Some of our P6/7 pupils worked with children from Connolly School Campus as part of their friendship week. We took part in a Kurling competition and also sent a cheerleading squad! Some of our class won but it was the taking part that counts and we thoroughly enjoyed working with our neighbours. We would like to thank them for the invite and the offer to keep the trophy in our school as a mark of friendship. Stay tuned and we will add some photos of our experience tomorrow.

Mrs McAlpines maths set

This week we had great fun learning how to work out the best buy using division. We particularly enjoyed the challenge of  a ‘budget travel’ board game.

As part of Health and Wellbeing with Mrs McAlpine we learned about International Peace Day and finally finished our banners that we also wanted to share

We have been evaluating our learning this week.

My favourite part this term was when we finally got to the forehand rally with a partner. Cameron and I had fantastic control in this game.

I loved the ‘Keepy up’ competition as well as ‘bounce hit catch’.  I think my co-ordination was really good.

This is the first of our videos. We hope to add the rest over the next few days. Watch this space!!

Money week has arrived in P6/7! Miss Glencorse’s Maths group have been set the challenge of buying in bulk and selling to try and make a profit. Which idea will be the most successful? We will be sure to let you know! We are also using the resources provided by RBS about opening bank accounts and looking after our money. As a whole class, we are making posters to advertise The Credit Union.

In Social Studies, we have created original songs in our bands and used the Video Star app to make real music videos. We are trying to find a way of getting these videos onto the blog to show you how professional we look. We are really looking forward to the input from Rookie Rockstars so we can release our inner Rock Gods!!

As this is October, we are working very hard learning about and praying The Rosary. Futsal starts this week. It is a form of football created in Brazil and will help develop our PE skills and teamwork skills

2 girls in our class will represent us at the P7 Conference on Friday and we look forward to all the information they bring back to us.

P6/7 are delighted to announce that we raised £730 at this morning’s coffee morning for Macmillan. We would like to thank everybody who came along and helped to make a fantastic morning and everyone who made anything for the cake sale. It’s such a fantastic cause and we are proud we managed to raise so much. We feel like responsible citizens today!

If you walk or drive along Bathgate Road you’ll see the garden beginning to take shape. Some children from P6/7 went along with Miss Reilly to do some planting. Looks great! 🙂

P6/7 are hosting a coffee morning in aid of MacMillan Cancer Research on Friday 25th Sept from 10:00am – 11:30am in the school assembly hall. This charity is a huge help to anyone suffering from cancer and we hope that you will join us on the day to support them. Feel free to bake and buy as many cakes as you want!!! Spend! Spend! Spend!
