Primary 6a arrived back in school this week ready for the new term. It has been a busy week filled with literacy, numeracy, technologies, science and even dance!
We have been introduced to our new social studies and science topic which we are all very excited about. Mrs Norman is very impressed with all the ideas and prior knowledge learners are able to bring to the topic. We have discussed the different areas of natural disasters that we would like to investigate so we are starting with the structure of the Earth to help us understand the reasons why natural disasters happen. We are looking forward to lots of practical experiences during our learning so keep an eye on our blog for pictures over the next few weeks.
We have been introduced to Google Classroom where learning experiences can be shared. At the beginning we discussed the importance of being responsible users. Some pupils have already taken the opportunity to type up notes about their non-fiction texts at home.
On Tuesday we had a visit from a dance teacher named Clare who taught us a dance as part of the Strictly for Kids fundraising. We all enjoyed learning the moves and put in a lot of effort, Mrs Norman was impressed with how well we participated.
Look out next week for a full round up on our learning so far.
