P5/6 has been very busy this term

Mathematics: In maths p5/6 have been learning about how to change mixed numbers to   improper fractions and back again with Mrs Clanachan. With Mrs Sloan they have been learning the formal written method.

Literacy: In literacy p5/6 were learning to write a recount so they wrote a recount about the blitz.  Also p5/6 did persuasive writing and debates. The debates were about  whether every household should have a pet and should you be gaming if you’re under the age of 16?

French: In French p5/6 has been learning all about their body for example: hair, how tall and eye colour. They were also learning the alphabet in French.

IDL:  In IDL p5/6 were learning all about WW2. They learned all about the evacuees to the blitz and the Anderson shelters to the black outs then p5/6 moved on from WW2 and moved to forces which are air resistance, gravity, friction and magnetism.

Art: In art p5/6 have been linking it to their topic which is forces so they built a bridge with card and dictionaries. They got little weights to see how long the bridge would last.

Quit your way talk: p5/6  got a talk from Lisa who works with ‘Quit your way’ which can help people to stop smoking. A couple of people got to experiment with all of the chemicals that are in the drug  which is really harmful for your body.
