Poetry Competition

There is nothing like a competition to get your teacher excited! I know what great writers we have in P6 and I am convinced that in our class we have a winner. This week's homework will be to create a poem. As it is your ONLY homework task this week, make sure it is FABULOUS! You can choose any format or style: rhyming, non-rhyming, shape, humorous, acrostic, Haiku, Limerick, whatever. However, it must be ORIGINAL (that means you made it up and didn't copy it). We will edit and word process and print them on Thursday during ICT, so make sure you have them done by Thursday morning and bring them into school. If you can write one using the theme of the Rights of the Child, I will give you some extra Dojo Points for effort and will add them to our class display, but you can choose your own theme if you want. 

I will post some examples of poems below, but remember your poem must be 100% original. 

Loch Lomond Travel Blog Article

P6 took on the challenge to to write an article for a travel blog about scotland. They used their words to recreate the scenery of Loch Lomond to encourage people to visit. Here are some examples.

During my school summer holidays I went to Loch Lomond.You can get there on a bus, a plane and a sea plane!!! I went with my family and it was beautiful and the veiw was very cool. The river was sparkling golden because the sun was shining. The baby rabbit were jumping about and were very cute. The trees were huge and so think!!! Loch lomand is very cool and I was happy of there. There was not a clowd in the sky. Come to Loch Lomond. You will love it.

Stained Glass windows

Look what we have been creating this afternoon.

Emily says "this is tricky but fun! They will look amazing on our class windows." 

Thomas's  design is simple and colourful. 

Fraser has gone for a very intricate pattern.

All working together.

Class Secretary - Catriona MacKinnon

Hi my name is Catriona and I was the class secetary this week. I had at a lot of responsibilties like take the register, answer the phone and lead prayers. This week we also started our topic on the rights of the child.  I liked being class secetary and I hope the next class secetary enjoys it too.  

RIGHTS of the CHILD

This week P6 have started our Interdisciplinary Topic on the Rights of the Child.  We have been looking at each article individually and discussing its significance and impact in our own lives.  We realise that we might take some of these rights for granted, but that in other cultures children do not have all their rights protected. 

The next part of our topic will concentrate on examining the rights of children around the world. 

Class Secretary

Each week a pupil will be chosen to be Class Secretary. They will be given many duties and responsibilities for the week and have the opportunity to write a post on the P6 blog. Look out for their weekly posts.
