It has been a week packed with learning for primary 6.\u00a0 We all enjoyed our first teacher carousel afternoon.\u00a0 All the primary 6 pupils came together and worked with Mrs Currie on a science topic.\u00a0 We continued working on place value in numeracy and began to work on different addition and subtraction methods.
\nWe also continued reading our class novel, it is getting very exciting! We worked as a class to discuss the positive and negative factors of being educated and home, or being educated at school.\u00a0 After a lengthy class discussion we came to a conclusion as a class that we all favour being educated at school! The only negative we gave was the early mornings!
\nOur writing lessons this week have focused on descriptive writing.\u00a0 All pupils worked very hard on descriptions of Skellig and some settings from the novel.\u00a0 Some pieces of writing were particularly impressive, when reading them I felt like I was really there! I could imagine exactly what Skellig is like.<\/p>\n

Here is what some pupils have to say about their learning this week:<\/p>\n

Aliza: \u201cI enjoyed the science lesson during the teacher carousel because we got to go outside and experiment with forces and air resistance. We used pieces of card to test this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krzysztof: \u201cI also enjoyed the science lessons, especially learning about \u2018Bloodhound\u2019 the fastest vehicle.\u00a0 We then made our own paper models to test air resistance\u201d<\/p>\n

Declan: \u201cIt has been fun and exciting learning all about place value this week, we have gone beyond millions!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mia St.: \u201cI enjoyed listening to more of our class novel, I particularly enjoyed when we found out that Skellig has wings\u201d<\/p>\n

Erwin: \u201cWe used our reading books and class novels to go on a vocabulary hunt to add to our VCOP wall. We found interesting words that we can add to our own descriptive writing\u201d<\/p>\n

Neave: \u201cIn our descriptive writing this week we used similes, metaphors and personification to describe Skellig and other characters from the novel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicholas: \u201cToday is St. Ninain\u2019s feast day.\u00a0 We celebrated by having a special Mass and in class we have been learning about his life and how he was the first known Christian in Scotland.\u00a0 We looked at Mrs Howley\u2019s pictures from her trip to Whithorn to visit St Ninian\u2019s Cave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the parents and pupils who came along to Ninian\u2019s Natter last night.\u00a0 Pupils who did not attend last night have taken their learning profiles home.\u00a0 Their learning profiles should contain an \u2018all about me\u2019 page, \u2018school community\u2019 page and their 3 current personal learning goals.\u00a0 Please discuss your learning profile at home and remember to add in any personal achievements or proud moments.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your long weekend, I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday!<\/p>\n
