Today, P5/6 were issued with a Scottish poem that we read over carefully and discussed in class. Your child should have brought this home, as it needs to be learned for early next week, when we will have a competition to see who can represent the class at next week’s Burns Supper that P5/6 will be leading. The Burns Supper will be on Thursday 26th January, so we will be rehearsing this week to see who will have the responsibility of either leading the Burns Supper, or delivering some of the speeches.
I am looking for enthusiastic delivery of the poetry homework, and good pronunciation and clarity for the roles that will be available.

This presentation about football also included a practical demonstration of skills!
Over the course of the past week, P5/6 have been making presentations on a very wide range of topics to the rest of the class. There have been a variety of ways of presenting as well, which has been great to see. The remaining few presentations will be heard on Monday and thereafter, I will give individual feedback to everyone. Well done P5/6!
Asking questions to our friends in Finland
We had a really wonderful webcam conference with our link school in Finland this morning, asking and answering lots of questions that we wanted to find out about each other. Winter has finally arrived there, with the temperature last night getting down to -5C, though there is no snow yet.
Remember, if you wish to view the replay of this at home, ask your child to give you the url of the meeting.
..and receiving the replies from our Finnish friends.
Earlier today, the whole class worked collaboratively to produce a short and very scary story… Click the link to listen to it and see if you can work out which piece your child contributed to the overall story! 
On Wednesday p5/6 created a whole class spooky Halloween story. We did it in our tables making different sentences. We all had to think of one or two sentences to add in to the story. Once we had thought of our sentences Mr Purves recorded them. Once all the tables finished their part of the story we got to listen to the class story. We all thought that our class story was very good and would scare adults easily! All the class thought that this challenge was very good fun and would love to do it near Hallowe’en again!

In language this week, we created our own comic strips which showed some of the things we had done during the October holiday week.
