Busy Times in P6

The primary 6 pupils were learning about social dancing on Monday the 9th of December. It was lots of fun for them. Two months ago, primary six went to the woods and made wreaths and they made baby mobiles as well. When primary 6 first started primary 6 they made pop art and they put it on their wall and it looks fantastic plus at the start at the year primary 6 made a Twitter account for our school. They think Twitter is much better than Facebook because it has better security. Primary 6 made Christmas decorations for their class. It looks 3D. They have been practicing their Christmas songs for the Christmas service.

Awesome activities with P3

We have reported on P3 this week and this is the information that they gave us:

We have been learning about Hundreds Tens and Units. We have been practicing our 5, 6 and 10 times tables and trying to improve. We have been learning songs for the Christmas carol concert and practising them.

This week we also learned about the Green Cross Code and how to use water properly without wasting it. Mrs Mills was teaching us about the shapes like hexagons and pentagons and also how to identify them.

The nativity is very important and we have been auditioning for the narrators to help people understand our Nativity. Mrs Arthur was teaching us all about science including lessons about our bodies. The P1’s have been practising hard for their part in the Nativity and we have been watching them so that they can understand there will be a very big audience.

We had a chance to go to Iona in primary 6’s Drama club and we really enjoyed it also we will be putting on a play for the rest of the school. During the week we have been allowed to wear our Christmas hats and we have had great fun with them. Beth said “We have been doing lots of fun activities this week.” We were making calendars to sell at the P7’s Christmas Cracker and we hoped they would be a great success (which they were).

In class, we really enjoyed making snowmen and putting hats, scarves and gloves on them. Our ‘Go Walkies’ for Guide Dogs was a huge success and we enjoyed using our toy dogs and bringing in prizes and doing our other activities for the older ones. All of us made lots of Happy Birthday notes and sending them to our friends.

If you walk into our class room you will see the birthdays on the wall. Money will be a huge thing in our lives over the next couple of years and because of this we have been learning all about it and how to use it properly without wasting it on sweets and things we want and don’t need.

Learning is Fun in Primary One

What Primary 1 Have Been Learning: This month primary one has been learning about birds, what they look like and what they eat. They have also been learning different letters in the alphabet. They learnt about how to tell the time and some nativity songs. They went out into the staff car park to learn some of the road safety rules. Mrs Kane was teaching them how to draw with chalk and they were counting numbers up to ten. By reporters Mia Kelly (P7) and Thomas Elliott (P4).

Primary 7 Anti-Bullying Week

In Anti-Bullying Week, Primary 7 learned about what makes you smile and what makes you feel happy, sad, upset, angry, included. They also learned about what to do when you are being or see someone else being bullied. They watched two videos. One off of CBBC Newsround called ‘Whose Side You On?’ and one on YouTube called ‘We Are Better Off Without Bullying’ which had no one speaking and had posters and words on people. Primary 7 also made a campaign to stop bullying which was shown on 23rd November 2012 at assembly. The pupils worked in groups and used ICT to get their message across. They made videos, radio programmes and podcasts.

Some people were asked if they liked Anti-Bullying Week and what they enjoyed the most about it. Katie McAskill said she enjoyed it and her favourite thing was doing the campaign. Dani Glover said she enjoyed it as well and also liked the campaign and watching the videos. Jennifer Lyne said she also enjoyed it and liked everything. Marco Zavaroni said he liked it a little and enjoyed the videos!
