TERM 3 \u2013 APRIL TO JUNE OVERVIEW\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span>elcome back to our summer term. I was delighted to see all the Primary 6 back at school safe and well. I can\u2019t believe we are on the countdown to summer\u00a0<\/span>already<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>It was lovely speaking to the parents and carers of P<\/span>rimary\u00a0<\/span>6 during the pupil progress\u00a0<\/span>phone calls<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>I was delighted in the engagement of P<\/span>rimary\u00a0<\/span>6 during the<\/span>\u00a0last<\/span>\u00a0period of online learning.\u00a0<\/span>Below is an overview of the teaching and learning for\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0final term<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Literacy\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We will be using the Bug Club core readers to aid and build on our active comprehension skills. Pupils will focus on a chapter each week and work on tasks around the chapters they have read. Pupils will also work on specific skills such as\u00a0<\/span>notetaking,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>differentiating between fact and opinion, and for some reading groups using quotes to justify<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>comprehension answers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This term Primary 6 will focus on\u00a0<\/span>Persuasive<\/span>\u00a0writing and\u00a0<\/span>creating\u00a0<\/span>persuasion\u00a0<\/span>texts\u00a0<\/span>with a one-sided argument.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>We will focus on a different aspect of grammar\/punctuation each week. Our writing day will be on Thursday<\/span>. However, this term we won\u2019t be writing every week. Some weeks we will be looking at model persuasion texts and focussing on the structure and content to\u00a0<\/span>support the creation<\/span> of our own\u00a0<\/span>persuasion texts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spelling\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The spelling groups will continue to experience the Active Literacy spelling program, this will introduce common words and focus phonemes pertinent to their stage. The pupils will revise the Active Spelling strategies throughout\u00a0<\/span>the term.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Numeracy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This term we will be focusing on\u00a0<\/span>function machines, complex patterns of numbers, percentage<\/span>s,<\/span> decimals, and fractions<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Some groups will explore BODMAS.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Our Beyond Number topics are Information Handling and Position and Movement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The pupils will experience activities at their stage and level. The revision of multiplication tables will be encouraged across all groups.\u00a0<\/span>Sumdog\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Topmarks<\/span>\u00a0games can help with the rigor of x-tables at home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to Mrs McGowan (P5) for organising a fantastic range of activities for Health Week.

The world of work topic will provide P6 with the op<\/span>portunity to think about their\u00a0<\/span>current\u00a0<\/span>skills and what type of career they might like to have in the future. Through this topic, we will explore creating CV\u2019s and filling in application forms which links in nicely with <\/span>P1 B<\/span>uddying<\/span>\u00a0and House Captain<\/span>\u00a0application<\/span>s.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
