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 28^th 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!!!

This week we have had a short week but we had lots of fun!

We have been made to feel welcome in the upper area and Miss Diamond has made sure we know where everything is in our classroom so we know where to get resources when we need them.

Our new PE days are a Monday and a Wednesday.

We have introduced something new to P5, it is called ‘Free Writing Friday’! Today was our first time trying this new and exciting task.

“It was very interesting and fun! I enjoyed decorating my Free Writing Friday journal!” – Angelina

“I chose to write a story about my holiday and it was pretty fun!” – Elenta

“It was very fun and I really enjoyed it!” – Madison

We have also been making our classroom our own by creating a class charter and setting our new learning goals.

“I liked designing my galaxy character…I drew an astronaut!” – Maeve

“I really liked making the class charter because it was fun getting to research different ideas for the themes!” – Ana

“I liked PE with Mr McCurdy”! – Marcus

“I liked doing PE playing tennis!” – Alishba

“Ryan and I liked doing the spelling test!” – Matthew

“I liked using chalk pens to write my name on my tray!” – Julia C

We are looking forward to next week, a full week in Primary 5 and can’t wait to see what we are going to learn about.

Have a great weekend, Miss Diamond and P5!

This week we have enjoyed Sports Day and Transition Morning.

It was a pleasure to watch the children during Sports Day, they displayed lovely sporting manners and behaviour.  Well done everyone.

For Transition morning the children were given the opportunity to visit their new classroom and meet their new teacher for next session.  This is a very important part of the preparation for moving on and allows the children to put into action their resilience learning as they face changes to their routines.  The children were all buzzing with excitement when they returned to class.

In class this week;

Numeracy – we have been consolidating our knowledge of missing number calculations as well as working out the answers to word problems.

Literacy – we finished all our class reading books and also looked back at our previous topic of Charlie and Lola stories.  We watched a story called “I can do everything absolutely on my own”.  In this story Lola thought that she did not need any help to do things but in the end she realised that there are some things (like playing on a seesaw) that you need help with.  We all wrote about this story in our writing jotters and linked this learning to our Building Resilience programme of work by discussing how it’s OK to ask for help and how important our Back-up Team is.

Have a lovely weekend.
