Welcome to P6/7 class page

P6/7 have been busy with supporting the Community Garden at Newlands as part of our John Muir award. We have been preparing the ground of wild flowers and then sowing the seeds. We have added materials to the bug hotel and planted some succulent plants on top. We have been busy with weeding and filling the raised beds with the right mixture of compost and sand. Today we have build pea supports and a herb garden.
A well done to the Euro Quiz competitors who almost got into the finals!

Everyone had fun making the gingerbread houses, measuring trees, having a Christmas party, having fruit in ERIC/Soft Start and doing the Santa walk.

Our fist full week we worked hard on our writing task; write any story with a focus on tools for writing, and a maths task based on place value. We tried some base 2 conversions as well. Mrs Lawson started a HWB programme called Chimp and it is all about discussing feelings . We also walked on Wednesday to the far end of our woodland and made pictures for the cottage garden show competition using our Ipads.
