Week 1
P6a have gotten off to a fantastic start to this year. They were introduced to this terms novel “Street Child” and worked on their prediction skills.
They recounted their summer break and shared their news with their classmates.
Children were given the opportunity to hear and try a brass instrument and forms have been sent home should you wish to sign them up for lessons.
On dry days this week we seized the opportunity to begin outdoor learning. Children were given the opportunity to work as a team to problem solve and build resources. On Friday we joined up with P6b for a scavenger hunt.
Well done to the children who acted as class reporters and photographers this week !
Star of the week
Well done to our Star of the week who received house points and a prize. Over the next week all of her classmates will have the opportunity to give a “shout out” to her which she can take home on Friday.
Homework P6a
Homework has been assigned on Education city. All groups are working on the 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) including the associated language of maths and words problems. This should be completed daily between now and the October break until % has been achieved on all the assigned tasks.
In addition to this pupils are asked to complete written calculation that will be assigned on Monday and collected on Friday. This should be completed in their Homework jotter.
Spelling homework will be issued on a Monday and collected on a Friday. The Friday assessment will focus on the rule as opposed to being a memory test of assigned words. All pupils have been issued list of rules between now and the October break and the dates on which theses will be taught in class.
Pupils are encouraged to read for enjoyment daily and may borrow books from my class library to do so or they can read a book that they have a home.

Term 1 2019
Welcome, to what is going to be a fantastic year for P6a!
Today the children settled into class well as they were learning all about being in the upper school and the expectations that that brings.
PE day will be a Tuesday and one other still to be confirmed.
Children are welcome to leave their PE kit and their locker and it will be sent home if muddy, sweaty or wet and at at each half term.
Could children also bring in old/ waterproof clothing for outdoor learning tasks. This can also be kept in their locker.
There is no homework assigned for this week to allow children to settle back into a routine after the holidays, however homework will be assigned via this blog so please check regularly for updates.
Today the pupils worked as groups investigating and discussing the UN charter for the rights of the child. They identified 3 rights that each group felt were important. They collated the results and used their democratic right to vote to select the 3 rights that they wish to focus on this term. They selected Articles 15, 26 and 33 focusing on their rights to join organisations and have free speech, the right to receive financial aid from the government and the right to be protected from drugs. Children also discussed their right to be safe, healthy and heard and from here formulated their class rules. Together these form the class charter of P6a which has been agreed to by each child.
