Snapshot of P6B’s learning!

This week in P.E. we started practising skills related to tennis. First we worked on our ability to control the ball and then we learnt about the importance of positioning. Next we were introduced to a forehand activity which required us to work in pairs and throw the ball at our partners racket. Then, in a controlled way we would hit the ball back.

In ICT we resumed our spreadsheet and information handling lessons. This required us to use a range of formulas related to addition, subtraction and multiplication to complete questions based on the data. Mr Atkinson also explained to us how these formulas can be used in jobs.

In language we all finished our class novel Chill by Alex Nye. During our time of reading this book we have been applying lots of different reading skills such as evaluating, predicting, analysing, comparing, contrasting, inferring, summarising and assessing. By using these techniques we have a greater understanding of the plot.

P6 are also in the process of creating dramatisations of popular fairytales but with a focus on the UNCRC articles. Next week the P6 pupils plan to perform their stories in front of the morning and afternoon nursery sessions.

Mr Atkinson’s Comment

Well done to everyone who organised and took park in the Mini Mudder challenge! It was thoroughly enjoyed by all and helped raise funds for the new activity trail. Thank you to all the parents and guardians who are allowing their children to bring in items related to the China topic. It provides the pupils an opportunity to share their knowledge with their peers.
