Every week some of the students in primary 6a will round up our learning from the week. Over the last two weeks we have been very busy and after enjoying our September weekend everyone was back in school ready to learn! 

We found out that we are going on a school trip in two weeks time to Summerlee Heritage Museum and we are very excited, and slightly worried, about getting to go in to the mines. 

 

Here is our first student round up.

 

Maths-in maths the diamonds have been learning about cubic volume.

The squares were measuring weight and converting grams into kilograms or kilograms into grams.

The triangles are learning about decimal place and how to add them.

Literacy– In literacy we have been writing newspaper articles on famous Victorian inventions.

The Lions have been reading ‘Up on Cloud Nine’ and they discovered that one of the characters called Stoll fell out a top floor window!

The Tigers are reading ‘Granny Nothing’ and they found that Granny Nothing eats worms!

The Bears have been reading ‘Danny the Champion of the World’ they found out that he fell in a hole and broke his leg!

Social studies– In social studies we have been learning about the Victorians and how they lived there lives. We discovered a man called Dr Barnardo and he wanted to make a change to the childrens rights so he did.

Other areas-in R.M.E we are learning about inspirational people. We learnt about a series of people like Martin Luther King, Malala and Mother Teresa as well as how they changed the world!

Mrs Norman’s comment –

Everyone in primary 6a is working hard on demonstrating the schools values through their work in class and how they are presenting themselves around the school. It has been lovely to see all the children trying their best to show respect for themselves and others at all times, as well as dressing for excellence. Keep working hard primary 6!
