This week has been pretty exciting. We were out of class for 2 days whilst our classroom was getting painted. It’s now fresh, bright and looks great! It was very exciting coming in this morning and seeing what a difference the bright colour has made to our classroom.
Whilst out of the classroom for 2 days we used the space in the dinner hall to help us with our science. This week we focused on the Solar System and Sound Waves. We focused on the size of the solar system and used lots of previous learning in maths to help us map out the solar system to scale. We even managed to do this in the playground! Also, we used our knowledge of drawing circles to draw all the planets to scale, this was a tricky task as some had to be drawn very small, whilst some were too big to draw with a compass. The class worked excellently in their groups and produced fantastic work.
Here are our comments and photographs this week:
Erwin – this week we been talking about the solar system for science in class and it was fun!
Jennifer-this week our classroom got painted lilac and we got to work in the hall I think it’s good working in the hall because we had more space we were put in groups to work in and learned about the solar system, sound waves and animals. We have also been taking part in a daily lent challenge.
Kieran- This week we done science which included things about the solar system and sound waves the top is called the peek the bottom is the trough. We were in the lunch hall instead of our classroom as it was being painted. We went outside and drew planets they were Mercury , Venus, Earth, Mars, Uranus and Neptune the dwarf planets are Pluto and Eris.
Aliza- This week we all gave in our buddy applications and soon we are going to be buddies!! On Wednesday and Thursday we had to sit in the lunch hall because our classroom was being painted purple. We have been learning about the solar system this week and we learnt lots of information about all the different planets!
Emma-This week we had to hand in our buddy applications and on Wednesday and Thursday we got moved to the lunch hall in the lunch hall we learned about: The solar system, Sound waves and Animal communication. IT WAS AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!
Emily- this week we were working in the hall because our class room was getting painted. We were learning about the solar system. and got to meet our new deputy head teacher.
Amera-this week p6 were in the dinner hall because our classroom was getting painted. And we had to hand in our buddy application to try to get a buddy and if the teachers in the nursery liked the application we would get a buddy!!
I heard it was all exciting having lessons in the gym hall, I can’t wait to see new bright classrooms.
Great pictures, I love all the planets.
Nice to see them doing some of their learning outside (despite the rotten Scottish weather!) Looking forward to seeing the bright classroom soon, maybe I’ll have a peak when I’m in for Parent Council next Thursday (if Mrs Purdie lets me!)
I wondered about holding our meeting in the P6 classroom for a change! It looks fab. 🙂
I thought it might also be a good way of suggesting the Parent Council help to purchase new purple chairs for the classrooms too!!!!!! You know me, always asking for something!
I love the idea to take your science lesson outdoors, we have been discussing Erin’ s learning this week at home as she has been telling us all the facts she has learned about the planets.
Well, P6. I loved your blog this week. I even tweeted about it to share your learning with the Twitter world. Check it out! https://twitter.com/StNinianPS
It was brilliant to see you apply your science and maths skills outdoors. We need to do more of this. Maybe you and Miss McCormack could help me put together a plan for outdoor learning for our whole school? This could be your first ‘almost P7’ leadership project? Let me know what you think and I will pop up to chat about it.
I’m delighted that you like your classroom now that it is bright and fresh. I know you will take good care of it too. Would it be ok to hold our Parent Council meeting in your room on Thursday evening?
Buddy applications are now in and the selection process begins. You have worked hard on them. You have so many strengths and qualities that will make you great buddies. Can’t wait to hear the outcome of it all.
Thank you for your comment Mrs Purdie, we would be delighted to have the parent council meeting in our classroom this week!
We have had a discussion about outdoor learning this morning and the benefits of learning outdoors. We would love to help plan more outdoor learning and will start thinking about ideas we can share with other classes.
