Our class are so lucky to be involved in such an amazing programme - Roots of empathy. It was Baby Ralph and mummy Victoria’s 4th visit to our class and we just can’t believe how much he has changed.  Ralph is such a happy baby and he just loved when we talked and sang to him!  We noticed so many changes in Ralph.  He can sit for very short periods of time on his own and he can roll over.  We always give Ralph lots of encouragement and praise when he does different things for us.

We talked about the different feelings and emotions that Ralph could and could not (yet) feel.  We agreed that Ralph maybe won’t have some feelings like embarrassment but could feel jealousy and even anger.  It’s ok for baby Ralph to have all these different feelings!

We can’t wait to see baby Ralph again. Maybe then he will have some teeth!

Last week we were exploring 3D shapes.  We played lots of different games, practical activities and watched videos and learnt songs.  We made 3D shapes using cocktail sticks and mini marshmallows, played connect four (monster shape version), looked at nets of 3D shapes and then created and designed our own.  Just look at our pictures to see how much fun we had!

We all had great fun on Wednesday in our wonderful Christmas jumpers.  We had a competition where we had to design our own Christmas jumpers then we had fun with photo props and got some lovely Christmas photos.  We then danced the afternoon away during our Christmas disco.  We hope you like all our photos!

Our choir treated us to a few songs in our last assembly before end of term. They have been singing their little hearts out and spreading the Christmas cheer. They have been out and about as well, visiting Melmount Manor, Mums & Tots and the Tuesday Club. Well done, we are extremely proud. 😇😊

Today all of P6 and P7 came together to do some work with Izak 9.  We all worked in groups and solved problems based on multiples and prime numbers.  Some questions were tricky but we all helped each other. Mrs Doherty even taught Mrs McClelland a thing or two!

We have been so busy in P5/6 which is why we have been so quiet updating all our lovely parents with our news. A couple of weeks ago we had an animation workshop delivered by the nerve centre.  We learnt all about how movies are made and then we made our own movie using a green screen based on Disney’s movie ‘Small Foot’. It was all very exciting and we all had lots of fun.

Today we wore odd socks to school to raise awareness for Anti bullying week.  In assembly we watched a short video about having respect for other people.  Our odd socks were worn to represent that we are all unique, we definitely saw some really unique odd socks today.

Today we had a workshop all about identity.  We learnt all about fingerprints and how everyone's is completely different.  We discovered which type ours was in a really interesting activity.  We also tasted lots of different foods.  The tomatoes didn't go down so well!
