What another busy week in Primary 6!
Over the last couple of weeks, the Primary 6’s have been planning, writing, and illustrating their own Christmas stories for P1-3. The pupils worked collaboratively in pairs and trios. Tymek and Krystian worked together to write their story in Polish!
To help them with this task the pupils first looked at popular children’s Christmas stories to inspire them. The pupils enjoyed reading them too!
Next, they worked together to plan their stories developing a plotline, characters, and an overriding positive Christmas message.
The pupils then typed and illustrated their stories including a front cover and blurb. I am so impressed by the finished results and the pupils cannot wait for the P1-3s to enjoy their stories next week.
This week we continued with our 3D and 2D shape topic. One group learned about the properties of a circle and had plenty of practice drawing circles of different radii with a compass.
Other groups looked at tiling 2D shapes and had the opportunity to take part in lots of practical activities to build on this skill. I was impressed with their tiling creations!
As a class, the pupils looked at identifying the nets of 3D shapes. They used the 3D shapes to help them with follow up tasks.
On Friday the pupils took part in a real-life price comparison task. They had to find the prices of Christmas dinner food items in three different supermarkets. They then totaled the costs of the items in each supermarket to find out which was the cheapest. Some pupils got a shock at the price differences between supermarkets.
Next week is our final week before the Christmas holidays and we are going to be very busy with different activities to make the week special. There is no homework now until after the holidays. I was very happy with the home projects and the effort that was put into them.
Keep your eyes peeled for a VERY special Primary 6 Christmas message 🙂
Thank you to the boys and girls for the very lovely card that was sneakily left on my desk on Friday!
