Snapshot of P6A’s learning! – 30.08.19

This week we completed our family tree themed class charter. We all discussed and voted for the UNCRC articles that we wanted to learn more about and focus on for the rest of the year using the wellbeing indicaors. Below is our selection from the 54 articles:

• Article 3 – Adults must do what’s best for me.
• Article 12 – I have the right to be listened to, and taken seriously.
• Article 13: You have the right to find out things and say what you think, through making art, speaking and writing, unless it breaks the rights of others
• Article 15: You have the right to be with friends and join or set up clubs, unless this breaks the rights of others.
• Article 19: You have the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.
• Article 29: You have the right to education which tries to develop your personality and abilities as much as possible and encourages you to respect other people’s rights and values and to respect the environment.

We then shared our ideas about what makes a good teacher and a good pupil, which has helped us to form our classroom conduct guide.

It has been all about Harry Potter this week! So far the class has made predictions on chapter 1, read chapters 1-3 and participated in reciprocal reading activities by inferring, reflecting, responding exploring and creating with a partner.

During our Health and Wellbeing lesson we worked on the importance of positive self-image. We discussed how each individual has a unique blend of abilities and needs, and how we can make Crookfur Primary School a community, which values individuals equally and is a welcoming place for all. Afterwards, we wrote about the best part of ourselves and displayed our wonderful writing outside of the classroom with our pictures. Then we went outside and used different positive adjectives to describe the people in our classroom.

In maths the whole class have been learning about Number Talks and different mental maths strategies. We also participated in a variety of maths games which we will be using in our lessons throughout the year.

Congratulations to our first group table winners, I hope you enjoy your raffle rewards!
