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!

Eco Challenge

Our Eco Challenge in Primary 3 was to design the garden beside the dinner hall door. We measured the area then came back to class to draw our design of what we thought would work well in the area. We have also been trying hard to reduce the amount of paper in our blue bag. We have  even given someone a job in class to check that the paper in the bag has been used on both sides before it goes in!

Today we talked about all of the things we had learned this term and the things that we had enjoyed the most.  This term our favourite things have been:  the P4 Benchball Festival, tasting lots of different types of foods for our Food topic, using Sum Dog and maths games/challenges to help us learn different skills in maths, learning how to write different types of poems and creating art work in the style of different artists.   We also really enjoyed learning all about Easter with Mrs Hull.

We hope everybody has a lovely Easter holiday see you all soon.

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.

P5 Weekly News

P5 have been busy practising for the Easter Service which is on Tuesday 26th March at 10am. This is the first time our brass instrument pupils have performed for the school and for parents. They gave P5 a performance on Tuesday morning with Miss Foster and they were very good. We do hope you can come along to the Easter Service to hear them!
This week it was parents night and the children reported back that their parents were pleased with all their hard work. Well done P5 and keep this up!
