To raise money for our Lenten Charity we decided we wanted to have an Easter Craft/ movie afternoon. This was a great success today. We made Pom Pom Easter Bunnies, Easter baskets which we filled with little chicks, we painted Easter eggs, made Easter cards, we made Spring pictures with stickers and foam shapes and we made scratch Easter pictures. We had fun being artistic and creative.

Cooking 🧑🍳 Club’s final week
It has been a great block of cooking club and we were all a bit sad that this was this blocks last week.
Over the weeks we have made a variety of savoury and sweet items and have learned many new skills while doing so. We have also enjoyed the opportunity to work with others across the school, making new friends.
This week we went with an Easter theme, we made conflate nest 🪺 cakes and iced biscuits 🍪. Again we had to use lists of skills to do this as well as having lots of fun!
Lots of visitors and fun in P6 this week!
This week was a super busy one in P6! In numeracy we have been working on fractions and will soon see how they relate to decimals and percentages. Before that however we will learn about common denominators and continue to simplify.
In literacy we have started our new reading groups and have all received new books Over the coming weeks we will learn in more depth the roles of summarising, prediciting, clarifying and questioning.
We also made pancakes this week, which was great fun! They were delicious!
Finally we had some very special visitors in our class this week. On Friday we had Young Stem Leaders from St Kent’s who gave us a really interesting lesson on magnets and the expansion of the universe. Well done to Edward for sharing his learning with us and thank you to Mr Jack.
As well as this we also enjoyed having the guinea pigs in our classroom for three days. We learned how to clean out their cage, what to feed them and how to handle them. Biscuit and Muffin got lots of cuddles. All in all another brilliant week in P6!
The Big Book Swap
Today we had our Big Book Swap. Children brought books in on World Book Day which they no longer read. Today they were able to choose a new book to take home, keep and enjoy reading. All children were delighted with their new books. Well done to the girls from the Literacy Committee for organising and running this brilliant event.
Cooking Club
This week at cooking club we made tasty burgers.
We had lost of fun mixing the ingredients and using our hands to shape the burgers.
We look forward to cooking again next week!
Cake and Candy
Primary 7 have been helping to organise and support some of our Lenten charity events this week. We were serving at the cake and candy. We made over £240! Thank you for the generous donations and to all those who came to buy cakes.
Next week we are organising a ‘No Pencil Day’ in our class. We have organised lots of learning activities but we will not be using pencils for the whole day.
Lego club goes to Egypt
This week the Lego club challenge was to construct a pyramid with door, that could house something of value. Well done to everyone for carefully constructing the pyramid and leaving an opening. Each pyramid was different and did the job admirably! Next week our Clubbers will bring their valuable in and we will choose a winner! Once again we all had a lovely time and ate some yum snacks! Lego club rules OK!
Lenten Bingo
Primary 7 were playing bingo for Lenten charities today. We went down to help our Primary 1 buddies with the big numbers for the first session then we got to play during the second session. Lots of prizes were won. It got very tense towards the end.
P6 meet their future buddies at Nursery
It’s been an exciting few weeks in P6 as we got to go to Nursery to meet our future P1 buddies! Firstly, we visited in the morning to meet the first group; then we returned in the afternoon and met the afternoon children. We’ll be having some more visits soon and have already made lots of lovely friends!
After the visits, P6 said they loved:
meeting all the new buddies, playing with the nursery toys, exploring the outdoor area, playing on the outdoor equipment, being a role model, letting the smaller children choose what to play and trying some things they’d not tried since nursery.
Well done P6! We know you will make brilliant buddies for our future P1s!
Lego Club – musical monsters and lego man habitat challenge!
This week at Lego Club we started with a challenge called musical monsters! When the music started, each Lego Clubber began to create a monster and when the music stopped, they had to pass it to the person on their left to carry it on. After several makeovers, each monster was complete, and introduced along with details of their function in life. The result was a gruesome range of very shady characters with a number of questionable functions… what happens in Lego Club stays in Lego Club – just saying!! Well done to Luke for winning the challenge with his electronically charging tall bot.
Finally we regained our senses and took part in a habitat challenge for a Lego figure. Luke and Phillip won the prize for their very comfortable spaceship, with a lego figure already moved in and enjoying life inside!
Looking forward to more fun with the bricks next week!
