This week in P6  we have been learning about angles, triangles and circles. On Wednesday we did power points in science about renewable and non-renewable energy. In P.E., we done Strip The Willow in Social Dance with Mrs Smith. On Thursday Mrs Fraser’s friend, Michael Kear, came to visit the classes around the school to tell us about skiing with disability snowsport. He let us wear glasses that would make our eyesight small like his. Two lucky people in our class got to where a skiing helmet that had Bluetooth connected to it so the two people that were wearing the helmets could communicate to each other from a distance. The two people that got to wear the helmet was Amaya and Georgie.

This week Primary 6 have been learning about World War 2. We have been writing a piece of work about the Impact World War 2 had on Scotland. We used a website called Sath.org.uk for our research. We wrote our research on a plan sheet before we wrote it in our jotters. Some people have started to type their piece of work on a laptop. In Maths we have been learning about perimeter. Most of us have been doing common shapes like squares and rectangles but for a challenge some people have been doing irregular shapes like shapes that look like stairs. For science we have been learning about Micro-organisms. For some fun, we made bread with Mr Keast and got to eat it later. Most people liked it but others didn’t. At assembly we celebrated because Miss Marnie is getting married during the October holidays. When she comes back she’ll be known as Mrs Brodie. We have also been learning about the new school rules. They are Ready, Respectful and Safe. In PE we have been playing handball. We did a few drills before moving into matches. We played 2 minute games. We continued our blitz art and most of us are finished now. Mrs Fraser has been reading a book called Welcome to Nowhere.
