P6 weekly blog

We are helping Mrs Hull to organise the school ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ event – a sponsored skipping event on Friday 9th May.  We have sorted out a timetable for classes, drafted the letter for parents and counted out the sponsor forms.  We checked how many skipping ropes we have and will be practising our skipping skills.

Tomorrow we are going to Pumpherston Bowling Club. We will need to wear flat plimsolls or gym rubbers.

Our topic for this term is The Local Community and we are currently practising our class talks about clubs and activities that take place in our community.

Primary 4

This week we started to learn about our new topic Australia.  We found Australia on the world map and looked at where it was in distance from Scotland.   We then used an Atlas to help us complete a map of Australia.  We searched the internet to find out some facts about both Australia and Scotland.  We discovered that Australia had a much higher population than Scotland.  We then used our maths skills to find the difference between the population of Australia and Scotland.  There are around 18 million more people in Australia than in Scotland!

Primary 4 – 1960’s Toys

Primary 4  have been researching some of the popular toys from the 1960’s.  We found information, pictures and even old TV adverts on the internet to help us learn about the different toys.   We are going to organise all of the information we have found into a Powerpoint and present it to the Primary 3 children who are currently learning about toys.
