Thank you for a very successful and productive first term P6S. I hope you all enjoy a well-earned break – I look forward to hearing all of your stories when you come back. We have another great term ahead of us full of exciting things like; curling, paired science, a new topic and much more.

Have a lovely holiday.

Miss Sharp

This week we finished our chapter 5 in our writing jotters for our books! They’ll be ready soon! We assessed our writing work in that time too.

One reading group presented a play to the rest of the class this week. It was called The Alien.

We also did boxercise, it’s short but very tiring!!!

We did a really big IDL lesson (topic). We learned about the culture of china including, dragon building, tai chi, mandarin writing, pronunciation and shadow puppets. It was very fun!

We were working on our road trips, they are very interesting and very eye-catching.

We also presented an assembly about the brain and mindfulness not mindfull!!

A little note from Miss Sharp – Well done P6S! I am very proud of you for how quickly you put this together. It really shows the other teachers and me how much you have learned and remembered.

We had art with Mrs Brew where we created Zen tangles, it was very fun and very artistic. We had P.E. with Miss Mair and we did hockey, we did played matches it was very fun!

We were also getting to know the P1 groups we will be teaching science to next term. Ask us about what worked well and what we learned about how to teach and plan an activity.

Problem solving

In problem solving we solved lots of problems while playing fun games, including ice cubes, A pack of cards with problems on them, Super Math Spy and Bellz (that is spelled correctly by the way).

Road trip

In Road Trip we are continuing to work on our tour guide posters and we are starting to create scripts to perform to the class. We have to include entertainment, history, culture and the traditional food.

Writing

In writing we wrote our chapter 4 for our stories. In this chapter we did the resolution and things got a little calmer in our stories. All of our stories are looking great!

Reading

In reading we are summarising what we have just read and we do some other things to do with our task like PCMs or making leaflets or picking out good examples of VCOP.

VCOP

In VCOP we learned how to correctly use commas to add extra detail like. Pink zebra crossing can be changed to pink zebra, crossing!

BRIDGE BULDING

In bridge building we learned about suspension bridges and how they are made we even got to make our own mini suspension bridge!
