Halloween.

P7/6 have had a great week writing imaginary stories about Halloween.  The class have incorporated spooky vocabulary and they have produced excellent, imaginative stories about Halloween ghouls, ghosts and of course zombies!  Creativity and imagination to the forefront - keep up the good work!

Judo Taster Session

On Tuesday afternoon pupils in Primary 7/6 enjoyed a Judo workshop in partnership with Active Schools.  They had lots of fun and learned some Judo techniques. 

 

Story Starts - Big Writing.

P7/6 had a wonderful - Big Writing experience as a result of incorporating the wonderful resource Story-Starts from Teacher's T.V.  A short, narrated clip was shown to the class and the children used this stimulus to carry on the story in the same style as the narrator.  Collaborative planning was to the forefront with the children completing their stories next week.  Keep up the hard work P.7/6.

International Day - Spanish focus.

Primary 7/6 enjoyed a wide range of Spanish activities and resources to celebrate - International Day on Tuesday 26th September 2017. The children learned new Spanish vocabulary, consolidated what they already know namely - colours, numbers, family and greetings and in mental maths we added and subtracted in Spanish.  The highlight of the day for the children was when they composed a letter to an imaginary Spanish Pen pal incorporating some Spanish vocabulary - well done P 7/6 and adios for now!

Maths Week Scotland

Primary 7/6 had a fabulous time participating in Maths Week Scotland.  They enjoyed completing a variety of Maths and Numeracy activities including Outdoor Maths, Maths Games, ICT and STEM Challenges.

How Can I Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - Idea 1

Here is an easy way to recycle old crayons.

1) First you collect any old crayons and snap or cut them into small pieces.

2) Place the pieces in random colour combinations (or you could use same colour combination if you wish) in a silicone mould tray.

3) Place them in an oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 - 10 mins until the wax has melted.

4) Carefully take the mould out and pierce any air bubbles with a cocktail stick.  Try not to mix the colours too much here.

5)  Leave them to harden for 30 minutes.

6) When hard, pop them out of the moulds and you have new colourful crayons.

*** We will be selling boxes of our recycled crayons at our fashion show on March 15th. ***
