You have been an absolute pleasure to teach and Mrs Cameron and I wish you all the very best for your final year of Primary 7. Keep being the best you can be and we hope you enjoy a wonderful summer break. Here are a few snapshots of the fun we had the yesterday with our STEM structures!

Best wishes,

Summer Picnic

Well done P6A for being a super support to your buddies and all the younger children at this week's picnic. It was a huge success and the rain managed to stay off!

Sports Day

Well done P6A for a terrific Sports Day! The standard of behaviour was excellent and your efforts, enthusiasm, teamwork and sportsmanship were impressive. We hope that you recognise this and feel proud of your participation on the day. Here are a few snapshots from the day. Well done. 

Bike Ability

We had a great time at Bike Ability yesterday.

Primary 6A UHI STEM trip

Well done P6A for a fantastic educational trip to the UHI.

Applying their knowledge in exciting and practical ways, the children learned all about the respiratory, lymphatic and digestive systems. After exploring and investigating these, they began to consider various careers in the Health Science Sector. Here are some photos of them in action!

26/01/24 - Burns Celebrations

This week Primary 6 have been taking part in some Scottish based learning to celebrate Burn's Day!

We looked at a Burns poem called "Willie Wastle" which was written in Scots language. We spent time translating the poem into English to better understand the story it was telling (we soon found out it was quite an unflattering poem about Willie Wastles wife). 

We looked at other Scots words throughout the week and chose our favourites to use in our pop art pieces to display alongside our collaborative Robert Burns art.

12/12/23 - Primary 6 Christmas Party

Yesterday Primary 6 had there Christmas party. It was great to see everyone dressed up in their party clothes ready to celebrate the festivities all together. We had a great morning of Scottish dancing, party games and lots of yummy food! Thank you to everyone who managed to contribute to our food, this was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by all. 

7/12/23 - Literacy Open Afternoon

A huge thank you to all the parent's and carers that were able to make it along to our open afternoon today. There was such as nice atmosphere in the room and the children and myself were delighted to welcome you in. 

We enjoyed activities such as book tasting, spelling games and some festive anagrams as part of our literacy themed afternoon. Thank you!

30/10/23 - My World of Work - Space Junk

Today we have Fionnadh from My World of Work in to deliver a Space Junk session. 

We learnt about what space just is and how it has build up over the years, causing issues for satellites, space craft and the Earth.

We were given robots and had to to use code to navigate around the Earth and space junk. We found it quite tricky to begin with but once we got the hang of the coding app we were experts!  

26/10/23 - Cross County Success

A huge well done to Roan, Archie, Emma and Alayna who competed in the South Highland Cross County Championships today. 

Archie and Roan took second place in the boys teams, coming home with a silver medal. Emma and Alayna did incredibly well against some tough competition in the girls' races. 

A huge well done to all involved, we are really proud of our speedy four! And a big thank you to Mrs Cuthbert for organising and attending the event, as well as Mrs Lowe from the ELC who also went along to support the P6 and P7 teams. 

01/09/23 

Another wonderful week in P6A has come to an end. This week we have been working very hard in all areas of the curriculum. We have also had our first homework set on Google Classroom, so just a reminder that it is due back in on Monday 4th of September. 

This week we also started our topic on WW1 by finding out about how/why the war started as well as the different sides of the war and their ally countries. 

There has also been an update for P6A this week, as Mrs Francis will be back teaching the class from Monday 4th of September. The class are all very excited to be welcoming her back.

25/08/23

Happy Friday from P6A! We have had a very busy second week back. This week in numeracy we have been learning about place value through a variety of ways, such as whole class games, small group games and some individual work. In literacy we have been doing some visualisation and building on some short descriptive sentences. 

This week we were also lucky enough to have M&M Productions in to put on a showing of Oliver Twist for us. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance. 

To add to the busy week, this afternoon we had a short assembly led by Abby from Kooth to show us a website for ages 10-18 that can provide anonymous support for any mental health issues. The main takeaway message from the assembly was 'no issue is too small'. We had a chance to have a look at the website in more detail back in class and I have attached some parental information packs in the Google Classroom. 

Just a reminder that our PE days are on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. We have also agreed on homework for this year to be handed out on a Tuesday and handed back in on a Monday (starting next week). 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
