Hello everyone! I am sure you are just as glad as me, that all going well the children will be back in the classroom on the 15th.
Literacy
P6-7 have been watching David Attenborough’s ‘A Perfect Planet’ and practicing taking notes. Their end goal is writing a review on the programme by following a specific framework and acting on feedback. Hopefully, the final programme and review will be done face to face!!
We are still working our way through our class novel, ‘Wonder’ and the children have enjoyed our Teams meetings where we can discuss it in further detail. The themes of kindness and resilience that run through the novel have provided us with lots to talk about and work on! This also allowed the children to do some of their own research into ‘John Merrick’ who is more commonly known as the Elephant Man.
Numeracy
The children have been working on Money calculations this week and last week. They have been working out profit and loss, APR and working out the best deals for buying things! They are looking at credit and debit cards and bank accounts too, to help them apply their knowledge to real life contexts.
Other curricular areas
Once again, we have our grid full of other curricular areas for the children to choose from. There is a mixture of activities such as food technology, health and wellbeing, PE, Art and Science.
We are still working on our topic for this term which is Light and Sound. The children have carried out their own research at home and hopefully we will be able to do some more practical experiments once we are back at school.
I am so looking forward to seeing you all again! Please remember to bring back to school your novel and your jotters.
As always, if I can do anything more to help or you need anything from me, please do not hesitate to email me on jodi.riley@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or contact me via Google Classroom.
Stay safe, Miss Riley.
