Primary 6 Weekly Update
There is now a home learning grid based upon on our class novel ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio on our Primary 6 Microsoft Teams page. The children have been shown the grid and we discussed the activities.
This week we continued learning about significant individuals through Black History month. We explored the impact that Martin Luther King Jr had on the past and present day. We created our own dreams like he did which led into a piece of artwork from one of his iconic speeches.
Primary 6 Weekly Update
Maths Week Scotland
This week in Primary 6 we have been using digital technology to further enhance our learning of Information Handling. We created different types of graphs and simple pie charts to show our knowledge gained this term. We collected our own data based upon our own interests, collated our findings in a table which was then displayed in a way of our choosing.

Primary 6 Updates
Next week we are having to move our Friday PE lesson to Tuesday 12th September due to the holiday weekend on Friday 15th September 2023.
Primary 6 Update
Literacy (Class Novel)
This week in Primary 6 we have been getting used to our weekly routines. We have been introduced to our new class novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio where we were asked to predict what might happen. This term we will be focusing on prediction where we will develop our skills in this area.
Topic – The Jacobites
We were introduced to our new topic for this term: The Jacobites. We shared what we knew already and what we want to learn so the topic can be shaped around our questions.
Primary 6 Class Charter
During our first week in Primary 6 we worked on ‘Building Our Community’. This is where we were reminded of school routines, expectations and standards, alongside getting to know our new teacher.
As part of this we created our Class Charter which displays our understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which applies to all children. We recapped about ‘Rights Holders’ and ‘Duty Bearers’ which we then added to our charter.
We worked as a class to pick UNCRC rights that we felt were most important to us and matched our shared vision for this year.
Our shared vision for this year is displayed in our classroom.
Primary 6 Update
I have attached an update with our PE days and times for this term alongside some additional information to keep you updated on our focus for the first 2 weeks of term 1.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

P3 Weekly Update
This week we focused on learning our common words through active learning. We were able to do these stations independently following the instructions at the beginning of the lesson. We enjoyed being able to explore Literacy through lots of different activities and alongside our learning buddies.
In Maths this week, we have continued learning about collecting and collating data using tally marks and bar graphs. We had fun in our ‘pancake flipping’ competition where we tally marked how many times each person could flip their pancake. This was then used to create a bar/block graph.
Your child has brought home their Wonderful Week of Work jotter for you to see from this week. There is a sheet stuck in where you can leave feedback on what you have read and your child also.
P3 Weekly Update
This week we have been focusing on our knowledge of how to write a procedure.
Today we were asked to reflect on our prior learning and use it to complete a group task. Miss Walkingshaw provided us with an example of a procedure – ‘How to safely exit the building in a fire’ which builds further onto their learning with Mrs Mooney.
We were asked to find the structure of the procedure first, identify title, goal and materials used before ordering the steps in the correct order. We showed fantastic knowledge of how this genre should be written.
