Primary 7/6 Big Talk Task

Leave a comment

Good morning. Please find the details below for our next “Big Talk” task in preparation for our “Big Writing” next week.

In a few weeks it will be Christmas and our TV’s are already full of adverts selling us all sorts of wonderful and amazing things!  I want you to talk about Christmas Adverts on TV with an adult at home and discuss what the advert contains, what sort of language and/or music they use, do they tell you how much the product is? I also want you to discuss what it is you are being asked to buy – is it one thing or lots of things and would you buy it/them? How do these adverts make you feel?

This will prepare you for your Big Writing task where you will create your very own poster advert for a product of your choice.

Thanks. Mr Richards, Thursday 17th November 2016.

Hi. Please find below information about Primary 7/6’s “Big Talk” challenge which should be completed in time for our “Big Write” challenge next Thursday (17th November 2016).

 

“In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” – Andy Warhol

I would like you to discuss the above quote with an adult at home, and talk about what it means to be famous. Would you like to be famous? What would you like to be famous for?

Be ready to talk about this next week in preparation for your big write task.

Thanks. Mr Richards, Thursday 10th November 2016.

Some of our class have been away at school camp this week but we have been incredibly busy this week! This week we have:

  • Community Action Blackburn posters based on the theme of improvements & changes in Blackburn.
  • We created a display for the whole school based around the theme of RESPECT.
  • We carried out research from a selection of library books on endangered animals to help us carry out our BIG WRITE task.
  • We created some Neon Disco posters for display around the school. This was to help advertise our enterprise initiative and details have also been posted to the blog.
  • We received a visit from Bathgate Fire Service to talk to us about the dangers of bonfires & fireworks. PLEASE KEEP SAFE THIS BONFIRE NIGHT.
  • We have also had an opportunity to try indoor curling with Graeme Young in the gym hall.
  • Finally Mr Richards has set us a “Big Talk” task for Thursday 10th November and here are the details:

Primary 7/6 Big Talk Task for Thursday 10th November 2016:

I would like you to talk about why it is important to be honest and tell the truth and not lie. Why do you think that?

Ask an adult at home what they think.

Be ready to talk about this next week.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you all again soon!

Dalguise – A Variety of Photographs from Day 2 and 3

2 Comments

Sorry for the delay, I’ve had trouble with the internet on and off in school and at home and have been unable to access the blog all day.  However, I have finally managed to post some more photographs for you to enjoy having a look at (the only problem is I can’t get the images to rotate so some are on their side, sorry!!)  The teachers report that all is going well and that the children have been taking part in activities such as problem solving, fencing, riding quad bikes and the zip wire!

Looks like the staff are having fun too

Dalguise Update

Yesterday the children took part in two activities during the day, the tree climb and the trapeze.  Mrs Millar sent me a message to say how happy all the children were and that the staff are extremely proud of how well they challenged themselves during the activities.  (photographs attached)

Mrs Millar reports that the only person to slip and slide was herself … apparently there is a lovely peachy bruise! (no photograph attached!)

Dalguise Update – Day One

2 Comments

Hi All,

Mrs Millar, Mrs Vince and Mrs Johnston report that the children are having a great time and that they have been kept busy since the moment they arrived.  A couple of photographs have been sent to my phone, which I will attach to this post.  Sometimes the mobile reception is poor and there can be a delay in these being sent or received successfully.  I will continue to update and post photographs as they arrive.

Hope you all enjoy a peaceful evening without your little gems and I’ll keep you posted on how their first evening/ overnight went.

Hello and welcome to our latest blog entry. This week we have:

  • We started to look at and discuss the meaning of the word RESPECT!
  • In maths we looked at numbers in 100,000’s and rounding 4 digit numbers.
  • We started our Make It Grow fund raising effort. We will be doing a neon themed disco and we will be looking for everyone to wear bright clothes & buy glow bands to help raise money.
  • We looked at things which concern us in our community and rated these from 1-10 (with 1 being the most serious and 10 being the least serious).
  • We started on making posters of the things which concern us in our community as part of our Big Write.
  • We all had an amazing time at the Halloween Party held at the school last night – please check the blog soon for photos!

A big thank you to Amie Lee and Neve for helping with this week’s blog.

See you all next week!!
