We have had a very busy, fun filled and inspirational week in Primary 6! Read on for more information.
Charlie and Maxx: Today we celebrated St. Ninian’s Feast Day and had a Mass in school. Yesterday we revised our knowledge of St. Ninian and his life and we created a prayer about St. Ninian and our school community.
Chloe: In PE we are doing tennis and we learned how to play doubles matches.
Rebecca, Preston, Charlie and Taylor: It was inspirational week of maths and we had lots of really tricky challenges to do. We did a 2 scoop cone ice cream challenge where we had to think of 10 flavours and try to get as many 2 scoop combinations as possible. For example: chocolate and vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, chocolate and banana etc. We also had a challenge called Leo the Rabbit which involved working out different patterns for Leo to get up a flight of 10 stairs using only 1 or 2 hops. We also created an optical illusion by linking maths with art and we looked at some well-known optical illusions and how they use warping and different sizes of shape to trick our eyes. Another maths challenge was to try and make as many tower combinations as we could with 4 coloured blocks.
Toni: For homework this week we tried to answer as many questions as possible in the Scottish contest on Sumdog.
Bea: On Monday we brought in our creative maths homework task and we had a chance to look at what each other had created. It was really fun playing the games which people had made.
Taylor: Last night we had Ninian’s Natter and we taught our parents how to do some of the maths tasks we do in school like Number Talks and Sumdog. We also let them try out our creative maths homework and the 2 scoop ice cream challenge.
Ethan: The Dog’s Trust visited us to tell us about how to keep safe around dogs and how to care for them too.
Vanessa: In writing we created a diary entry from Cameron, the main character in our class novel, Pig Heart Boy. We had to put ourselves in Cameron’s shoes and write about a key event in his life in the story so far.
Have a great long weekend!
Taylor has loved Maths week and has really enjoyed each of the tasks. She was super excited to get a purple star for 25 house points for her writing task and were so very proud of her. Shes loving P6 and seems to be settling in very well. Was lovely to come along to Ninians Natter and meet Miss Ford and see all the hard work the children have done so far. Happy holidays all. 😀
