P6 Report from 2nd September

John – I loved the Oliver Twist show. It was funny and I really enjoyed it.

Holly – I liked drawing the Boy at the Back of the Class characters because it would be cool to see what they would look like if they were real.

Nathan – I enjoyed Oliver Twist because there were only 4 people doing it. It was very clever because they had to change costumes very fast. I also enjoyed helping Mrs Findlay with the lunches.

Maizy – I liked PE because I like basketball and sports.

Caleb – I liked the PE because we did some basketball.

Poppy – I really liked how we got to draw Minions for our class charter. I got really frustrated at the start because I couldn’t get it the way I wanted it and I had to start again.

James –  I liked doing the basketball because I like basketball and I like doing the shooting and passing.

Maddie – I liked the maths because there was a limit of time to get it finished and I liked that challenge.

Rayyaan – I liked the story of Little Charlie that we made up in class. It was very funny because he fell into some dog poo!

Safia – I liked being a lunchtime monitor. It was good helping the little ones and serving the milk and water.

Anya – I liked doing the TJ maths books because you get to have a big space in your jotter to write it out. You get to set out your work nicely. I also learned about parallel lines and getting to draw some.

Mathew – I liked the maths because were learning up to millions. When we were adding 1000, 100, 10 and taking away. I liked playing Calum’s Shark game in PELVPS Window into Learning – Term 1

Sophia – I like science because I liked learning more about the planets. I always knew the names but now I know much more. The rings of Saturn are made from rocks and ice. I was happy because I got my maths done quickly and I realised it was easier than I thought it would be.

Welcome to P6!

It has been a great week back after the holidays. Everyone seems to have settled in very quickly to new routines. It sounds like everyone had a fabulous break.

It’s great that so many pupils have volunteered and are already thriving through new responsibilities.

Here are some of the comments and reflections from P6 this week:

Elena – It was so good to be back with all my friends.

Maddie – I liked PE. It was fun to run around during the games.

Sophie – I am happy to see all my friends again. I liked PE and the games we played.

Mathew – My favourite thing was when Calum taught us a new game in PE called Sharks, Starfish and Guppies.

Sophia – I enjoyed Science when we were learning all about the Sun.

Holly – I enjoyed getting back to doing Free Writing. It was really cool listening to other people’s stories.

Cali – I liked maths because I could remember from P5 and I liked Number of the Day. It was good helping with the lunches too.

Arya – I liked the problem solving where we had to use clues to work out a mystery number. You had to just give it a go and try out different numbers. You had to make sure your number fitted all the clues.

Maizy – PE was fun. The games were good.

James – It was nice to be back and see all my friends. I enjoyed Calum’s game he taught us in PE.

Nathan – I enjoyed helping in the lunch hall and giving out the packed lunches.

Rayyaan – It was good getting to be a helper in the lunch hall.

Caleb – I was lucky because my wee cousin in P1 took a long time to eat his lunch so he was still there when I came in to get my lunch and I got to sit beside him.

Primary 6 Weekly Reflection – WB: 21-02-22

This week we have been working very hard on our stories and trying to improve them. In writing we have been also working hard on our book covers and four pictures to put into our published books.

In numeracy we have been working on our decimals and converting fractions into decimals. We started off with recapping on our learning from last year.

P6 have started to learn about natural disasters. Our main focus has been earthquakes and we have had the chance to do a video, sway or PowerPoint in groups to show our research. We will then teach the rest of class about earthquakes that have happened around the world.

We really enjoyed P4’s assembly about Fairtrade. The banana song will be stuck in our head all weekend.

We would also like to say “Happy Birthday!” to Sophie and Freya.

Primary 6 Weekly Reflection – WB 07-02-22

 

This week we have been busy preparing for our assembly on children’s mental health.  We have been learning about our support networks and making connections with others. We also made colourful posters about what compassion meant to us.  The assembly went very well and we did lots of practising throughout the week. We felt very proud of our work and felt better after the stressful part was over.

Luke, Freya, Olly

Senora Gordon and Senorita Martinez have been working with us in class on our Spanish. Finn and Luke made a tortilla at home and shared their learning in class. Luke thought his tasted very nice, he added pork and cheese to his.

In maths we have been focusing on drawing angles, it was a bit tricky. but we will continue to practise. We have also been working on our fractions and we will soon be moving on to decimals.
Lakshya, Leo 

We are in the middle of our authors and illustrators project. Our stories are going well and they are going to be very good.  This week we have finished our build up sections and are now working on our dilemma.  We are starting to think about how we will present our work and are looking forward to this part of the process.

2021 Outdoor timetable Term 4

Outdoor Learning will be running again this term and the days and classes are listed below.  We ask that the children can be as suitably dressed as possible on the days they will be going outdoors.  Please consider that we could be walking through woods, soft muddy ground, or wet grass. It could rain, be windy, cold, snowing, drizzling or hot sunshine.  On very hot sunny days you may want to provide sunscreen for your child to apply.

It is always advisable to wear layers and always have a coat/raincoat.  The school has waterproof trousers and rain jackets for those that need them.

Whatever the weather, sandals are not suitable!  Some trainers may not be waterproof enough – it may not rain today but the ground could be muddy from yesterday’s rain.  Sturdy shoes, sometimes even wellies are a good idea.  Again the school has some pairs of wellies if they are needed.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Smith
