Primary 6V ePortfolios
Mar 28th, 2012 by Mrs V
Today, Primary 6V have been adding items to the ePortfolio categories on their individual blogs and we’ll put links to some of them in this post.
We’ve been finding it hard to find the time to add items to our ePortfolios but recently we came up with the idea of making ‘one minute movies’ to share our learning. Abbie was the first one to ask for the class Flip camera so that she could add something.
Here it is – what do you think?
Well done, Abbie!
Abbie also wrote about the math game she made with her group today and she was keen to add that to the ePortfolio section. Everyone had to devise a math game for the others others in class to play (and learn from). The thing that made it more exciting was that it had to be a game that could be played outdoors.
Primary 6V began to plan their games on paper…..and, as the weather was unseasonably warm, we decided to take the planning sheets outside and see if we could make them ‘for real’. The games were a great success (making them and playing them!) The photo in Abbie’s post shows the group demonstrating how to play their game to the others in the class. It was a great game and everyone enjoyed having a ‘go’!
Have a look at what Abbie wrote about her game on her ePortfolio. Just click HERE to read her post.
Others in class are getting the hang of updating their ePortfolios and sharing their successes inside and outside of school. Here are links to the ePortfolio sections of some of their blogs:
-
Peter has added a few posts to his ‘Outside School Achievements’ category. He’s obviously really enjoying learning how to play his drums – and those reef knots he learns to tie in Cubs are sure to come in very handy in the future! Read about his ‘Outside School Achievements’ HERE
-
Eve, on the other hand, is very proud of an achievement inside school – her story is about an alien called Bob. Maybe she’ll add some of it to her ePortfolio so that we can all read it
It sounds great! Eve’s post is HERE -
Wouldn’t it be great to see Iona’s picture on her blog? I’m sure it’s just as awesome as her description
Read about it HERE -
Chloe’s also really proud of her art work – but hers is an ‘Inside School Achievement’ she learned from Natasha. You can see the picture she’s proud of on her blog by clicking HERE
There are lots more examples of ePortfolio posts on the Primary 6V individual blogs and we’ll be adding more on here soon
A Farewell To Rachael
Mar 21st, 2012 by Mrs V
We were all very sad today because Rachael is moving house and she is going to a new school tomorrow. This afternoon we gave her a lovely card so that she can think of us when she’s in her new class.
We all sat in a circle at the end of the day and, as usual, we nominated people in the class who deserve a Class Dojo point. It was really funny to watch the look on Rachael’s face because we had planned to keep on nominating her until she reached 100 points! Once she had her 100 points, she was able to spend them on lots of goodies from our class Treasure Box
We hope that Rachael keeps in touch with us by posting all about her new school on her blog. She’s been a great classmate to everyone and we’re all sure that she’ll meet loads of new friends really soon. You can visit Rachael’s blog by clicking HERE.
Before she left, Abbie had an idea to make her a tribute and she asked some friends to help then everyone in the class said something nice about Rachael. It was lovely. Have a look at it below.
Goodbye

Photo a Day Z – Zoo …..Pandas in Edinburgh
Mar 19th, 2012 by Mrs V
This is a panda pictures from Hong Kong in 2009 .
It is called On On and his friend’s called guy guy.
I forgot how to spell the two names.
You maybe know all pandas a go in to die.
Maybe this year all pandas in China are going to die because people are hunting them.
Two Pandas known as Tian Tian and Yang Guang, or ‘Sweetie’ and ‘Sunshine’ arrived in Edinburgh Zoo just after lunchtime on Sunday 4th December 2011.
We hope that they will have a baby and there will be more pandas in the world.
By Nigel C – by the way, I am from Hong Kong but I live in Scotland now.

Photo a Day W – The Falkirk Wheel
Mar 11th, 2012 by Mrs V
The Falkirk Wheel connects the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal.
Until 1933 the two canals were linked by a set of 11 locks.
Today, canal boats on the Forth and Clyde Canal are lifted up 35m (115ft) to the Union Canal.
Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the Falkirk Wheel on 24 May 2002 during her Golden Jubilee celebrations.
It cost £17.5m to create it!
It’s now one of Scotland’s top tourist destinations.

Photo a Day- U – Heilanman’s Umbrella
Mar 1st, 2012 by Mrs V
The Heilanman’s umbrella is a famous land mark in the center of Glasgow.
It is the local nickname for the glass walled railway bridge which carries the platforms of Glasgow central station across argyle street .
With the city’s stormy weather and the meeting of the Highlanders it came to be known as the Hielanman’s Umbrella.
In 1998 the bridge was refurbished by rail track. We got this picture from here

Photo a Day T – The Thistle
Jan 23rd, 2012 by Mrs V
The Thistle
is a Scottish flower and if you touch it you may get a rash from the extremely spiky bits. The Thistle has been a Scottish flower for several years, also it has hair on the top that is really furry and soft.
It also has a stem that can grow really long.
If you go to certain fields you see lots of Thistles.
Now we will tell you the story about the Thistle.
The Vikings were going to attack the Scottish but the Thistle saved the Scottish.
Now I will tell you the full story.
It all started at Stirling Castle . The guards were sleeping and there was a hole bunch of Thistles but they did not know what they were then. The Vikings were not wearing shoes and they started to walk across the Thistles to get to the gate , and because they weren’t wearing shoes the Thistles jagged them with their spikes and because it was so sore they screamed and woke up the guards and then the guards went and started to attack the Vikings.
That is why the Scots picked the Thistles .

Photo a Day S – Scottish Poet
Jan 16th, 2012 by Mrs V
Our famous Scottish poet is Robert Burns.
Robert burns wrote many famous Scottish poems like To a Mouse and A Man’s a Man For a’ That . Rachael brought this book in which has all his poems and songs.
Every January we celebrate the life of Robert Burns by learning Scottish poems. We have a competition with Carron Primary. In Primary six and seven it needs to be a Burns poem. Today we listened to some people on a website who read his poems.
We got to choose two of his poems to take home. Last year Carron Primary won, but we’ll try to win this time!
We’ll let you know.

Our Treasure Trail Box
In our class we have a point system. Every time a pupil gets 20 points, they get a reward out of our treasure box. The box was empty but thankfully lots of very kind shops and the library gave us some items for it. For example the Co-op , Spar (Aleena’s mum’s shop) Tesco and the Library gave us some great items like pencils, pens, rubbers, rulers and lots more! Also Melissa , Chloe both gave things in. The whole class are writing letters to the shops to say thank you. The library gave us books so we decided that they are worth 40 points. Most people have got to the 20 but others are still trying.
Here are some pics of it
This is the box that louise brought in Thank you louise.
The library gave us books and pencils. Thank you Larbert Library . :)

Mary Queen Of Scots was born on the 8TH of December 1542 . She was also known as Mary Stuart or Mary 1st of Scotland . We found this picture on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3450316006/

Photo A Day – P for The Pineapple
Dec 14th, 2011 by Mrs V
The Dunmore Pineapple is in Dunmore Park. It is said to be the “most bizarre building in Scotland”.
It is a summer house built in 1761. The prickly pineapple is 45 feet high.
There are 16 acres of gardens with an orchard and it has been restored by the National Trust for Scotland.
It can be rented as a holiday home!
Some people in our class have been there. We asked them what it was like and they all liked it.
Owen L has been inside it. He was there with his mum and the rest of his family. He said that underneath it there are two sets of stairs but that’s all he remembers.
This is a picture of it. We didn’t take this picture. We got it from flickr. Here’s where we got it from

Photo a day O for Oats
Nov 29th, 2011 by Mrs V
Oats are something that grows from the ground.
In Scotland, oats are made in to porridge and we eat it for breakfast. I don’t eat it but my Little brother does. My mum pours the porridge in a bowl and then she pours some milk in then she puts it in the microwave.
Today was asked everyone in the class if they liked porridge but only some did so we done a survey to see what they like in their porridge. Most people liked milk and sugar. One girl’s sister likes salt and the rest like yogurt. But Mrs V likes honey.

By Rachael L
Hello this is two origami Nessie models. Nigel made them out of paper.
Modern interest in Nessie started in July 22, 1933 when George Spicer and his wife saw ‘a strange form of animal’ cross the road in front of their car.
Nigel will tell you how he made the Nessie model.
Hi I am Nigel. Our teacher found how to make an Origami Nessie on the internet. She told me to try and make it. I used paper, scissors and pencils. Here is a video showing how it was done.

Aleena: “Is the playground big?”
Maryam : “Yes! It is pretty big! There’s a lot of areas where you can go!”

Maryam: “I don’t really like maths. But it is quite good! You may find it fun ”
Question 6)
Aleena: “Are the classrooms big?”

Question 7)
Ross: “How big is your P.E hall?”
Maryam: “There are 4 P.E halls! They are all pretty big. They also have a table tennis room and a swimming pool area.”
Question 8 )
Aleena: “How long is playtime?”
Maryam : “Break time is for around 11-15 minutes i think! Lunch is around 45 minutes”
Question 9)
Ross: “Was it scary the first time you went to high school?”
Maryam: “It was pretty scary i have to admit. Was worried i would not get a long with a few people and get lost. But after time, i became used to the school and met a lot of lovely people!”
Question 10)
Aleena: “Is Art fun?”
Maryam: “I had Art in First Year. I enjoyed the writing bit in Art, but i HATED drawing as I am the worst artist in the world haha! But you may enjoy it! Everyone likes different things!”
We enjoyed having Maryam here this week! Thankyou for answering questions!
A little message from Maryam!
“I really enjoyed working at Carronshore Primary School. It was fantastic seeing everyone all over again. I enjoyed meeting and helping all the pupils here and i think i will really miss it… all over again! I hope Primary 6V have a great 2 years at Carronshore Primary School and i hope to see you guys soon in the near future at Larbert High School! Good luck
