Musical Talents

We have a range of talented individuals in P6 but today we celebrate the musical talents of our class. Mr Hay comes into school each week to tutor a couple of P6 pupils and he was detailed to share today that they are making super progress.

I look forward to being entertained soon.

Bikeability

Congratulations to all the P6 pupils who completed the Bikeability training over the last 2 terms. I am pleased to say they have all passed the training requirements.

Thank you so much to the volunteers who use up their own time to help our young people stay safe when out on their bikes.

Open Afternoon

It was lovely to see so many parents come along to the classroom during our recent open afternoon.

It gave Miss Walker and I a chance to showcase how we support the more structured learning in Numeracy and Maths (jotter work) with games and activities.

The children were excellent tour guides instructuing the adults how to play our games.

Europe

We have made a great start to our Europe topic so far this term.

With Miss Walker we have been looking at the Geographical elements of Europe; using our atlases to learn about the separate countries. capitals, mountains and bodies of water of this continent.

We explored the country of Spain in greater detail and used our research notes to create our own Fact Files on this country.

With Mrs Thomson we have revisited our learning of the French language and have reminded ourselves of how of how to introduce ourselves, and of the numbers, days and months of the year in order that we can say the day and date.

We have now moved on to French food. This has made us very hungry. As well as learning the French vocabulary we are also researching how French food is similar and different to Scottish food. We are keen to find out if they have mince and tatties in France.

In art we have been looking at the art of Picasso. We have created these super 3d masks influenced by the cubist paintings of Picasso.

I just wanted to thank all of the children for their lovely welcome back to school. They have been extremely helpful in answering my (many!!) questions and keeping me right. I am looking forward to working with P6 and Mrs Thomson for the rest of the school year!

Thank you! 😀

Miss Walker

Happy New Year! Welcome to Term 3!

I can't believe that we are in Term 3 already and after a snowy start we are up and running in P6 with lots to look forward to this term. I would like to thank you all for the lovely cards, gifts and Christmas wishes which were bestowed on me during the last week of term. It was very kind of you.

We have been very excited to welcome Miss Walker back to class after her maternity leave. You may have noticed Mr Connon's post on the school app confirming that Miss Walker will now be Class Teacher on a Monday and Tuesday and I will be Class Teacher on a Thursday and Friday. We will be working alternate Wednesdays.

We will shall be posting our Termly Organiser once Miss Walker has settled back but we are looking forward to a big IDL topic on Europe which will tie in nicely to the Highland P6 Euro Quiz which takes place later this term. We will also be revisiting our learning in French and Miss Adair will be carrying out a Science topic during our CCR time.

It is also that time of year again when we are busy learning our Scots Language Poem as part of our Burns' Day celebration. Our annual competition is also an exciting time for us in school. Children will be learning the poem in school but have also been asked to work on learning the poem as part of their homework.

Please note for now;

Homework will be issued on a Monday and should be returned on a Friday,

PE will now take place on a TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY. Please take a note of this change. All pupils require a pair of indoor shoes suitable for physical excercise. As Mr Connon has previously advised us all, crocs and slippers are not safe for PE.

P6 pupils are reminded that as part of the terms of their Chromebook agreement, all Chromebooks should be charged and ready for learning when children come in to school in the morning ready for learning.

Thank you

Pauline
