This week in P6B we have been learning about…

Maths

• In maths, we practiced exchanging and carrying.
• In maths, we focused on decimal fractions with division.

 

Literacy

• We got new group reading books. My book is called Project Bright Spark.
• We did a piece of writing on how to steal Christmas and we wrote instructions. We had to include four sections: an introduction, things you will need, numbered list and a conclusion.
• On Wednesday, we did handwriting and it was about Harry Potter.

 

HWB

• On Friday we had PE. We focused on football and we played the numbers game.
• On Thursday, we learned about our rights and what happens when they aren’t fulfilled. We also watched a video about a current situation where the rights of the child are not being met because of a conflict. We played a game called Promises, Promises to understand more.

 

Other Curricular Areas

• We watched the P1 Nativity and it was Mrs Agnew’s class. The Nativity was about the story of the first Christmas. After we watched it we created good luck cards for our P1 buddies and the classes. I enjoyed it!
• We had a STEM challenge and we had to try and make a sleigh. It was a knex challenge. It needed to hold three things and be able to move. If you wanted bonus points you needed to have a moving part or have a Christmas theme.
• On Wednesday and Thursday, we made art pieces using pointillism. We had to use different shades of colours to add light and shadows. We used tooth picks and cotton buds.
• On Monday some of the violinists had a concert at Eastwood.
• On Monday we made props for the P1 and P2 Nativities. We made and painted doors and other props.
