May the 4th be with you!
This week we had Crookfur’s Got Talent! 3 members of Primary 6B, Alexander, Yusuf and Lewis, performed a comedy show. They had the whole school laughing. The winner of the talent show was Ellis in P4.
In P.E with Mrs. McGreggor we did shot put. We had to get in to the Usain Bolt pose to throw the ball. With Mr. McMillan we have been working on our tennis skills. We had to hit targets, play soft, controlled passes to each other and rally with each other over the net.
In maths, the orange group have been working on decimals; using the four operations, rounding and problem solving. The yellow group have been using the formula v=lxbxh to find the volume of cuboids. The white group have been working with fractions and decimals and finding percentages and fractions of amounts.
In writing we have been developing our knowledge and use of persuasive language and techniques. We wrote advertisements to persuade readers to go on holiday to our chosen destination.
In our Social Studies topic we have begun researching a volcano that erupted and the effect it had on people and the landscape.
In music we were learning about dynamics. We played various percussion instruments to create sounds. We watched April Showers from the film Bambi without music and discussed how the sounds in the film would get louder and softer as the rain got heavier and lighter. We then created our own music along to the film in time with the thunderstorm.
This week we have had Prefect responsibilities, we will also have these next week. After that we can apply to be Prefects in P7.
