We’ve had a busy few weeks in P6/7. We have been continuing to read more of our class novel ‘Holes’.  We have also been learning about past, present and future tense in grammar.
In numeracy we have been revising our addition and subtraction strategies. We loved having some of the family members in to join us & take part in some of our numeracy activities on Wednesday morning.
Some of our class have been taking it in turns to lead our PE sessions this term, as we continue to develop our football skills. They have set up some fabulous drills & games for us try.

This week we started reading our new novel study called ‘Holes’. We were learning to use the cover of the book to complete our prior knowledge about the book. We have been learning to use more ambitious vocabulary in our writing especially when describing characters.

In numeracy we have been revising addition with carrying. We have been continuing to work on our times tables and we were learning about co-ordinates.

We were learning about landscape art and created our very own landscape pictures. In science we learned about chromatography and completed our own experiments.

On Wednesday we went to our new committee groups for the first meeting of the year.

Kaylie and Georgia also represented us at the Clean Green Climate Conference and have already started our action plan with the aim of achieving our Clean Green Bronze Award.

This week we were learning about descriptive vocabulary in writing and we were creating a list of words to describe Miss Trunchbull. We were learning about different spelling rules. We also read the next few chapters of ‘They Change’ and we were learning about inference.

In numeracy we were learning about place value and rounding and have been working on our times tables with Mrs Schendel. In PE we were learning about fitness and basketball.

We had Home Circles for the first time and we were learning about Article 12 and the right to express your views and be taken seriously. We also found out the new house captains for this year.

This week in maths we have been doing rounding, place value, partitioning and maths activities. In literacy we were doing prefixes, homophones and reading ‘They Change’ and we wrote a summary about what has happened so far. In Gym we have started basketball with Mrs McCaig and we were also playing some games.  We were making our class charter display and we mixed the themes so it will be a mix of football and Disney for it. Our P7s were reading their captain speeches this afternoon to see who will get captain for their house.
