A Lively Week in P6/7

 

AUTHOR’S LIVE

This week in P6/7 we watched Author’s Live, starring, Frank Cottrell-Boyce we had a fun time watching and listening to all the things he did when he was little and what inspired him to make his latest book, Sputnik’s guide to life on Earth!  We enjoyed it and hope to come to one Author’s Live soon.

Abi: “Yesterday we watched Author’s Live!”

Jay: “We done Author’s Live with Frank Cottrell-Boyce.”

 

P.E

We also had our amazing P.E teacher, Mr McCurdy teaching us how to use the bars, volt and balance well. Beth, Abi and Aria were our stars! They taught us exercises they do at their gymnastics club, it was great!

Caiden: “In P.E we are doing gymnastics.”

Cole: “Gymnastics is fun, I like to climb on the bars.”

 

GOOGLE EARTH

When the P7s we busy, the P6s went onto Google Earth and explored the world! They learned about where Mary Queen of Scots was held in for at least a few years, so the P6s researched to learn more about her!

Brooke: “P6 went on Google Earth to search for Lochleven.”

 

READING

The P7s finally finished their reading book “Running Wild” by Michael Morpurgo! So, they are now on a new reading book,  one full of emotions and an amazing kid full of personality.

On the other side the Killer Cat reading book, also finished their reading book and are now onto another story, but this one is a mystery because they haven’t found out their reading book…

Lorena: “The P7s got there new reading book ‘Wonder’ which I’m really excited for!

Lauren: “My group finished our reading book.”

Toni: “This week the P7s got our new book Wonder. I was really tempted to watch the movie, but I didn’t want to spoil the book.”

Ivana: P7s started their new reading book, it is named wonder.

Thomas: “The P7s started the book, ‘Wonder’”

 

FOOTBALL

The school’s football team went up to West Calder on Thursday.

Thomas: “The football team had a tournament and did well.”

Ethan: “I went to the football tournament on Thursday.”

Matt: “We went to a football tournament.”

 

WRITING OUR LAST LETTERS!

This week in writing we discovered Mary Queen of Scots last letter. It was pretty interesting since it was 8 hours away before her execution, we wrote on how we thought if we were in Mary’s shoes. How would you feel? If you knew you were going to die in the next 8 hours!

Ambra: “We wrote a letter about Mary’s last letter!”

Daniel: “We done writing about Mary’s last letter.”

 

MUSIC

We kindly had Mrs. Smith over and she taught us about different types of music and instruments including; the strings, woodwind, percussion, brass. We also learned about Tempo, Timbre and Dynamics.

Beth: “I really enjoyed doing music with Mrs. Smith, it was great fun and it was nice because we have not done music in ages.”
