Primary 6 Literacy Debates

This term in literacy, we will be looking at our tools for talking and listening. In doing so, we will look at debating! This week we had our first mini-debates! We were given a topic and asked to choose either ‘for’ or ‘against’, then we had to prepare our argument. We are learning how important it is to be confident, respectful and knowledgeable when taking part. 

Primary 6 Maths Measurement

This week in maths we have been working on our understanding of measurement. We have been learning how to measure perimeter and we have been working on our estimation skills. We estimated the perimeter of our textbooks; our desks; our classroom; and finally the perimeter of the school grounds! Next week, we will convert the measurements we found, into different units! Sky said “It’s so good to get outside and get a real life measurement!”. Many of the children have said they will try to measure the perimeter of their home!
