P6 Week Beginning 4.10.21

Date
Posted by

Hi all, 

The class had a wonderful week learning about how we use maths in real life and riding their bikes to school. I was so impressed by how many of them still rode their bikes to school, even in the rain! Amazing!!

 P.E. is on Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed for P.E. and has a water bottle, filled with water only.

Homework will be handed out on Monday and should be handed in on Friday. This week, there will be spelling, reading and numeracy. This week, the numeracy task will be following on from our learning in class as we begin to learn about the value of digits up to 2 or 3 decimal places. Please ensure spelling words are spelt correctly and have been written in cursive.

The class have really been enjoying reading our class novel ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo, and this week they even wrote stories as if they were Michael stranded on an island. 

ZOOM assembly on Friday at 11:30am.

Thanks for all of your support, 

Miss Lauren Waller

Recent News

Last week was full of variety. Maths Week blending with Bike Week led to some super learning opportunities – including making healthy drinks on a smoothie bike, researching the first bikes made and using maths to create a unique display poster, sketching a bike and applying knowledge of negative and relational space, online games and best of all, participation in the National Sumdog Maths contest; I’m proud to say that P7 came 79th out of over 7,500 classes that signed up!

 

IT –  Midlothian Council are in the process of migrating our IT systems to Google. In a few months time, we hope that each pupil will get their own device to use ( Chromebook). Children now have an ‘@midlothian.education‘ email address and new log-in details.

We have also successfully migrated into our new Google Classroom and very soon, I’d like to share some photo albums of recent events with you there.

My new email address :

s.brunt@midlothian.education

My old ‘@mgfl.net‘ address may work for a short time too.

That’s all for now,

Thank you,

Miss Brunt
