P6 Sharing the Learning wk.beg.30.11.20

This week in p6 we have been learning multiples and factors in maths. We also did artwork to depict the Blitz or propaganda posters, it was really FUN!!!

We also did outdoor learning where  we toasted marshmallows which were really good. We had so much fun, we got sticks and sharpened them and put the marshmallows on them, we then knelt  and toasted them it was an amazing.                 ‘

Later we watched an online assembly about gender awareness and bullying with the NSPCC and  childline, it was very interesting.  We learned a lot about childline and we learnt the different problems you could get stuck in,  Ant and Deck introduced the assembly at the start which was amazing.   Mrs Clyne also discussed with us  LGBT+, everyone learnt a lot!

We tried the twelve days of Christmas song, but we did it in sign language.

That was our week!!!!!!!

Chocolate Friday – November 27th

Friday 27th November will be ‘Chocolate Friday’.  Children can come dressed down but instead of £1, it would be much appreciated if they could bring a chocolate donation for the Tombola stall which we will hold in school on Friday 4th December.

If your child wishes to participate in the Chocolate Tombola on Friday 4th December, they should bring their money in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with their name and how many tickets they wish to purchase.

Further news of our Christmas class enterprise items will follow in the near future.

Thanks for your support with our Christmas fundraising.

P6 Sharing our Learning wk.beg. 14th November 2020

This week we have been working on are second draft of writing on if we have been trying to persuade Miss Hamilton and our teachers to let us bring our mobile phones into school for learning and getting information.

We have also been learning  about calculating  area of a right angle triangle.

On Tuesday we watched authors live with Ross MacKenzie and on Wednesday we had a online meet with Robin Stephens and other schools.

We made identity cards as part of our WWII topic.  We have been warned that we need to carry them all of the time!  Mrs Smith in outdoor learning helped us think about what was and was not here in Livingston at the time of the war as we began to develop our map reading skills.

Madam Moore revised colours with us in French and we had to describe an object by its colour.

In number talks we have been learning about coin multiplication which is a lot of fun and does make some multiplication sums easier.

We have started to explore Christmas in RME and this week focused on Christmas traditions and where they came from.

Authors today were Rocco and Oliver.

P6 Sharing the Learning wk.beg. 7th November 2020

Today was our last day of bike-ability and we rode our bikes around a roundabout and did all the indicators with our hands.  The best part is that the instructors told us we had done well and listened, and gave us lollies and sweets.

We have also been doing line graphs in maths, plus we have been asked to do a research project about a WWII topic of our choice.  We have till 2 of December to complete it, it has to be between 500 to 700 words or it’s not complete!

In literacy we are writing a persuasive essay about having phones in the upper school, if they should or shouldn’t be allowed in school. We said they should be allowed because  it would be fun but we will come up with more reasons about why we should or shouldn’t be allowed.
