We’ve made it to the last week of Term 3. It’s been a very busy time and everyone’s looking forward to a well deserved break.

Here’s what P6 have been focusing on this week.

In Literacy, for our spelling we were focusing on words linked with the Easter story. We used talking and listening skills to learn more about Easter practices and traditions. Our reading into writing this week was predicting the next part of our class novel and writing in the style of the author. We practised our handwriting skills with recipes and an Easter poem.

For Numeracy we continued to use problem solving strategies. We acted out the situation and used practical resources to get to the solutions. We also brushed up on our multiplication tables and played lots of interactive games.

On Wednesday we had our final skiing and tubing session. It was a chance for some of our parents and carers to come along and see the progress we’ve made. We all had a great time.

As part of Food and Fair-trade Fortnight, we planted cucumber seeds and learned all about herbs and spices. We researched where they are grown and how they can be used in cooking. Yesterday we made Tzatziki dip using cucumber, mint, Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Most of the class liked the taste and texture. We learned how to use the claw grip when using a knife to safely chop fruit and vegetables.

Today we enjoyed watching the P6 and P5’s performance of The Lion King. Later we took part in an Easter quiz in teams of four. It was great fun.

Have a great holiday and look forward to seeing you all at the start of Term 4.

Happy Easter.
