Primary 6 Poets

P6 have been writing poems in the style of poet Charles Causley’s ‘As I went down Zig Zag’.  Here are some examples of our favourite stanzas:

As I went down Zig Zag

The clock striking two,

I saw a man bouncing

Like a purple kangaroo.

As i went down Zig Zag

The clock striking eight,

I saw a bike which ate 

A sparkly chocolate cake.

By Zoe Evans

As I went down Zig Zag

The clock striking one

I saw a man dancing

When the party was done.

As I went down zig zag

The clock striking three

I saw an old lady drinking

Tea in the sea. 

By Connor Ramsay

As I went down Zig Zag

The clock striking eight,

I saw a boy going

For a long skate.

As I went down Zig Zag

The clock striking nine,

I saw a girl singing

A nursery rhyme.

By Ellie Hamilton

Fire Start visit P6

We had a visit from four firemen yesterday.  They reminded us all about the top fire hazards in the home and what to do in the event of a fire.  They told us mnemonic to help us remember the things we need to say when we call 999.  I wonder if anyone knows what the letters stand for?

The firemen had an emergency call while they were in our class and had to rush away!  We could see from the playground how quickly they needed to get ready and in the engine.

What a Tree-mendous Day

Friday saw the planting of our long awaited orchard, and what a lovely day it was.  The sun was shining and everything went according to plan.  We now have trees for eating apples, cooking apples, pears and plums.  Each class got to visit during the planting and were able to taste some of the types of apples that we will be growing. 
Peeling and slicing apples the old fashioned way
Which ones will we be growing?
This is tree-mendous hard work

 

Standing in the orchard area reminded us of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful school in such a scenic area.  We have so many learning opportunities right on our doorstep and we are planning on making the very best of what we have over the coming months and years.

What’s going on in Primary 6 this week?

Primary 6 have been very busy in our first week back at school.

We have been finishing our newspaper reports about the Titanic.  We realised that we were writing them on the 101st anniversary of the Titanic sinking.  We are going to make them look old by using coffee and tea to stain the paper.

In maths some people were learning about improper and mixed fractions.  We like it because we do lots of different activites to help us learn.

We had an eco challenge to find out which are the tastiest apples and pears and which ones grow in Scotland.  We tasted a range of varieties and collected data about our classes favourites.  We presented our data on a graph using apple and pear designs.

P6 and P7  went down to Uphall Station Park to give it a spring clean from litter.  We think we did a great job!

Have a nice weekend!

Primary 6

This week P6 have been practising a play for our assembly about the Titanic.  We know our parts now!  We also finished our homework task to make our own model of the Titanic.

We had a rehearsal for our Easter assembly for next week. Today we have been designing Easter eggs to decorate the hall.  Miss McLennan thinks they are fantastic!

We have also been playing maths champion to try to beat the p7s in a challenge next week.
