P5/6 pupils have made an amazing start to Term 3!

Maths

The pupils have been learning to calculate change using the counting on strategy. They have also been learning to work within a budget which has involved giving pupils experience of using ICT equipment to shop online for groceries and other electrical items.

Literacy

Additionally, P5/6 pupils have been learning to use alliteration to improve their writing. The pupils are now confident in using this technique and were able to think of some creative alliterated ice cream flavours. Would you be willing to try Manky Macaroni flavoured ice cream? As part of our new Scotland topic, the pupils also learned the meaning of some Scottish words.

Other Curricular Areas

Continuing with our Scotland topic, the pupils’ music knowledge was put to the test as they were tasked with identifying various Scottish songs and artists. They have also been exploring the artistic style of Romero Britto  and created their very own calendars using his work for inspiration.
