Primary 6 have been busy learning new routines and have settled well into their new classroom. We have been exploring our new surroundings and resources  so that we can work independently.  We have had fun playing Numeracy and Literacy games to revise our previous learning.

We have been making the most of learning outside in our lovely school grounds and the beautiful weather. In maths we have been revising P5 concepts, including subtraction, division and symmetry.  In Art, we have been exploring the visual elements line, tone and pattern.

We studied the patterns created by a range of beautiful mandalas. We discussed how the often have multiple lines of symmetry and lots of detail. We decided to recreate some mandalas using natural materials. We had fun selecting the objects in the playground  then arranging them.

We have also started our new Interdisciplinary Learning topic of Space! 🚀We joined our learning in Literacy and Science when we created these fantastic informational leaflets using our notes from a National Geographic video. In Literacy, we learned about the importance of layout and lettering when creating an informational text. We are going to share our leaflets with each other so we can learn all about the 8 planets in our Solar System. What a fantastic job our P6.1 class have made! 👏⭐ Here are some finished examples so far…

We also got to be the first class in the school to meet our new Mandarin teacher. We are looking forward to working in class with her next week and for Mandarin lessons to start again. 🇨🇳
