Primary 6b Class Blog Friday 3rd November

 

In maths the white group have been converting fractions, decimals and percentages.

 

The orange group have been working out the area and perimeter of compound shapes.

The yellow group have been learning about different types of triangles and the properties of triangles.

 

 

In language we have been reading new, non-fiction books.  The purple group have been reading ‘Vanishing Habitats and Species’, the green group have been reading ‘Australia’ and the red group have been reading ‘America’.  We learnt what skimming and scanning are and we have been using these techniques in our reading to answer questions.

 

 

Miss Cox was in with our class today for writing.  We wrote about walking down a Victorian street and focussed on our 5 senses as well as VCOP (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation).

 

 

In science we have been continuing our learning on magnetism. 

 

 

In P.E we have been doing games with Mr. McMillan.  We played three stage tunnel tig and 5 bat cricket.  With Mrs. McGreggor we have been continuing our basketball skills.
