Mr Atkinson’s comment:
I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming September holiday weekend! Homework will be starting the following week and I will explain to the class what this will involve on Tuesday. Instructions will also be uploaded onto Google Classroom.
Literacy and English
Eva – The class read chapter 10 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and then we drew a sequence of the main events.
Harley – This week we worked in our spelling groups to complete work on our different sounds.
Numeracy and Maths
John – This week my group moved onto subtracting involving 4 digit numbers and exchanging.
Lewis – My group used our understanding of multiplying 4 and 5 digits numbers to find the answers to problem solving questions.
Archie – My group has been learning how to calculate the perimeter of different shapes. Some of the calculations involved adding decimals.
French
Kyler – With Mr McMillan we were learning how to say different types of clothes in French.
Health and Wellbeing
Ruairidh – In our Growth Mindset lesson, some of us created Top Trump cards based on our class novel characters. We then gave them scores out of one hundred based on how effective leaners they were. Qualities of an effective leaner are challenging yourself, perseverance, embracing mistakes and trying your best. Another task was separating the Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset phrases and writing them around a bouncing ball or a burst ball.
Aarohi – We also discussed what “doom words” were and how we can overcome them.
Science
Retal – The P5 pupils worked with Mrs Lamont and discovered how the rotation of gears creates energy.
Harley – With Mr Atkinson, the P6 children created definitions for physical and chemical changes which helped them to identify real life examples.
