Literacy <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The pupils in P5\/6 have been learning to identify features of a balanced argument in literacy this week. Following this, the pupils were able to explain that a balanced argument must have: an opening paragraph to explain what the argument will be about; 2 paragraphs which discuss the views for and against the argument and a concluding paragraph which includes the writer\u2019s own opinion. The pupils then used this knowledge to write their own balanced argument.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P5\/6 are continuing to learn about fractions. Throughout the week, the pupils have been learning to make 1 whole using part of a fraction. The pupils were also looking at equivalent fractions using fraction walls and number lines. As well as this, the pupils used their knowledge of data handling to investigate pupils\u2019 clothing habits in the school. They collected the data and presented it using a frequency table.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of our \u2018fast fashion\u2019 topic, the pupils used science to investigate the functions and properties of different materials used in the fashion industry. They researched fabrics such as wool, linen and elastane and then created an information poster to present their findings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pupils were also learning about a new painting style called pointillism. This week, we examined Seurats\u2019 famous painting \u2018Sunday on la Grande Jatte\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
