Welcome back to the final term; a busy and exciting one for Primary 6. During this term, P6 will prepare to transition into Primary 7 by applying and interviewing for Captain and Vice-Captain roles. P6 will also have the chance to apply to be a buddy to our new Primary 1\u2019s in August. P6 will get the opportunity to meet the Pastoral Care team from St Joseph\u2019s Academy. Probably the most exciting news is that rehearsals for the Summer Show have started. Alongside all these exciting events lots of learning and teaching will still be taking place as outlined below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n Reading\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n This term our focus returns to fiction texts. P6 will read and study books appropriate to their level. Focus comprehension strategies this term is understanding the difference between fact and opinion, inference and author\u2019s use of language. All pupils will complete a final fiction reading assessment at the end of the block of lessons.<\/p>\n Writing<\/u><\/p>\n The focus for the term ahead in terms of writing will be recall and recount writing. We will also look at writing using the format of a comic books. This only enriches the writing experience for the children whilst still achieving their learning outcomes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n This term P6 will focus on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. The pupils will experience level appropriate tasks and activities. The revision of multiplication tables will be encouraged across all groups. Topmarks games can help with the rigor of x-tables at home.<\/p>\n Beyond number numeracy will be taught by Mrs McCreadie and Miss Campbell. The class will learn all about angles, area, perimeter and measurement this term.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n At the start of the term P6 will complete a mini topic on Food Hygiene. P6 will explore the practices and conditions necessary to ensure food is safe for human consumption and how to prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Expressive Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n The Expressive Arts are key to any child\u2019s education, giving them opportunities to enjoy being creative and imaginative, expressing emotion, performing for different audiences, and being part of audiences for others, as well as learning key skills in Music, Art and Design, Dance and Drama. Our Summer Show \u2018Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat\u2019 will incorporate all key areas of the Expressive Arts. A school show is a fantastic team-building exercise and it’s a great way for children to understand what’s possible when everyone pools their skills and weight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RME\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n P6 will also continue to work on their Pope Francis Faith Award, focussing on Piety and Wisdom.<\/p>\n The children will be looking at Mary, mother of God in the month of May. The class will also be looking at God\u2019s Loving Plan this term.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Primary 6 we promote hard work and amazing attitudes. Our reward card system allows pupils to gain reward cards for Wonderful Work, Amazing Attitude, and being a \u2018Superstar.\u2019 When the pupils gain five cards, they can choose an individual reward. They can also choose to go for a class reward once everyone reaches five reward cards; this promotes teamwork within the class.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuing support.<\/p>\n Take Care,<\/p>\n Mrs Terras and Mrs McCreadie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Term 4 P6 Class News Welcome back to the final term; a busy and exciting one for Primary 6.
