Primary 6

Friday 5th December

What a busy week we have had. We started the week off with our exhibition and singalong. This was a great success and the children demonstrated a great knowledge of WW2 when they showed parents, grandparents and friends round the exhibition discussing evacuation and making identity cards and gas masks. The singalong was fantastic and the children in P6, P6/7 and P7 looked and sounded brilliant. They were all wearing their outfits from the Make do and Mend task and a lot of work and time had clearly been spent making their clothes.

On Tuesday the rest of the school had the opportunity to come along and see the exhibition and from the comments that were returned they all had a great time too.
The children really enjoyed this experience this week and it was lovely to share what they have learned with others.

Well done P6, P6/7 and P7.

Tuesday 25th November

P6 invite parents and friends to their WW2 exhibition and sing-a-long on Monday 1st December at 1.00pm. The exhibition is in collaboration with P6/7 and P7 and will take place in the different classrooms and the GP room. We can’t wait to share our work with you ! The sing- a- long will start at 2.00pm in the hall. Everyone welcome.

On Tuesday the 2nd December we are also looking forward to welcoming all the different classes in the school to come and share what we have been learning. We hope you will enjoy visiting the different rooms and learning all about World War 2. Your invitations should be with you already. See you on Tuesday.

Here we are starting to build our Anderson Shelters

After a lot of hard work we produced some excellent Anderson Shelters.

Well done everyone. Your Anderson shelters are fantastic !

Primary 6 have been working very hard on Anderson Shelters this week. They have considered the design process and the different resources they needed and are now well on their way to making some fantastic shelters. This has been a great learning experience as some shelters have needed to be adapted, for various reasons, as the children have evaluated what they have done. Hopefully we will get some photos on our page next week so you can all see how the children have got on.

Good Luck Primary 6 next Friday at the Rugby Festival. The children have been working hard at TAG rugby and will take part in a festival at Musselburgh Rugby Club on Friday. We are sure they will have a great time.

Friday 10th October

Primary 6 have had another busy week learning about World War 2 and Space. They have also enjoyed TAG Rugby this week and are all looking forward to the next few sessions which will end with a tournament.

Primary 6 have also been looking at Judaism in RME and have made a Mezuzah. This term has been very busy and everyone deserves a great holiday which we are all looking forward to. I know we will all be raring to go once again when we come back. Don’t forget P.E will be with Mrs Selwood on the first Tuesday back after the October holiday. Have a lovely break Primary 6.

Tuesday 30th September

Primary 6 have been very busy learning about World War 2. We have been working on a fictional street called Balaclava Street and have a made a street scene from the 1930s. The children have made the characters and the families from the street and have also made biographies of the different family members. Our street will change as the War progresses and the effects from the war will be reflected in there. This will include adding blackouts and other unexpected events. We are still looking for any artefacts from home which could add to our display and make our topic meaningful.

We will have TAG Rugby on Monday 6th October,27th October and 3rd November so all children will need old trainers and joggers.

Friday 12th September

Primary 6 have had a very exciting week. We have started learning about World War 2 and been considering the different things we already know and what we are going to find more about. If any friends or family have any artefacts or memoribilia relating to World War 2 we would greatly appreciate if the children could bring them into school. We will take good care of them and return them at the end of the topic. Please name all your items. We are also looking for any friends or family members who would like to come in and talk to the children about their experiences during the War. We would really like the children to know what life was like during this period.

We have also started learning about the Solar System which everyone really enjoyed and are looking forward to learning a lot more about. The children have made up Mnemonics based on the Planets of the Solar System this week.

We hope everyone enjoys the Monday Holiday and we look forward to another busy week next week.

Welcome back

Primary 6 have all settled in well to their new class and classroom.

We have been busy learning about the Olympics and have been writing imaginative stories about how we would feel if we won a Gold Medal at the Olympics just like Chris Hoy.

We have also been making up our own Olympic emblems and for homework we have been set a challenge of making up our own mini Olympics.There have been lots of really original ideas as how to do this challenge. The homework should be handed in by Monday 8th September.

We are also looking forward to our new topic World War 2 and we had an excellent performance of Pack up Your Troubles by the Fun House Theatre to prepare us and give us a little bit of information about World War 2. As a class we have planned lots of exciting activities related to this topic.

We have got a very busy term ahead and we are all really looking forward to it.
