This week in P6 there has been lots of learning going on. We have been working in our topic groups to make a  model of the Titanic. The parts of it that we’ve been making are:  the funnels, the decking, the hull and the sea.
In writing we have been writing settings for stories and trying to guess other peoples. We really all enjoyed our writing this week because we had to guess each others settings.
We were given our tickets for the Titanic in drama. Some people had first class tickets,others second and third.
In assembly we where thinking about consideration of others and Rights week after the holiday.
Everyone dressed inside out today to raise money for UNICEF! We had to spell our words forwards and backwards for our spelling check-up!
We hope everyone has a good long weekend!

In writing this week we wrote about traditions during Chinese New Year. In maths we are looking at different shapes and the triangles maths group have been introduced to the triangular prism. In topic this week, we found out how jewellery was an important part of Egyptian life even for the poor people. We used a range of materials to make our own Egyptian bracelets and necklaces.
This week we have been learning about the uses of water in Science. We made a diagram to show how we had used water in a day. Next week we will be learning about how important water is to us and how we can prevent water wastage.
We wrote imaginative stories in writing about travelling in a Time Machine. Some people went on an adventure to the past and some people went into the future!
Next week Ewan McVicar will be visiting Primary 4.  He is going to talk to us about food in other countries.  We will also be taking part in a joint bird migration art activity with another school in Africa.
