This week we learned about using alliteration and applied this learning to our writing. The children did well to make their writing more interesting using figurative language.

To create our script for the Christmas Carol Concert, we made a storyboard showing the Christmas Story. We have also written imaginative Christmas stories using story starters – the children had to continue writing in the style the way the author had started the story; this was very effective!

Last week in maths, some of the children in the class taught the other pupils how to do long multiplication – feedback from the children shows they enjoyed being taught by their peers!

We have now completed our Money topic in maths, where we learned about adding, subtraction, multiplying and dividing money values, profit and loss, credit and debit cards, and how money can affect our feelings.

 

A few weeks ago, we had a visit from a local police officer to talk about online safety and bullying. This theme has continued in our Health and Wellbeing discussions, and we are continuing to work on how we interact with our peers.

This week we made Christmas trees with baubles showing what we are grateful for.

With Miss Davie, the P6/7 have been learning to play Deck The Halls on the xylophone. We have been practising for our Christmas Carol Concert, and we hope to see lots of you there!

In our topic, we have been researching the importance of water conservation, and we made posters to encourage others to save water. The children focused on using persuasive language to create an eye-catching poster. Next in our topic, we will carry out some simple chemical reactions.
