Mr Atkinson’s comment:
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the well researched Solo-Talks that have been shared recently with the class! I am very proud of the pupils and thank you for supporting them with this activity. This week the pupils have been learning about Ramadan and designed cards to celebrate Eid.
Literacy and English
Zainab – This week in our writing lesson we created poems called ‘I Am..’ which were about us. We included information about our hobbies, interests and feelings that we experience. Afterwards, we re-drafted them and decorated a border with themes from the poems which we then mounted our poems onto for our new display.
Archie – Our reading skills that we have developing this week was predicting. We discussed how to make predictions and what strategies we can use to make an educated guess with the help of clues within a text.
Ruairidh and Maya – The primary 5 children were learning how to make words plurals by using “ves” in their spelling tasks and the primary 6 children were growing different words.
Numeracy and Maths
Harley – My group has started a new topic about fractions. This week we have been revising what fractions are and discussing examples of fractions in real life.
Eva – Some of us have been learning about multiples and what is a lowest common multiple. We have also been revising our times tables to help us with this new topic.
Health and Wellbeing
Aarohi – In our Substance Misuse lesson we learned about the different types of medicine, where to store them and the warnings and side effects associated with them.
Isla – We have started developing our tennis skills this week, focusing on our forehand and aiming.
Outdoor Learning
Emma – When we returned to school we removed all the dead leaves that had fallen into our planters and watered the soil to help the plants and seeds grow.
Technology
Chloe – This week we finish our technology block of learning by creating our own step counters using the Microbits which we tested outside! We also programmed the Microbits to play the game Rock, Paper and Scissors against us.
