Mrs Alexander and P6

It’s that nearly that time of year again 📚 World Book Day Thursday 5th March 📚. Please dress as your favourite book character. #shareastory #worldbookday #readingforlife

We’ve been researching famous people who failed as part of our building resilience. It’s interesting seeing how they turned their lives around to become the huge successes we know today!

Really pushing ourselves to our limits in our fitness circuits! We had to use our agility, balance and flexibility.

At loose parts, we had a great time working in groups to build a shop, a parkour centre, and a McDonald's drive through - I think they really show creativity!

Practicing sketching this morning - no rubbers allowed! We’ve learned the secret is holding the pencil higher than when we’re writing so the lines are really light. We’ll use these new skills later n the week for some art linked to our topic - look out for an update!

How many questions can you think of where the answer is 17? Give it a go, and see if you can beat our record. 70 questions in 5 minutes. @BroomhousePs

Another amazing opportunity for our P6 and P7 active girls at The Oriam Herriot Watt University learning gymnastics 🤸‍♀️ #activeschools #gymnastics #oriam @BroomhousePs @sportsscotland

We had such a great time, and I was very impressed with the focus and perseverance both classes showed!

We’re taking part in hour of code week in class this afternoon. Ask us about the different activities we got up to - Dance Party was my favourite!

To get us in the mood for Christmas Dinner tomorrow, we’re planning a Christmas dinner of our own. We need to keep to a budget and make sure we have enough for a family of six. We all have different ways of keeping track of what we have spent and how much money we have left.

Making great progress with our books - we’re really proud of all the hard work that’s gone into them!

Today we're beginning the final draft of our adventure stories by designing our front covers - we'll keep you updated with how the books look as we do more work in them!

Look out for invitations to our next open morning coming home this afternoon - hope to see lots of you there!

Looking forward to teaching the oldest children in the school for the week! I'm confident they're up for the responsibility.

Our Remembrance Day Service at St David’s Church this afternoon. We really appreciate so many of our families, friends and community members joining us. Some of our children also had the chance to speak to Cpt Affleck after the service and learn more about his life in the army.
