Literacy

In literacy this week, the pupils investigated working conditions for people who make our clothes in developing countries. They then used this research to write a detailed news report on a real-life incident in which a garment factory, in Bangladesh, collapsed due to poor safety regulations. The pupils also reviewed some lovely picture books that had been donated to the school. Following this, the pupils then decided which books could be added to our class library. 

Maths

In maths this week, the pupils in P5/6 have been learning to identify the order of operations. Through this, the pupils have challenged themselves to complete complex calculations which include brackets, order, multiplication & division, and addition & subtraction.

The pupils in P5/6 have had a very busy start to term 4!

The pupils have been exploring the concept of probability this week by participating in various practical activities. They were also able to calculate the probability of events using fractions.

The pupils have also started their new term 4 topic where they will learn about what ‘fast fashion’ is and why we have this industry. By checking the labels on their clothes, the pupils found that many of the items of clothing they owned were made in countries outside of the UK. Using an atlas, the pupils researched where their clothes were made and created information posters to inform others about these countries.
