Hello and welcome to our primary 6 blog! It’s been a very busy few weeks back so I thought I’d share a little of what we’ve been up to…

Last week we took part in a maths challenge with our groups. We worked on our speed and accuracy of mental and written calculations. We were adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and solving multi-step problems.

On Friday mornings  we learn through play! We consolidate and extend our learning in numeracy and literacy by playing and collaborating with our peers.

We used the chromebooks for writing and created a Google Slides all about us.

We investigated line and shape to create some starburst art, and we thought about how the SHANARRI indicators are met while we are in school.

We created a class charter, while learning about the rights of the child.

This week we practised our dribbling and passing skills while playing hockey in P.E.

On Thursday we visited the kitchen for our first Mearns Masters session. The children revised chopping techniques and considered presentation of their dishes. We are focusing on Italian food and flavours this session and we made delicious bruschetta and garlic bread!

Today we wrote about our favourite day and learned the features of a recount. Some people chose to write theirs and other chose to use the chromebooks.

We’ve had another great and successful week in P6 and look forward to next week already!
