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!

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

Also this week we have been learning about apostrophes.

Today we had our photos taken.

Primary 6/7 have been enjoying maths because they have been subtracting decimals. A small group taught others how to multiply decimals. We have been moving the decimal point to help us and using rulers as a number line.

P6/7 had fun at the Halloween disco. The teachers beat the children at the boat dance challenge.We have also had fun decorating the room for Halloween. We also had so much fun learning decimals in maths.

We have been enjoying our topic on World War 2. We were making a story on evacuation in World War 2 about a boy and a girl. P6/7s have also been “Toasting not Roasting”!

We have been learning to join up their letters. Some of us have been putting joined up writing into our story writing.

We have been doing PowerPoints about World War 2.

We have been using Hitler’s age for maths:

1945 – 1889 = 56

1945 – 56 = 1889

1889 + 56 = 1945

56 + 1889 = 1945

This is the book P6/7 have been reading recently. Do you know it?

The P7s from P6/7 loved preparing for their Buddy Assembly and performed extremely well on the day. The P6s were extremely impressed!

Primary 7 were pleased to meet with their buddies to help make posters of what the P1 pupils enjoyed doing. A pupil said “It’s fun helping them to learn.” Another pupil said “Buddy lunch helped us to get to know our buddies better.”

P7 enjoyed listening to a talking tree! The tree told them facts about an oak tree. They then learned how to draw a tree.

For RME they watched a short movie about the prophet Mohammad as part of learning about Islam.

Drawing portraits of partners in step by step process was challenging and amusing!

As part of our novel study we worked together to design voting posters and leaflets. Some of “our policies” were to ban computer games, ban swearing, free lip kits to voters, free vouchers to voters and even nap time for staff and pupils!!!

A final wee reminder –
