This week in P6/7 we have been learning about pets in Spanish we made posters about the different kind of pets. They have very unusual names like un perro (dog), un conejillo de Indias, (Guinea pig)and  un caballo (pony/horse).

This Wednesday we started our Scottish dancing. Mr McCurdy said that we all participated well and worked hard. Then on Thursday we did Scottish dancing again but with Mrs. Reeves she said we all did well too! We have been working on our Science topic over the past few weeks. In our investigation into mould, we have found out that the mouldiest bread was the wet bread in class and also the wet bread in a dark cupboard. The least mouldy were the slices that were put in the fridge and in the freezer.

In maths we have been doing co-ordinates with Mrs Keegan and played a few games to do with co- ordinates like battleship, finding the co-ordinates and spelling out the co-ordinates.

 

On Thursday we had a special visitor from the SSPCA who told us  about endangered animals in the wild like the red squirrels, grey squirrels, various birds and much more.

Have a great weekend from all of P6/7 and Mrs Reeves!

This week in Primary 6/7 as part of our Science topic we have been looking at the results of our mouldy bread investigation and we also took part in another investigation looking at the effect of salt  when we try to freeze water.

In Writing, we finished our Middle Ages stories and we learnt some facts about the Black Death. We tried a new system in Maths, which allows us to choose our activity and decide if we want to try an extra challenge task.

On Thursday those of us in Whithorn were able to go to Pizza Express as our prize for winning the house points and the rest of us all enjoyed attending our class mass at St Philips along with other members of the community. Afterwards we were delighted to have a chance for a short play at the park!!

Finally we finished off the week with a Dress Down Day in support of Children in Need.
