Snapshot of P6B’s learning!
We started the week investigating whether items would float or sink to help us understand buoyancy. After this we worked in groups to create Titanic related information posters by using the Chromebooks and laptops. Some of the topics we researched included; social classes, engineering/structure, the journey, modern day shipping and the events surrounding the Titanic. Next week we will be presenting our posters to the class!
During our literacy lesson we analysed an extract from our Harry Potter class novel and made inferences based on the author’s word choice. We then discussed and justified our answers with our partners. On Friday we began to use our dictionary skills to locate definitions for tricky words throughout the first three chapters of the novel, we are going to finish this off next week.
In one of our maths sessions Mr Atkinson set up some challenges to help us revise addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
The highlight of the week was definitely the Diversity Day event at Barrhead Foundry. We took part in a quiz which involved us visiting stalls and learning about lots of different religions. All of us got a chance to participate in dances and games from different cultures.
Mr Atkinson’s Comment
Well done everyone for getting involved at the Diversity Day event, we had a lot of fun! Homework was issued last week and should be returned on Monday. For the next few weeks mental maths homework will be issued through Sumdog, however, if you cannot access this please let me know and I can issue the questions by printing them. Google Classrooms should now be accessible for all, you can locate the audiobooks of the chapters issued as homework in the resource section, again if there are any issues with this a printed copy can be issued.
