During Term 1 we have been busy in P6\/7.\u00a0 We have been focussing on Maths, Literacy, Digital Literacy and Health and Well Being.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Maths we have been learning about decimals.\u00a0 We have been looking at the place value of decimals, ordering, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them.\u00a0 The week beginning the 28th<\/sup> of September was Maths Week Scotland 2020.\u00a0 Each day we looked at a challenge set by the Depute First Minister of Scotland, we completed tasks from the Maths Week Scotland website, we solved a Cryptography clue and we watched and discussed various women who use maths in their jobs. \u00a0Everyday we do mental maths to warm our brains up for the maths lesson.\u00a0 We read the weekly issue of the Daily Rigour.\u00a0 It creates maths problems based on current news stories.\u00a0 We also follow a mental maths rotation.\u00a0 In the mental maths rotation one group completes a mental agility booklet page, one group discusses mental maths strategies with the teacher and the third group answer questions on Sumdog.<\/p>\n

In Literacy we have continued reading Oranges in No Man\u2019s Land.\u00a0 We have completed a word finder task using the book and have created literal, inferential and evaluative questions based on the text.\u00a0 A partner then had to answer the questions we had created.\u00a0 We created a mind map based on a news article and then used the mind map to write a summary of the article we had chosen.\u00a0 In writing we have focussed on writing our own character and setting descriptions.\u00a0 We are going to use these in a creative story. \u00a0The week beginning the 28th<\/sup> of September was the Reading is Magic Festival.\u00a0 We watched various videos and listened to different authors.\u00a0 We created our own cartoon portraits and were encouraged to be more creative by Cressida Cowell, the Waterstones Children\u2019s Laureate. We took part in a Big Draw contest between two illustrators.<\/p>\n

In Digital Literacy we have been using the My World of Work website.\u00a0 We have been up-levelling our writing onto a word document and recording our learning.\u00a0 We are using Microsoft Teams and our Glow email to access and complete our homework.\u00a0 We have looked at how to stay safe online.<\/p>\n

We have been creating friendship board games with Mrs Woods as part of Health and Well Being.\u00a0 We have designed and created them and are hoping the P2 class will have a go at playing them.\u00a0 During our work on friendships we have discussed different scenarios involving issues which can occur in friendships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
