Literacy in P6-An Explanation

An Explanation

We have been looking at the Explanation Genre. This genre explains how or why something happens. We decided to link our Literacy to our current IDL context of Natural Disasters.

We also used our ICT skills by researching a Natural Disaster of our choice. We created notes in our first draft. We then looked at the features and layout of an Explanation and used this and the genre targets to improve our final draft, ensuring it included all the elements of the genre such as

Lava Lamp Fun in P6 – Science

In Science P6 have been learning about mixtures and chemical reactions. They  made their own lava lamps by mixing oil and coloured water and added an effervescent tablet to the bottle. This created a chemical reaction when the tablet mixed with the water and started to bubble. As you can see from the photos we were quite excited by the reaction!

I have participated in practical activities to separate simple mixtures of substances and can relate my findings to my everyday experience.

Scottish Fire and Rescue P6

P6 welcomed Scottish Fire and Rescue to our school on Monday. With Bonfire Night fast approaching it was great for the class to hear all about not only the Firework code but also how the Fire service responds to incidents at this time of year. We linked the visit to our learning by thinking about the features of the poster genre and what sort of layout and organisation would grab the readers’ attention.We used this information to create a Firewok code poster for a Primary School audience.

 

What an achievement!

On Saturday 26th August you managed to get your first clean sweep,winning all three races at School House MX. You told us you were very happy to achieve your goals as this was your last race on a 65cc. Congratulations,a great achievement.

Mascot for the day!

What a great Saturday this must have been…..except for the score. Mascot for the day at Livingston FC. As the Mascot you got to meet the Livingston players in the home dressing room and have a tour of the stadium. You then had the opportunity of a kick about on the park,with a photo shoot with your favourite player. Finally, you waited in the tunnel for the players and got to run out with the team. What an amazing experience!

Place Value P6

Using a wide range of concrete materials P6 looked at and could discuss the link between a digit,its place and its value. As well as using different materials they also shared their approaches and solutions with other members of the class. Some of the class did this orally whilst others created pictorial and concrete representations which we then displayed on our Maths Wall as a point of reference for the rest of this particular context.

Creating our Class Charter P6

Creating our Class Charter

As we welcomed P6 back after the summer we decided to look again at the Wellbeing Indicators,School Rules and LEARN Values. We looked at how these link to the UNCRC Rights of a Child. We decided which elements we could use effectively when creating our Class Charters. We were surprised to see how many rights were already embedded in both our rules and values. The class created a brilliant display of both their Charters and  Indicators. When looking at our Charters you will notice that each one is different and each one is signed. We decided it was important each charter was personal to each member of the class,this meant we were getting it right for every individual an the class were beginning to understand the idea of Equity,which is one of our LEARN values.
