#stninianskidscan
From 6th September to 3rd November we will be joining in with this event. Families can collect their Team GB stickers when they spend over £30 in Aldi stores. These stickers can be sent into our school office to be added to our school poster. We are aiming to collect 300 stickers which would earn us an exclusive free sports kit and would also enter us into a prize draw to win £20,000.
Please support us if you can!
Thank you
This week some of our highlights include;
We began to work on rugby in PE – we will be working outdoors for this block of PE. We learned about passing and catching – banana tig was a highlight, can you child explain the rules to you?
In our class novel we learned about Auggie’s genes and how he had a mutated gene. This led us to ask some questions about what DNA was and how genes work. We learned that we all have DNA in our bodies – every cell has DNA. The most interesting fact was definitely that we carry 99.1% of the same DNA as chimpanzees!
Another Friday meant another FREE WRITING FRIDAY session! We love getting the freedom to write what is on our minds and also having the class playlist on in the background.
In our writing session we made Wikipedia pages about August Pullman, the main character in our class novel – Wonder! We can’t wait to show our families at our Stay, Play and Write session soon!
Have a fab weekend!
Pupil voice;
Oliwia – I liked rugby (PE) because it was fun!
Finlay – My favourite part of school this week was learning about the DNA because I am in to dinosaurs and how they do the tests – and I’m really into science as well. I knew about DNA because of reading books and from Jurassic World.
Daniel – I liked writing about Auggie because I know lots about him.
Dominika – I was prefecting the upper area, it was good.
Lots of learning happening in primary 6/7 this week. We are all back in the swing of learning!
Primary 6 pupils have set their learning goals and primary 7 will be setting up their profiles soon! (technical difficulties!)
We have been enjoying reading more of our class novel and have focused our literacy learning around this. Hopefully we will finish the novel next week, ready to start group novels after the September weekend.
We all spoke about the Pope Francis Faith Award. P6 pupils will be starting their journey this year if they are taking part and primary 7 pupils will continue their journey. Miss McCormack aims to have this up and running by October.
Primary 6 pupils who took part in Bike Ability last year have been invited to complete level 2. Letters sent home today.

Another jam packed week for P7!
As we are getting to know each other better, and our new role as P7 pupils, we have completed our class charter this week – these are the promises we have made to ourselves, and each other, to help our classroom be a READY, RESPECTFUL, SAFE learning space.
Aren’t our characters and posters awesome?
We are loving our class novel – WONDER. This week we have been exploring character study tasks of the main characters. We also learned what a precept was – maybe you and your child could come up with one for your family?
Unofficial homework for next week is to have a go at playing a maths game called TENS! which is downloadable as a free app! The score to beat is 899 at the moment.
I can’t wait to meet all of the parents/carers/brothers/sisters at the Meet the Family night on Thursday 12th Septemer 6-7pm 🙂
Pupil Voice;
Brooke – Show Racism the Red Card was good because it tells you what racism actually is and its helpful to know about it. The best bit was the matching game where we had to match a face with a description.
Mirren – This week was the house captains first meeting. We are doing a house captain assembly next week and hopefully we do well!
Samuel – I enjoyed redrafting my letter for the time capsule because I am looking forward to seeing what future me thinks about it in June 2020. Hopefully it’ll come fast.
Marcella – I enjoyed reading the novel but it was sad at some times. Auggie is my favourite character.
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Mrs Conway
A busy week in primary 6/7 with lots of learning.
Primary 7 were visited by the Show Racism the Red Card team on Monday and really enjoyed the input. We have read more of our class Novel and have learned more about some new characters.

Welcome back primary 6/7.
The first week in primary 6/7 has been exciting.
The primary 7 pupils have been spending time helping their buddies and are all doing a great job.
In PE with Mr McCurdy we played football and will be starting rugby next week.
We started our class novel, Wonder. So far we are enjoying it and looking forward to reading more. We found out that the main character has Treacher Collins Syndrome and is starting school for the first time at the age of 10.
Primary 6 had their spelling test and primary 7 had their first whole year group meeting.
Primary 7 pupils who would like to be prefects should return their contracts by Wednesday 28th August.
Today we had great fun solving clues to unlock the box! We had to use maths skills, Spanish and de coding skills to find the answers to lead us to the keys.
We wrote a letter to our future selves that we will get back at the end of the year.
Our classroom is becoming more organised and we are all settling in well.
We are all looking forward to having the best year ever!!!

Like science, were we had to get the Bunsen burner and get wooden sticks and dip them in metal solutions. Then we needed to hold the stick over the flame and it changed to a colour! Some of the colours were red, orange and purple.
In art some classes had to draw 3d shapes, patters and designs using different colours. St Margret’s theme for there was the Woman’s FIFA World Cup and all their classes were based on it. Like in maths, we had to work out how many games 3 teams would have to play, if they had to all play each other. In English we had to guess what each poster of sports was meaning.
Everyone had lots of fun!
