W/E 20th September 2018

For maths week we received a visit from a nurse who explained how she used maths in context in her real life job and how important this was to her patients and her multidisciplinary team.

The children had learned to create a SWAY presentation or a powerpoint based upon theirĀ  science topic of the power and uses of water.

They began to share them with the class this week and will continue to do so over the next few weeks until all children have presented their work.

Primary 6a began to read “Street child” by Berlie Doherty as their class novel. This is related to their Victorians topic. In literacy we have been looking at adjectives as part of our grammar lessons and characterization as a reading skill. The children worked co-operatively to create character descriptions of some of the characters we have been introduced to so far in the novel.

Well done to Artur who created an amazing Victorian factoryĀ  at home from recycled material. He kindly brought this in to share with the class.

 

P6a

Welcome back to St Marks after a wonderful, sunny summer!

Primary 6a have gotten off to a fantastic start with this terms learning.

They have been learning about mixtures and water and exploring the use of a variety of separation techniques during science.

They have picked up where they left off, in Primary 5 with their ukulele lessons.

They have began their social studies topic which this term will have a historical focus, learning all about The Victorians. They will be reading an associated novel during literacy lessons, which will be allocated shortly. During literacy this term we will also be reading the LW3 books and deepening our knowledge of common grammar rules.

We also loved buddingĀ  up with Primary 2 and helping them to read stories and we created questions to challenge them.

Keep checking our blog for regular updates on learning experience throughout the year.
