This week we wrote a discursive essay about school uniform being compulsory. We had to write a balanced argument looking at both the pros and cons. Here are some examples:

It is important to learn to dress correctly for future events your life, for example when you leave school or studying and you get a job.

On the other hand a con for keeping school uniform being compulsory it is way to expensive for the parent to pay for it every year.

On Wednesday we went see a show at Dedridge primary school it was about these two boys that were best friends and then broke up and they never seen each other in 30 years! And they met in njjjan airport.

Maths Week in Primary 6

This week in primary 6 we have been doing lots of activities for Maths Week.

We completed a murder mystery at the cinema with Mrs McMullen and we had to work out different sums to find out who the murderer was.

We also created our own parabolic designs were we had to join all the numbers together for example 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 all the way to 10. Today we have been creating curves of pursuit.

On Wednesday we were using our problem solving skills to build a bridge. Our bridge had to be strong enough for a toy car to go over. We had a budget of £100 to buy paper, cellotape or paperclips. It was great fun!
