Teacher voice:
Another great week, the time is flying by!!!
This week we studied financial literacy connected to our Enterprise and numeracy work. Everyone had great fun learning about and creating budgets!! The pupils were not amused when they had to spend their hard earned cash on fixing washing machines and paying bills!!! I was really pleased to read about how they had got on with their budgeting task at home, almost everyone stayed within budget. We also looked at the differences between debit and credit cards.
In writing we explored issues affecting Scotland and then chose one to write a prayer about. Check out Twitter to see some examples.
We began thinking about Catholic Education Week and started by discussing what was good about our school, this then led to a discussion about what was good about a faith school. Again see Twitter for our main discussion points.
Preparation is underway for next week’s Christmas Fair – P6/7 are in charge of organising Santa’s Grotto. We have made advertisement posters and videos with the ipads, made template letters using Microsoft Word, made a Christmas postbox, sorted out Santa’s gifts and wrote a blog post!! Phew…..
Many of the children have expressed an interest in helping me out next Thursday evening between 5.30-7pm. I will give them a time slot to allow them time to also enjoy the evening with their families. They can wear something Christmassy!!!!
A reminder for P7’s that they are going to St Margaret’s for their first Science lesson bewteen 10-12pm on Monday. They will need a small snack.
Have a great weekend – and remember to stay within budget when shopping on Black Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mrs Roy and P6/7
