Mr Atkinson’s comment:
Homework has been issued this week to be returned by the 03/10/22. On our Google Classroom, under the classwork section, there are dated instructions explaining what the tasks are and where answers should be written. A list of spelling words to December has been provided to all the pupils and these have been glued into the front of their Literacy Homework jotters. If there is any difficultly accessing the homework information on Google Classroom please let me know.
Next week we are going to be creating model dragons as part of exploring the magical world of Harry Potter. If you have any materials such as cardboard or plastic it would appreciated if these could be brought to class.
Woodland dates are: October 10th, October 31st, November 14th, November 28th and December 12th.
Literacy and English
Ruairidh – In writing this week we wrote letters of complaint! We pretended to be Hogwarts students who had been sold a faulty wand or broom stick by a shop in Diagon Alley. First we had to write both our and the shop address in the correct place.
Lewis – Our success criteria in our complaint letters included using question marks, exclamation marks, emotive language and powerful vocabulary to make our opinions clear.
Chloe – We also read chapter 11 and 12 of our class novel this week!
Numeracy and Maths
Finlay – This week was Maths Week Scotland! The theme this year was exploring how Maths is all around us. We decided to get creative and plan dance routines that involved different shapes, symmetry, compass directions and counting the beats.
Isla – We wrote out our dance moves and used the correct Maths terms in the instructions.
Retal – We all took part in a Maths quiz near the end of the week! First we separated ourselves into our house and then we joined up with the other P6 pupils from the other classes.
Harley – Mr Atkinson also spoke to us about our upcoming Maths homework and how we should write our calculations and answers.
Sophia – One of our starter tasks this week was to identify symmetry in famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower.
Tia – We felt inspired after doing this activity so we drew our own symmetrical patterns.
Sara – Later in the week we were challenged to solve problem solving questions involving some of the operations.
French
Alfie – With Mr McMillan we were learning how to say foods that you would find in a café and begin to order in French.
Health and Wellbeing
Emma – This week in hockey we played matches with Mr McMillan! We were challenged to use the skills we have been develop over the last couple of weeks.
Mehr – As part of our Growth Mindset lesson, we have been learning about different parts of the brain and what it looks like when connections are made when we are challenged.
Science
Aarohi – This week with Mrs Lamont we created posters which encouraged people to use less fossil fuel.
