Certificates

Mr Duncan, our music teacher, divided all classes into small groups last term. This was to promote good behaviour during music lessons. The winners were the pupils from class six you can see here. Each pupil received a certificate to celebrate his or her success. Well done to them.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all our Blog reaaders. We made this Christmas Tree in our classroom. As you can see it is a 2D Tree. All the baubles were cut out and coloured very carefully. Some people chose to make dotty ribbon, some made presents for under the tree and others made candles. We were delighted with the end product.

Poetry Session

On December 13th we had a visit from the poet, Jen Hadfield, who lives in Shetland. We read a few Scottish poems together and looked at pictures of wild life in Orkney. At the end, we had to complete a poem on a creature of our choice using a framework and all that we had been taught.

Book Week

For Book Week we paired up with P3 and P3A. We all brought in suitable books and read them to the peedie ones. Everyone enjoed this. You can see some of us at work in these 5 pictures.

Children in Need

Children in need took place on Friday 16th November. The school raised over £600! Here is P6 all dressed up in bedtime clothes and spotty garments.

Fold Mountains

As part of our work on mountains, we carried out the following experiment. The hands on opposite sides of the table represented two different plates of the Earth's crust colliding with one another. As you can see wrinkes form in the same way as mountains form on the earth's surface.

African Drumming Lesson

On October 30th, P6 had the rare chance to learn some African drumming skills. Everyone, including the adults, were given a drum. Gradually the patterns of drum rhythm grew more complicated but we all focused well and it sounded together. Ross Sinclair and Kasey Garriock were selected to provide a background beat and they performed very well. Towards the end of the lesson, some of us were give the chance to do African dancing whilst the rest of the class played the drums.
