Our Primary 6 and 7 school footballers are continuing to train hard ahead of their upcoming league meetings and cluster tournaments. We are currently still training indoors on Mondays from 3.15-4.15pm but will be returning outside on Monday 5th March, at which point both P6 and P7 will train together again. Any P6 and P7 boys and girls are more than welcome to attend, just let Mr. Logan know if you would like to join.
Here are some important dates for the footballing family calendars:
Mr. Logan
Quick reminder that tomorrow’s football training session will be for P7 only with next week’s session for P6. See below for upcoming sessions and league meeting dates:
Kind regards
Mr. Logan
A busy week in Primary 6B.
We have continued to explore shape, looking this week at 3D shapes and their properties. We have discussed the language used by mathematicians and found the names for some unusual 3D shapes.
In literacy, we have looked at Diary writing, using one of the characters from our class novel ‘Wonder’, as the author of the diary.
Primary 6 had a ‘monstrous’ visit to Edinburgh Book Festival on Thursday.
They met with Dave Rudden (author of Knights of the Borrowed Dark) and Rupert Wallis (author of The Boy with One Name).
Dave and Rupert shared their books with us and then discussed how they created monsters for their stories.
As an audience, we helped to create monsters, which Dave sketched for us.
They also answered questions about their jobs and books.
We will use this as a stimulus for our storywriting next week
.
This morning’s assembly for Primary 4,5 & 6 was a visit from Mac A Story, who shared stories from around the world with the children, encouraging participation throughout. The pupils had a great time, joining in with singing, dancing, acting and contributions towards the stories and songs.
This afternoon, Mrs Kerr’s daughter and her friend came into school and told us all about their upcoming trip to Cambodia, where they are going to teach children English. They told us why they’ve volunteered to go and a bit about the school and children they will be working with. We are hoping to connect with them while they are there.
Great fun this afternoon, constructing a map of Scotland and identifying key locations within it as part of our topic work this term.
Primary 6 have been looking at electricity and circuits.
They have created their own games and then they shared them with Primary 2
We had a fantastic time at St Michael’s Church yesterday, where Russell and lots of lovely volunteers helped us to learn about Easter and the reasons behind some of the traditions and celebrations that Christians have.
