enjoyed it so much that it inspired her to write her own mindfulness story. This is it:

Water Fall

Close your eyes, be very still and imagine that you are standing in crystal clear water at the top of a waterfall and you are leaning over the cliff that the water fall is on and the wind is holding your body up.

Imagine the wind blowing through your hair, breathe in the mountains fresh air; in through your nose and back out of your mouth (X3) repeat in your head.

“I am calm and gentle” now open your eyes and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth (X3)

Teegan is going to visit The Den tomorrow to read this to the children at mindfulness time, we know they will really enjoy it!

Today in maths we were learning about angles. We learned what a right angle is. We also learned that an obtuse angle is bigger than a right angle and an acute angle is smaller by Paige

 

In our Titanic topic we have been learning to place the order of events on a timeline. We did this by watching a video about the events and then sorting  cards with the events into the correct order. Each group then made a poster showing the events from when it set sail to when it sank.

In PE this week we have been doing different ways of travelling. Also in PE we have been learning how to dribble and shoot.

This week we have been busy preparing for our Sharing the Learning event which takes place on Wednesday (7th November)  this week at 2.15.

Pupils worked in groups to prepare for this. The team leaders made sure everyone in their group was on task, some pupils prepared resources and others carried out extra research to double check their facts were correct.

We really hope you can make it!
