The pupils of Primary 6/5 have had a great first week back to school.

This week’s learning focused on getting to know one another, classroom organisation and expectations for the year. We have enjoyed playing a variety of games and participating in group challenges.  The favourite challenge of the week seemed to be working in pairs or trios to create the longest paper chain they could from one A3 piece of paper. I’m sure you’ll agree from the pictures, the children excelled in the challenge! Well done P6/5!

In Art, the children were inspired by Paul Klee’s ‘The Blue Night Sky’ to create their own fantastic pictures using their own names. I’m looking forward to displaying them in the classroom. I hope you can manage to meet on the teacher on Wednesday 31st August, where you will have an opportunity to view their work.

We also had an interesting discussion on the Perfect Pupil and Terrific Teacher – with all the groups expecting every individual in the class to be respectful, kind, hard working and encouraging towards each other.  Hopefully all parents and carers can help their child to strive towards these values throughout the year!

The class charter is yet to be created, but we’re well on our way with developing ideas on the best way to display the rights and rules of the classroom. Watch this space for a photo of either an Olympic or Pokemon themed charter.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
