Hello P6!
It’s Friday again, what a quick week! We’re rounding off our busy week with some Children In Need activities in the classroom. I know lots of pupils have decided to wear pyjamas to school to help raise money for this cause – your £1 donations will be greatly appreciated.
This week in maths, we have been learning how to calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular shapes. We enjoyed using measuring tapes and rulers to find the perimeters of surfaces in the classroom. Next week we will be taking our learning outdoors and finding perimeters in the playground. Our spelling focus this week is words with the prefixes tele, trans, kilo and fore.
Green Group: transatlantic transformation television foreground foremost kilogram kilometre
Blue Group: transaction transform telephone forecast foresee kilogram kilometre
Red Group: transport telescope forehead forename kilogram kilometre
We have also finished off our science topic with an end of topic assessment. Some of us found it quite tricky! Well done to Noah, Katie-Leigh, Taylor and Reece for achieveing super scores! We will be starting our new topic, The Victorians, next week.
HOME CHALLENGE:
- Write out the 6x table and the dividing by 6 table
- Go to the Topmarks website and play Hit The Button at least three times.
- Have a think about our new topic – The Victorians. What do you already know? What would you like to find out? What activities would you like to do? Send me your thoughts and ideas in an email on Glow to avril.wilson@eastayrshire.org.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.
Mrs W
