Today in Primary 6 we have been learning about the British Empire. We had to work collaboratively to research countries of the Bristish Empire using the chrome books and then create giant flags. Each group chose a different flag.
Victorian Homes
Our task was to research a Victorian home and design a suitable house for a wealthy Victorian. We were able to draw a detailed plan or create a model. We worked independently or with a partner. Our designs included the key features of a Victorian home, information about each room of the house and have appropriate living areas for both servants and the family members.
Today in Primary 6 we showed our designs to the other primary 6 class and presented our information. We were all really impressed by each other’s designs and gave each other some great feedback!
Maths challenge
This week in Maths we were given the challenge of buying Christmas gifts and sticking to a budget. Some of us chose to work in a group and others worked independently.
We also enjoyed learning about improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Europe Research
As part of our Europe topic we had to research a European country of our choice and create a leaflet. We peer assessed each other’s work. Primary 7 also made a visit to our class to read our leaflets and give us some valuable feedback.
Heartstart
Today we learned how to give CPR to someone who has had a cardiac arrest. We listened very carefully and were able to give chest compressions and rescue breaths.
Fraction fun!
We have been having good fun learning about equivalent fractions.
We visited Primary 2/2
We presented our Fireworks safety posters to Primary 2. We wanted to make sure they stayed safe on Bonfire night. We think they really enjoyed our visit!
Fireworks Safety
Today we researched fireworks safety and created our own posters with a slogan and a safety message. We are going to share our message about how to keep safe on bonfire night with some of the younger children in the school.
Spooky Stories
Primary 6 had great fun visiting primary 7. We listened to their spooky stories and ate Halloween fruit treats. We thought they had tried very hard to use engaging vocabulary and had chosen excellent titles for their stories. We enjoyed peer assessing their writing. We would love them to come to our class next time for a visit!
