Science Festival Workshop

During the science festival, we participated in a car workshop. We learned about the fastest car on earth and how it works. We were then set the challenge to build and create our own cars. We even had a race to see which car moved the quickest. We altered our design to improve our cars too!

Welcome to the new term!

The blog will be updated regularly with photos and comments about what we are learning about in p5/6/7. Please feel free to leave comments!

Transition day

Today the primary 4's and 5's from Mrs Scott's class joined the p5/6/7 class. The transition morning consisted of the children getting to know each other more and working in small groups. We all participated in a morning check in where we used describing words to go with our name. We then played a mental maths countdown game where we had to reach a target number. After music we were set the challenge of designing and innovative and imaginative pencil case. We played dragon's den where we had to sell our pencil cases and describe the imaginary features on them. Everyone came up with excellent ideas!

Measuring areas

We have been learning about lengths and areas recently. This week we have been estimating and measuring areas in and around the school. We all did accurate estimations and checked these by measuring areas in small groups. We were focusing on squares and rectangles this week. We were learning to multiply the breadth and the length together to find squared centimetres and metres.

P6 Assembly - Sharing experiences from Hoy

Last Friday, the primary 6's shared their experiences from their days in Hoy. There were a range of photos from the trip where the primary 6's explained the activities and routines. The P6's shared their reflective Hoy trip poems they created in class to the rest of the school. Everyone spoke very clearly and at an appropriate pace.

Blind fold challenge!

The other week, we went outdoors to develop our team skills and communication skills. We had to guide each other over ropes blind folded. We used excellent communication skills and were clear with our directions. We all developed our confidence and put trust in our peers. Well done everyone!
