Welcome back everyone to our final term in P6/7! It’s going to be a busy one!!
This week we welcomed Miss Lydon who has joined us from the University of Glasgow and will remain with us until the end of May. She will be planning and leading some of the learning experiences this term alongside Mrs Roy.
We also welcomed 2 students from Edinburgh University who will be assisting Mr McCurdy in PE lessons this term. The focus will be athletics so come prepared for indoor and outdoor lessons. Bring a water bottle!
Our new topic will be ‘Global Goals’ and our class have been split into teams to work on researching a goal of their choice and then creating a movie about it. These movies will be premiered at our topic showcase in May – all welcome to come along!!
In writing this week Miss Lydon asked us all to imagine what our lives would be like in the year 2030 – we had some great ideas!! Mrs Roy was not happy as she was envisaging her life at an older age!!!
In literacy we have been learning about the ‘Description’ genre and next week we will have a go at writing some descriptions. We have also been looking at structure of texts.
In numeracy we had a go at investigating number patterns – square numbers, cube numbers, Pascal and Fibonacci – it was pretty tricky!
Some of our P6 pupils went to Lowport this week for an overnight stay. They all agreed that it was a great experience!
A gentle reminder that all pupils should have a separate pair of soft shoes for indoor wear to protect the flooring and for PE lessons in the gym hall. Thank you.
