Primary 6S/J have been meeting up with Mrs McBride to learn about Playground Pals. The Playground Pals have to play games and explain them to the little ones. They have to wear reflective jackets that say Playground Pals on the back and front. This is all part of the Bannerman New Learning Community, it also says this on the front. There are special games packs that tell us games and their rules. There will be a routine up at the school entrance telling us who it will be each day. We will start this in November.

I went to see Guys and Dolls in the Kings Theatre. It's a musical set in New York City about gamblers, their girlfriends and the Mission workers. My three favourite songs were 'Sit down you're rockin the boat', 'Luck be a lady tonight' and 'Havana'. My two favourite parts were when the two girls were fighting - they were kicking, punching and slapping each other. My other one was when Adelaide and Sarah got married. It was the best play I'd ever seen! It's the best musical ever too!

We started off talking about a picture that Renoir the artist painted and techniques he used to paint. Then we went out and got paints and paint trays then we got paint and put it in the trays. After we got everything ready we started to paint. We had to dab the paintbrush onto the paper in the different shades.
We used three colours one of your choice and black and white.
We mixed them to make different shades of the same colour.
We had to cover the page so you could not see any white.
After the paint has dried we will tear it up and make fruit pictures with it.

Yesterday P6 s/j did an experiment about insulators and conductors. We had to make a circuit with two wires and a battery and a light bulb.
We had to connect them together to make a circuit. Then we had to use three wires and two batteries and a light bulb holder and do the same.
When we connected the two wires together and the third one to the bulb the bulb lit up then when we put a staple remover between the two wires and it still light up.
When we put a rubber between the wires it didn't work, this is because that electricity only runs through conductors like metal but rubber is an insulator.
We all enjoyed doing it. Everyone made their light bulb light up.

The green group is reading The Pyramid of Doom. It is a graphic novel; this is a cartoon book with speech bubbles.
The Pyramid of Doom is a fictional adventure story.
It is about archaeologists who break into a pyramid.
The book is a fantastic story; we are really enjoying it because there are good characters. Dr Baxter is our favourite character because he runs about, saves people and is funny.
When we read the book we read it in character.

Today primary 6 S/J started to write about cities in Scotland. This was for our Scotland topic. Mr Johnston printed off information of a website called Wikipedia. Wiwipedia is a Encyclopaedia that everyone can add to. Then we were put into groups and had to find out about that city. The cities were Aberdeen, Perth, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness. Next time we have to write on a A3 piece of paper. When we are finshed each group has to tell the rest of the class about the city that they learned about.

On Saturday I went to too a place in Fife to see the Leuchars air show. There were lots of different kinds of planes and helicopters doing lots of stunts and making a lot of noise. I went for a walk with my Mum to see if there was anything that I wanted. When we were coming back we saw lots of teddies with a plane called the Red Arrow which done the most amazing stunts. When we got back I got lunch I had a banana. After I had finished my lunch I stood beside my Mum to see the planes go past. Before we went home we waited for the Red Arrow crew came to the crew room. The crew room is where you can ask questions or get something signed. We took about ten minutes to get my teddy signed by all the crew. Then we went to see the last few planes fly past.

Today we had assembly. We were told who had won the golden otter. The class that has the best attendance will win the golden otter. This time it was a tie between primary 1m and primary 6S/J. So they made another golden otter so that it would be fair.
Every week when we have an assembly at least two people from every class gets a star, the people in our class were Melissa and Troy, Melissa got her star for neat handwriting in all her work. Troy got his star for working well in all areas. You can see a golden otter and a bank otter and a cuddely otter that kris brought in.

On Wednesday primary six were doing electricity. We made a circuit. Kris was the lamp, Melissa was the switch, and Stephen was the battery. We used a rope as the wire. When we moved the rope Kris’ hands started to burn. We learned that if we want electricity we need a circuit. The electricity generates heat, which makes a light bulb shine.

P7s has been doing science first we looked at solids we used a plastic ruler, plastic cup, wood top of the desk, metal leg of the chair, scissors, pen and a paint tray. We had to figure out a definition for the solids.
Then we looked at liquids. We used test tubes, green tray, cup, plastic tub and measuring cup.
We found out liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape and a solid has a fixed shape and a fixed volume.

Primary 6 were all doing PCM2 today it was about synonyms we had to look at the word that was underlined and change it to a better word that means the same. Synonyms mean a group of words that all have the same meaning.The Stars and the Suns were doing reading. The Suns reading book is The Pyramid Of Doom and the stars reading book is Very Best Friend. We were also learning about metaphors and similes. A metaphor is something that is true about something. A simile is something that is like something but it is not.
