Hurlford Primary School and Early Childhood Centre

What a quick week after the long weekend and another Monday holiday to look forward to.

This week in P6 we have been pushing ahead with our Planets and Space topic. We have learned how the tilt of the Earth causes the seasons to change as the planet orbits the sun. We also looked at the phases of moon and made moon spinners to help us remember the names and order of the phases. Next week we will find out about solar and lunar eclipses.

In Literacy, we used our higher order thinking skills to help us understand the next couple of chapters in our class novel. We also predicted the plot and wrote a character speech as the Demon Headmaster. Our spelling focus was Space topic vocabulary and for listening and talking, we kept up to date with current affairs on Newsround.

This week in Numeracy, we revised key learning for fractions, decimals and percentages. Then we completed an assessment before moving on to our next unit which is Patterns and Sequences.

On Thursday we practised more events for the Sports Championship including the standing high jump and the basketball shoot. After lunch we had our football training session. Everyone put in 100% effort.

Today we are taking part in some activities to mark the up and coming Coronation of Charles lll. These include invitation writing, collage art and reading for research. We’ll continue with more coronation activities on Tuesday.

Enjoy the long weekend.
