In primary 6 this week we have spent a lot of time sharing our learning. Both with each other and with our adults who came to visit us on Friday.

We have been sharing our work on our chosen planet with each other which has allowed us to practice our presenting skills as well as working on being a quality audience.

We were also able to welcome our adults into the classroom as we chose our new class novel. We were looking at information we could gather from a book before we read it. We then all had a chance to vote for our favourite, before writing to persuade others to pick our choice.

It has been another good (albeit short) week in primary 6.

This week in Health and Well Being we have been continuing our topic on Friendship which has worked well as we welcome a new pupil to our class. The children have been demonstrating our School Values by including, helping and supporting him as he settles in to his new class.

In RE we have been learning about the story of the Ten Commandments and how God wants us to use them as a guide so we can live as He wants us to.

As part of our Ancient Egyptians topic we learned about the gory process of mummification and we started to create our model Egyptian mummies.

We ended the week with a lovely school mass where we celebrated October as a month of the Holy Rosary.

Making the most of the autumnal weather in Ness. Outdoor learning is a major focus for us and our our pupils were keen to plant some seeds. We learned about the way seeds germinate and what care and nutrients they need to grow. Like us, they need proper food, water, warmth and sunlight.

Cool Fact: did you know corn seeds are the actual corn bits you eat?

Enjoy our pictures.

This week in P5/4 we have been learning how to listen, share and take turns with our mystery boxes. Twice weekly we open a different box and learn how to play a new game or complete a puzzle.

We have stated our new science topic – ecosystems – and our new IDL topic – Romans. And in writing we are working on describing.

In maths we are learning addition and subtraction with renaming. In French we are learning about parts of the body and we are using ICT daily across our plenaries.

Well done P5/4, you are doing brilliantly!

The Nurture Class have been enjoying a mini topic all about autumn! 🍂 This week, we explored the colours, sights and changes that we see during autumn and created some lovely autumnal artwork. The children enjoyed getting creative and using different materials and techniques to make their own autumn-inspired pieces. 🎨🍁
