This week in P6…

It’s been a short but busy week in P6.

In literacy we discussed the school vision, values and aims.

“We wrote about our aspirations and mine was about wanting to be an artist” – Ellie

“I want to work in the gaming industry.” – Silvester

“I liked writing about my aspirations.  I’d like to be an actress.” – Sri

“I also liked writing about my aspirations.  I’d like to play football and go travelling around the world.” – Rowan

“I’d like to be a vet when I’m older because I like caring and looking after animals.” – Natalie

“I really liked writing about my aspirations.  I’d like to play rugby and maybe play for Scotland.” – Logan F

“It was really fun.  I’ve always wanted to become an artist but if I can’t do that then I’d like to explore the world.” – Katy

“You could do that while being an artist!” – Logan F

“I liked the aspirations writing because it was fun writing about what you want to be.  I would like to be a marine biologist!” – Charlie

 

In maths we consolidated our learning of place value and rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100.

“We also learned how to divide by 1000. The decimal point never moved by the digits move places.” – Cade & Cameron

“You don’t remove the zeros!  The digits are moving places!” – Rowan

“We also multiplied by 100 and 1000.” – Callan

“I enjoyed rounding numbers.” – Eesa & Logan Y

 

In PE we are still practising handball in preparation for our first festival of P6.

“I like that we got to play games in our teams.” – Murray

 

On Wednesday we did some research about Raleigh in North Carolina.  That is where our penpals live and they have recently experienced Hurricane Florence.

“I really enjoyed learning facts about the hurricane.” – Calum

“I thought it was amazing that there are 10 million people living in North Carolina and only just over 5 million live in Scotland!” – Charlie

“We compared the population of Raleigh to Livingston.” – Aiden

“I can’t wait until we receive our letters from our penpals!” – Luke

 

On Thursday we had a good start to the day by taking part in the Fun Fitness session for Lepra.

“It was really tough!” – Logan F

“It was a good way to get your heart going in the morning!” – Hayley B
