We have had a super week in Primary 6\u00a0with lots of maths activities to celebrate Maths Week Scotland 2018!<\/p>\n

On Monday, we had a fantastic science lesson with\u00a0Mrs Fraser. We\u00a0put bread in a bag with water and then put it in different places to investigate which environment mould would grow best.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience is\u00a0realistic and fun.\u201d \u2013 Ainslie<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked looking at the mould under the microscopes.\u201d \u2013 Logan F<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fun to see where different mould grows, it can be lots of different colours.\u201d – Zoe<\/p>\n

“Some of us actually grew Penicillin!”\u00a0 It had a greeny\/blue bit in the middle and a white ring around it.” – Leon & Rowan<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of our Maths Week Scotland activities, we have been investigating a\u00a0Murder\u00a0Mystery. We have been\u00a0multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100 and 1000 and\u00a0plotting coordinates\u00a0on 4 quadrants.\u00a0This has given us a preview into what we will be doing\u00a0in maths\u00a0this year!<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed doing the murder mystery. \u00a0I can\u2019t wait to find out who it is!\u201d \u2013 Logan F<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed it because I thought the maths was challenging!\u201d \u2013 Calum<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to find out who the murderer is!\u201d \u2013 Ainslie & Lewis<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found the clues outside, which made it really exciting!\u201d – Ainslie<\/p>\n

“I agree with Ainslie!” – Callan<\/p>\n

“My favourite part was plotting the co-ordinates because it wasn’t too hard but it wasn’t too easy either.” – Leon<\/p>\n

On Thursday, we did some baking to celebrate Maths Week. We used real life maths skills such as estimation, measure, time and sequencing. We then worked out some abstract calculations over a slice of banana bread! How much flour would we need to make 8 loaves? How many 500g tubs of butter would we need to buy? How much would be left over?<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved squishing the bananas. I can\u2019t wait to bake again!\u201d \u2013\u00a0Eesa\u00a0and Logan Y<\/p>\n

\u201cThe banana bread was delicious!\u201d \u2013 Luke<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really\u00a0fun\u00a0and it tasted so good!\u201d \u2013 Katy & Logan F<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best maths lesson I\u2019ve ever had!\u201d \u2013 Aiden<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed beating the eggs!\u201d \u2013 Matthew, Hayley D & Kyle<\/p>\n

\u201cSquishing the bananas was disgusting!\u201d \u2013 Zoe<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked eating the banana loaf.\u201d \u2013 Logan Y<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in charge of spreading the butter over the baking tin!\u201d – Natalie<\/p>\n

“I loved eating the banana bread.\u00a0 It was SO delicious!” – Rowan<\/p>\n

“I WANT MORE BANANA LOAF!” – Finlay<\/p>\n

“I quite liked how we got to estimate the amounts first because we got to test out our skills.” – Hayley B<\/p>\n

“I really hope we can do it again soon.\u00a0 It was really fun and delicious!” – Leon<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019ve been practicing our handball skills in preparation for our handball festival and afterschool club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed playing handball. I\u2019m hoping to go to the festival!\u201d \u2013 Katy<\/p>\n

\u201cHandball has been great fun. \u00a0I\u2019m glad we\u2019re getting to play it again!\u201d \u2013 Zoe<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed dribbling in handball because it made the games more challenging!\u201d \u2013 Calum<\/p>\n

“I’m excited about the handball afterschool club starting!” – Callan<\/p>\n

We are still enjoying reading the novel Holes by Louis Sachar. \u00a0This week we have been using visualisation to help us to make sense of the story so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed visualising the storyline. It\u2019s really helped me.\u201d \u2013 Hayley B<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Marnie read us the book whilst we visualised the story. I found that easier.\u201d \u2013 Logan F<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helped me to understand the story better.\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Eesa<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed drawing the Lizard!\u201d – Zoe<\/p>\n

Today we started Bikeability.\u00a0 The first thing we had to do was the M-check where you check all the parts of the bike are safe.\u00a0 Then we practised “Starting Off” by getting into a safe place where we could see and be seen by others.<\/p>\n

“It was really fun and I enjoyed it!” – Sri<\/p>\n

“It was amazing!” – Ellie<\/p>\n

“My favourite part was the lifesaver signals.” – Silvester<\/p>\n

“I learned a lot about how to check your bike and how to act on the roads.” – Rowan<\/p>\n

“We also did a helmet check to make sure it fits properly.” – Jamie & Cade<\/p>\n
