Maths:
The Star Lords have been learning how to calculate the perimeter of shapes. We have also learned how to calculate the area of squares and rectangles using the formula A=lxb. We have found this a little bit tricky and will need a some more practice next week.
The Potion Masters have been learning about calanders, what they look like and how we use them. We have even started making our own! We have had a good week in maths this week.
The Dragon Mages have been learning about time. We reminded ourselves how to tell o’clock and half past times. We have also been practising our problem solving skills with Miss Shaw. We are not allowed to write out a calculation and we have to find a different way to work them out. We are really enjoying the challenge.
During language we analysed scary stories and looked for interesting words to use in our own writing. We found that scary stories include character’s thoughts and feelings and use a variety of adjectives. We will need to remember to include this in our own stories next week.
We also began to read with Primary 7. We had to read to each other and then we were to complete different activities to show our understanding. Some of our favourite activities were story tig, drawing our favourite character, drawing the setting and making questions for each other to answer. We also found some new and interesting words in these books too!
In art we have been practising our painting skills. We had to use different shades of the same colour to make our background. We then added a fence in the foreground and a tree and a house in the middle ground. We have really enjoyed creating our pictures and hope you are looking forward to seeing them on parents night!
