Primary 6

P6 learning week beginning 17.8.20

In maths we have been revising and learning about place value to hundreds of thousands. We have explored and audio story and listened for clues to find the murderer in the the mystery/ thriller tale.

We have been thinking about about how small things make a big difference through the book The Boy, The Mole, The fox and The Horse.

we have completely finished our maths and spelling check ups and we are looking forward to learning from our efforts.

Our comprehension work was challenging but fun. Some of us have really enjoyed our PE outside, and others enjoyed the free playground time too.

26.6.20 P1 Sharing Our Learning and Au Revoir.

Mixed feelings this week.

Joy because it has been week of fun and easy going activities and the ‘pressure’ of home school is coming to an end.  There are increasing freedoms in the lockdown  and there is light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

Sadness because we are not only at the end of the term but also at the end of the year and we are saying au revoir, we are ready for the holidays and ready to move on to our next year of school.

Some of you have been keeping busy and have shared your learning and activities from the week:

 

We are proud of all our children, you have achieved great things this year.

19.6.20 P1 Sharing their Learning

With two weeks to go in the term, fitness fortnight starting and a little more freedom to meet others, it has been a new beginning and yet more of the same.  As usual you have done us proud, whether you are doing planned school work or making your own learning activities, or even just keeping going.  Resilience has many facets and we don’t always recognise we have it until we look back.  Remember you are doing ok and we have loved being on the journey with you.

Many of you have once again shared some of the highlights of your week and it has been great to see the varied activities that are going on. We have also valued seeing you doing other things too, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest.

As it is fitness fortnight, lets start with some photos of your sports day events, with a special well done to the virtual sports day winners Calderwood House.

    

You have been doing great learning this week:

Spelling and writing

 

Maths:

Life cycles:

There is so much fantastic reading going on:

And you are going out and about getting the chance to meet others or sometimes its just about having fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more week of virtual school, lots of fun activities coming your way for our final Hurrah!

Remember if you have any further questions about anything just ask.

Hi, mixed weather, mixed motivation and mixed activities going on this week, and we think you have been showing amazing resilience,  imagination and ideas in what you are doing at home.

Best of all, has been to see our families taking time to enjoy the sun when it is shining, making time to just enjoy life and do fun things.

This week, some of you have shared your learning:

What made you proud this week?

 

 

 

 

 

What was a challenge? Our Marine biologists have worked hard this week making others aware of the dangers of plastic and pollution in our oceans.

It has been a glorious week for weather and the P1s seem to have been making the most of it.  Having been out and about ourselves this week in the sun, we have also valued the time inside in the shade!

It has been great to see everybody and to catch up at a suitable social distance. We think you are doing an amazing job and are so impressed by the resilient attitude and the way we all find times of joy in this time of uncertainty.

Some of you have been happy to share your learning, whether it be through sit down learning or play learning:

It has been a See-Saw week this week with lots of ups and down, weather wise, emotions wise and news wise.  However, our families are continuing to be Home Heroes  keeping busy and keeping learning.

Some of our families have shared their learning and some photos they want to show their friends.  They have done some creative work this week. Even the ordinary things like reading can be fun when done somewhere different, or measuring exciting when you are baking.

What are you proud of?  What was the highlight of your week?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was the funniest or best thing that you did?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was challenging and made you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What and where have you been reading this week?

Wow, well done. Another 25 book read this week, Epic!

What a great week, the sun has shone and we have had just enough rain to keep the plants growing. However, it has also been a tough week for adults as we face more time in lockdown, and the children are maybe feeling out of sorts but don’t really know why. We as teachers and as parents, recognise what a fantastic job you are doing keeping busy, staying at home and keeping safe. Thank you.

Well done class we have got our first reading award from epic!

As we go forward with our sharing of learning we would like to ask if you would think about what you would like to see on the blog.

Think about what you would like to share with your classmates.

What are you proud of? What was the highlight of your week?

What was the funniest or best thing that happened?

What was difficult or challenging that made you think?

We are looking forward to seeing what some of you might send in to share and why?

This week some of the class have shared a variety work and it has been a privilege to see all the things you do to keep active, healthy and learning.

Some of you have been out and about keeping active and busy, even leaving messages for your teachers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of you have been doing maths and writing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And – some of the marine biologists have had fun:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some have explored under rocks and logs collecting more than information perhaps?:

Thank you for sharing your learning with your friends.
