On Tuesday we all took part in a Judo lesson and we enjoyed meeting Jake, who was a brown belt. We all enjoyed using new self-defence moves on our partners.

We finished reading our class novel Pig-heart Boy by Malorie Blackman this week and we all enjoyed it although it ended on a huge cliff-hanger.

In Maths we continued our revision and we revisited measure, rounding numbers and negative numbers which people had originally found difficult so that’s why we revised them!

We used French vocabulary for our hobbies and favourite sports to practise saying whether we liked or disliked different things and some of us played French sports and hobbies charades.

For our current topic, we looked at the history of the Olympics and the Olympic logo. We took turns to match flags to their countries within the different continents and on Tuesday we completed an Olympics short read.

During Health and Wellbeing, we all discussed the problem of Bullying and we looked at the facts and the steps to be taken if we are ever bullied or if we ever are aware of any bullying taking place. We all designed a bullying poster.

Despite the change in weather we all thoroughly enjoyed going outside and taking part in Capture the Flag against the Primary 7 class on Wednesday even though we all got very muddy! P7 won 8-5 although we won the last 5 games in a row. That was the last ever capture the flag for our P7s

 

Today was the Achievement assembly where many awards were presented, including the football and basketball awards which were presented to the winners.

We also have had the last Ninian’s Natter of the school year.

Have a great weekend from Primary 6/7 and Mrs Reeves

This week the excitement in P6/7 Has BEEN REALLY HIGH!! This was due to the election for new House & Vice Captains!

WELL DONE to all those who were successful!

On Tuesday it was the first day for the nursery children moving up to Primary 1 and the same again on Wednesday. Many of us enjoyed our role as buddies, helping them all to settle in.

For Writing we began with a VCOP Learning Intention and we then had the following story starter: “Bleary-eyed, I went downstairs for breakfast, the house was empty, even the furniture had gone…” We all really enjoyed this and had lots of interesting ideas.

Thanks to all the lovely weather this week, in P.E we were outside and able to take part in Relay Races, running in teams of four and then back inside the classroom, we continued with even harder algebra in Maths, where we had to make up our own equations.

For our Sport Science topic we completed a hand model which actually worked!

What another busy week we’ve had! We started off the week with a ‘Jammin Fitness’ session where we thought about having a Positive Mindset and we practised some fitness moves that helped us keep fit and have fun at the same time.

In Maths we started to learn Algebra, which we all really enjoyed!

We also continued learning about the French words for parts of the body by playing body bingo and body Beetledrive!

On Tuesday we took part in the Cross Country run and we are all really proud of our success!

In writing, we all wrote some fabulous imaginative stories inspired by some photographs.

We started to learn lots of facts about the muscles in our body and as the weather was so nice, we used Drama to practise and present the information to each other outside.

Have a great weekend!

What a busy week Primary 6/7 have had! We started off the week with some Body Combat, and then we really enjoyed our Boxing lesson on Tuesday. We have also taken part in Hockey, Football, Bootcamp and Gymnastics. Our highlight of the week was definitely the Micro Fitness Assault Course where we were able to play on a huge bouncy castle with a slide and basketball hoops! We also enjoyed playing Capture the Flag on Wednesday.

 

Aside from all the sporting events we have been learning about healthy lifestyles and had really interesting talks about the dangers of tobacco and we made some delicious healthy fruit ice lollies. We have also loved helping out with all the nursery children and playing with them in the playground.  We have been learning all about muscles and bones and produced some fabulous life-size posters displaying our learning.

we shall be sorry to say goodbye to Miss McCormack who has been a fabulous teacher for the last few weeks. We wish her good luck and every success for her future.

 

Now we are looking forward to a rest after all this activity!

Have a great weekend everyone!

P6/7 and Mrs Reeves

This week we had a visit from Miss Strictmore who came to give us a Victorian writing lesson. She made us all feel like we were living in Victorian times and we were exceptionally well-behaved.

We all enjoyed writing our Victorian diaries and managed to include lots of time connectives and interesting vocabulary. Unfortunately some of us had to wear the ‘dunce’ hat!

As usual, we have been continuing to improve our fitness by running the daily mile and playing Russian longball and gang rounders in P.E.

We built on our learning about percentages in maths, and as part of our outdoor learning we looked at  pictograms and symmetry with Mr Hunter and we drew lines of symmetry.

In drama we practiced our miming skills and tried to show specific emotions through our facial expressions and movements.

Have a great weekend!

On Thursday the Primary 6’s went on their school trip to Scotland Street Museum in Glasgow. The school was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and we all had the opportunity to dress up in Victorian school clothes and experience a Victorian style lesson! We all had a great time.

We also played Victorian outdoor games:

 

Here are some of our comments:

Liam: “Petrifying!”

Eve: “It was epic!”

Dallas: “Fun!”

Nikki: “Horrifying, yet I would love to go back again.”

Charlie: “Interesting.”

Catherine and Aimee: “The most amazing experience of my life!”

Liam: “I’ll never forget it!”

In P.E. we played Russian long ball and we have been continuing the daily mile and starting to improve our times. We started percentages in maths this week and in writing we used our assessment scores to help us focus on the areas we need to improve.  In R.E. we designed leaves with a quote that inspired us with Miss Smyth.

We’ve had an epic week!
