Welcome to the P6A class blog! We cannot wait to share all of our learning with you and hopefully this will give you an insight into our week.
What we have been learning about in P6a this week:
Literacy and English
Abbie – In Big Writing we wrote a story about a superhero and a villain. We had to draw our superhero first and write adjectives about them. We were working on our openers.
Adam H – In spelling we played spelling sparkle and we have been practising “ch” and “sh” words. We used elkonin boxes, paint, playdough, chalk and stamps to practice our spelling.
Elise – In spelling one of us got to be the teacher and one of us was the pupil and the teacher asked the pupil to say, make, break, stretch, count and write the words.
Nicolas – This week we have been reading out class novel: A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Julia – I really like A Series of Unfortunate Events because it isn’t a really happy or really sad story.
Numeracy and Mathematics
Eilidh P – In maths we started learning about 3D shapes and we used playdough and art straws to make different 3D shapes. We learned about faces, edges and vertices. We also played maths games.
Ruby – In maths I learned that half of a sphere is called a hemisphere.
Harry – In Maths we all completed a check-up to find out what we could recall from primary 5 and what we need to revise over the next couple of months.
Health and Wellbeing
Hibba – We have been looking at Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindsets. We wrote about our goals and the power of yet.
Owen – Last week we took part in a STEM challenge to save a gummy worm called Fred, it was really hard but fun. This helped us have a growth mindset not to give up.
Joseph – In PE we have been playing football and looked at dribbling.
John Muir Award (IDL and Science)
Sabre – We have been learning about John Muir because we are taking part in the John Muir award. For science we went to the woodland to see what types of food chains we could find and we drew and labelled them.
Muhammad – We went outside and did some litter picking for conservation of the area. We counted up all the pieces of litter we could find.
Hirah – We did orienteering outside in all of the playgrounds. We had to use maps of the school to find flags and cross them off on our grid using coordinates.
Joseph – I learned that energy comes from the sun and that plants are called producers and things that eat plants and animals are called consumers.
Expressive Arts
Zainab – We did some drama in the performance courtyard looking at freeze frames.
