P6 Christmas Party

Lovely P6 Christmas party and thank you to Mrs Walker for being Master of Ceremonies. Great fun playing the Islands game! Could you keep folding a piece of newspaper and stand still on it, even when it's really teeny? P6 came up with some very inventive moves!

Sciennes - Boroughmuir Thistle Girls' Football Fundraising

One P6 girl (Rose) and five P7 Sciennes girls (Manju, Eliza, Stella, Phoebe and Zoe) who are stalwarts of Sciennes Football Club, are hoping to travel with their other football club, Boroughmuir Thistle, to the Gothia Cup in Sweden, the world's biggest youth football tournament.

The parents of the Sciennes contingent have organised a movie night at the Dominion Cinema in early January to see Bend It Like Beckham, which seemed the most appropriate film we could find, as well as being a good fun night out.

Please come along and help us fill the cinema! 

Given that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away, you might want to consider giving Bend It Like Beckham tickets to family and friends. Or how about organising a girls' (or boys') night out with colleagues or friends? 

Tickets are only £10 (less than the normal Dominion price!) and include a glass of wine and nibbles. Please forward to friends and colleagues. Any support much appreciated!



Details of how to get tickets further down the email. Hope to see you there!

Spaghetti Tower Challenge

In class we have been learning about 3D shapes.  As part of this work, we thought about 3D shapes that are used in buildings and create strong structures.  We then worked in groups on a challenge where we had to build strong, tall structures.  We all managed to build strong, free standing structures.









Reeboks

Last week, all of the Primary 6 pupils were learning a bit about genetics.  We all worked on an activity where we created a baby Reebop, based on genetic information we had randomly selected from each parent.
