Happy Halloween from Primary 6.
We have had another busy week in Primary 6, getting back to work quickly after the holiday.
We celebrated birthdays as well as getting right back to our learning.
We have had a very quick, short week which ended with our Halloween party in which primary 6 were on form, winning games and making the decision of best costume extremely difficult for the judges.
Nurture have had a spook-tacular week as we’ve been getting into the Halloween spirit! 🧡
We’ve been busy making our very own magical chocolate wands 🪄🍫 and creating beautiful pumpkin artwork using autumn leaves. 🍂🎃 We loved getting creative and seeing everyone’s unique designs!
We also enjoyed spending time with our mainstream classes at their Halloween parties, joining in the fun and making some lovely memories together. 👻🕷️
What a fang-tastic week full of creativity, fun and Halloween magic! We hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween! 🧡🖤
What a spooky week in Ness. Our class indicated they wanted to learn about Pumpkins this week and made this a big part of our learning.
Did you know that pumpkin flesh is used to make a delicious pie? It is a very common treat in America!
Also, did you know the old Celtic practice of carving faces into vegetables to ward off evil spirits spread to the United States with Irish immigrants in the 19th century — and soon jack-o’-lanterns were an iconic part of Halloween celebrations.
We found out, carving pumpkins is very hard work.
But we got there in the end.
By Friday, we were all dressed up and ready for the Halloween Party.
And at the party, we had great fun with our Mainstream friends. A big congratulations to Alex, who won the ‘Best Costume’ for the P5s.
This week, we began learning about our new writing genre: Information Reports. We discussed what information reports are, explored examples and talked about how they help us learn facts about different topics. We also completed a cold piece of writing on penguins to show what we already know about information reports before we begin developing our new skills.
We were also lucky enough to enjoy a fantastic visit from the pantomime. This year’s show was Robin Hood, and we loved joining in with the songs, cheering for the heroes and booing the villains! Everyone had a wonderful time and there were lots of smiles and laughter throughout the performance.
To celebrate Halloween, we got busy in the classroom making chocolate apples. We carefully dipped apple slices into melted chocolate and added tasty toppings.
They looked amazing and were delicious to eat!
To finish the week we had our Halloween Party. Everyone came dressed in fantastic costumes and there were witches, superheroes, frankensteins, dinosaurs and many more creative outfits. We played games, danced with our friends and had lots of fun together.
We have had a wonderful week full of learning, creativity and celebration. Well done, P2! Enjoy Halloween tomorrow 🎃
We all seemed to have had a great October break holiday and have returned refreshed and ready to learn.
We were treated to a wonderful theatre performance of “Robin Hood” on Wednesday morning where we were a quality audience and were able to demonstrate the school values to our visitors. Well done everyone!
There have been lots of spooky goings on this week in Primary 3. We have been reading some fantastic Halloween stories including, “Room on the Broom”, “Funny Bones” and “Pumpkin Soup”. We have taken part in lots of Halloween activities. We made edible witches wands and super scary mummy biscuits too!
Our week ended with our Halloween Party which was great fun and was enjoyed by all!
Thank you for your fabulous efforts with the children’s costumes.They were amazing!
P7 are happy to be back and ready for the new term.
We are delighted that we were all successful in our Prefect interviews and we have all been assigned our Prefect jobs. Well done everyone!
In our class we love reading. We read for enjoyment, we all love our class novel Holes.
Narwin – I love the twists and turns that take place in the story and it is really funny.
Katie – It is very interesting with lots happening, the adults are bullies in the story.
Evie – It is a nice story, I like the friendship between Stanley and Zero.
David – The Warden and Mr Sir are very mean.
We also enjoy our group reading time. We especially enjoy discussing the story and making predictions.
We were very lucky to get the chance to watch a Panto this week too! Robin Hood was very funny and we loved the music and we had a good dance along with the show.
P5/4 have been enjoying a fun week back after half term. On Wednesday we enjoyed a pantomime in school – Robin Hood. We also planned a few Halloweens crafts to do before our party on Friday which we can’t wait for!
We have also been busy starting a new writing topic – Information Report. In numeracy we are working on subtraction and in Science we are learning about food chains. We are also finding out how the Romans changed Britain after their invasion.
Well done everyone!
We have had another busy week in primary 6 this week. We have been working hard across the curriculum and have finished our work on subtraction in numeracy this week.
As we finished off our solar system topic, we looked at the difference between primary and secondary sources, what source type is more useful, and researched our own sources to provide us with information about the Apollo 11 moon landing. This work culminated in us creating our own newspaper front page imagining that we were journalists reporting on the story in real time.
As October is the month of the rosary, we learned about the miracle of the sun and the story of Our Lady of Fatima. It was good to learn a bit more about our school’s patron saint.
We finished the week with an online quiz with questions about everything we have learned across the curriculum this week and the standard was very high.
It is time for a well earned October break for everyone. Have a good holiday!
We got a lovely surprise on Monday when Miss Pritchard invited us all along to the hall for “Hot Chocolate Monday”, as our whole class received a certificate at Friday’s assembly for welcoming and supporting a new addition to our class so well. Well done Primary 3!
This week we spent time introducing the 2 Times Table using lots of concrete materials. We feel we have made a good start as we have already been practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s!
Our class members of the STEM committee brought some materials back to class to demonstrate an experiment. They demonstrated with confidence although we are not sure how successful the experiment was.
Thank you to Primary 3 for all their hard work this term. We hope everyone has a lovely, relaxing October break.
P5/4 are knocking it out of the park for ICT skills.
Over the last few weeks we have been logging into Glow and using lots of different platforms. We have used Clickview for our research, My World of Work for skills and jobs research, Epic Books for our reading and Blooket and Kahoot for our plenaries. Amazing work!!!
