w/c 27th November, reported by Ruby

This week we have been busy with our spelling work!

We have been learning about coordinates in Maths and they even crept into Science!  We played Battleships to practise and in Science, we used dimple trays to create a picture by following the coordinate instructions.  We made a beautiful butterfly.

We did some research about weapons and armour from the Scottish Wars of Independence and followed this up with a Kahoot Quiz.  We have each selected a different weapon and we are ready to make them today!

In PE, we had fun going over the Riverside Jig and Military Two Step and this week we learned The Dashing White Sargent.

On Monday, we welcomed a new Primary 7 pupil to our class – welcome Morgan!

We visited Pitcairn Lodge as part of our intergenerational group.  We played games with the residents such as boules, table tennis, air hockey, dominoes and jigsaws.

This week we have been creating portraits of Robert the Bruce and learning about his key role in the Scottish Wars of Independence.  We learned a lot about this on our class trip last week too!

On Thursday afternoon we learned two Scottish Dances as a whole school – The Riverside Jig and the Military Two Step.

On Monday we welcomed a new pupil to our P7 group – welcome to Skene Ethan.

As part of our topic work, we created our own Coat of Arms.  We had to include features which shared our personality.  Different animals represented different things e.g. deer = intelligence, dog = loyalty.  We had to create a moto to go with it.

In Science, we explored the life cycle of a mosquito and examined each stage under the microscope.

On Thursday welcomed another new P7 pupil for a visit.  She joined us for some collaborative art – we look forward to her joining us on 20th March. For this task we explored colour and learned what the terms primary colours, secondary, tertiary, hue, analogous and opposite colours meant in relation to the colour wheel.

P567 are enjoying learning about natural disasters and they have been keeping me on my toes with some tricky questions!

I’d love to take them on a school trip to see a real volcano however the risk assessment would be horrendous. Our amazing artwork will be on display soon.  I’m having a little bit of bother uploading the photographs : (

Class Trip to the Gordon Highlanders Museum and the street tour of Aberdeen

Yesterday, P567 had a fantastic time at the Gordon Highlanders Museum. They tried on soldier’s uniforms, handled artefacts from World War II as well as learning about life as a Gordon Highlander. The museum is well worth a visit. The highlight of the day was visiting an Anderson shelter in Aberdeen. As one child said, “I will never forget this!” Thank you to the parent forum for agreeing to fund the trip and Mrs Noble and Mrs Milne for their help and photography skills. And of course the children for being wee !

Week commencing Monday 1st October

FAO Miss Law’s P5/6/7 Parents

Please remind the children to bring some cosy clothes in a bag for the walk tomorrow afternoon and to remember their packed lunch. The weather forecast looks like it may just stay dry but please ensure your child is prepared just in case.

Sadly we are still waiting for some permission slips. We have chased for these and without them the child cannot attend. Please ensure it is with them tomorrow morning otherwise they will remain at school with P4/5 – there will not be time for us to chase again in the morning.

Thank you.

Week commencing Monday 27th August
