Hello everyone! We have had a fantastic first week back in Primary 6-7. The children are all keen to get stuck into their learning and are happy to be in the classroom and back to some sort of routine and a sense of normality (me too!).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Literacy \u2013 <\/p>\n Numeracy \u2013 Other curricular areas – <\/strong> Health and Wellbeing \u2013 This week, we are learning about what the word Ethos means to us and what kind of Ethos we want for our classroom. The children were telling me what they would like to hear, feel and see within our classroom.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t done so already, please remember to bring back to school your novel and your jotters<\/u>.<\/p>\n
\nP6-7 have watched the 3rd<\/sup> episode of David Attenborough\u2019s \u2018A Perfect Planet\u2019 which was all about the weather across the globe and how animals have come to rely on the weather patterns. They are learning to write a documentary review and are using their own notes they took while watching the programme to do this! We discovered keeping up with writing notes and watching something for information can be a bit tricky \u2013 but we managed!
\nWe are still working our way through our class novel, \u2018Wonder\u2019 and now we are back together, we are going back through the pages we have read to deepen our understanding of the novel and its themes.<\/p>\n
\nThe children have been working on Measure this week. We are converting between different units of measure and using these to estimate and measure different objects. We will be moving on to measuring mass and capacity in the coming weeks of this term.<\/p>\n
\nPE \u2013 We have started a block of hockey lessons where so far; the children have been learning to hold a hockey stick properly (to keep each other safe!) demonstrate a push pass and stopping the ball with the stick. We will be learning to move with the ball, get past other players, tackle, shoot and then playing small games of hockey.<\/p>\n
