P6/7 class got off to a good start this year by making lava lamps in Science.  Christopher brought in some instructions on how to make one and we worked in groups to make our own.  Amazing what can be done with some vegetable oil and food colouring!

New Year

We have learned that when we are having our lunch a different country is celebrating New Year! There is a countdown to midnight and did you know that in Scotland we call New Year’s Eve Hogmanay? We have all written our New Year’s resolutions – most of us want to keep our rooms tidy, but the teachers all want to get fit and healthy!

Class Focus

This week we have been earning points in class for good behaviour. If we have good listening, pay attention, work hard and don’t shout, then we can earn a class token. We have almost earned 100 so far!

We have a class pet called Marshmallow Max and to get him to sit with us we need to work hard and be kind to everyone else.

Our Classroom

We have taken some photos of our maths wall so you can see the questions we ask Mrs Beattie so we can work out what number she is thinking of. We have also been working on showing each other different ways of working out sums.

In our class we have a class book worm and each time we finish a book we write about the book in a coloured circle then stick it on the wall. Our book worm is almost half way round the classroom now!

We are all back and ready to learn!

p4/5 having been working really hard on their maths and literacy

We are very excited to have pupil of the week back, Lewis achieved it this week for trying really hard with his work.

Our new topic is Weather forecasts from around the world and we are excited to get started.

We hope you had a good holiday and we will be writing our blog on a Friday to tell you what we have been learning that week 🙂

P4/5 and Miss Connor

Yesterday we made New Year Resolution Party hats.

First we wrote our resolution, then we cut out our hats and decorated them.

Here are all of our hats for you to see.

We hope you like them, Primary 1s.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year!

We have lots of exciting work planned for 2016.

Watch the blog for further updates.
