Mr Atkinson\u2019s comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been an exciting week in P5\/6 with releasing our trout’s on Monday and taking part in World Book Day! Next week, in our outdoor learning session, we will be clearing out planters in preparation for creating our garden for our John Muir award. Some of the pupils in the class will also be working with Miss Ross on finalising the Fairtrade presentation which they will share with the school on Friday.<\/p>\n

Literacy and English<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Henna –\u00a0<\/strong>This week we started our new series of imaginative writing. We were challenged to create a detailed opening paragraph about landing on an undiscovered planet. To successfully achieve this we used similes and adjectives.<\/p>\n

Chloe –\u00a0<\/strong>The primary 5 pupils have been spelling words that have “ch,” “sh” and “th” in them.<\/p>\n

Retal –\u00a0<\/strong>We all had fun trying to guess who were the Masked Readers as part of World Book Day!<\/p>\n

Ruairidh \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Also for World Book Day we researched the life of Roald Dahl in class and then presented what we had learned to the school at assembly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Numeracy and Maths<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mehr –\u00a0<\/strong>The P6 pupils have been learning how to estimate, measure and calculate the duration of activities in seconds. Once we were confident with this we went outside and time each other using stopwatches. Even Miss Ross and Mr Atkinson raced!<\/p>\n

Aarohi \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The P5 pupils have been revising different types of mentals maths strategies to help them solve addition and subtraction calculations.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sara and Sophie –\u00a0<\/strong>In our creative dance lesson we warmed-up by doing both static and dynamic stretching and then we made group routines which we later added to our class routine.<\/p>\n

Maya –\u00a0<\/strong>In groups we researched the different types of dietary restrictions some people may have due to either their religion, allergies or preferences. We shared our knowledge to the class either on a Jamboard or PowerPoint.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Expressive Arts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

John –\u00a0<\/strong>In Art with Miss Ross we created drawings of people by using a continuous line. It was challenging at first but it was interesting to see everyone’s different designs and unique features.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

IDL \u2013 Fairtrade<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Archie –\u00a0<\/strong>One of our Fairtrade activities was a negotiation challenge! We were given different roles of either a buyer or seller as well as scenarios. We had to reach deals and agreements with different people and then calculate if we made a profit or loss which then helped us to determine if we could meet our basic needs as farmers.<\/p>\n
