This week in P6b…

Maths

• We have been learning about coordinates. Miss Nesbitt made a massive coordinate grid on the floor for us to practice. We have also been playing battleships outwith maths time to practice.
• We have been learning about data handling. We worked with Miss McNeil to learn about how influencers use data on social media. Then we created a survey project. The research is investigating the social media usage of P6 and P7 pupils.

Literacy

• This week we focused on characterisation using the STEAL approach. This helped us when we were creating our imaginative newspaper articles today.

HWB

• Miss Nesbitt led our rebound block on P.E.  She taught us a new warm up game which focused on cooperation and strategising.
  

School Show

• This week we started practicing the songs for our show, Mystery at Magpie Manor.
• Everyone was told their role today. More information including lines will be given out towards the end of next week.
• It has been extremely challenging for the teachers to decide on the roles as we were blown away by everyone’s auditions. We have created new roles and adapted roles from the original to ensure everyone who wanted a speaking part has one. We cannot wait to see you perform your roles on 26th March.

Have a lovely weekend!

This week in P6B we have been learning about…

Literacy and English

We created our first drafts of our recipes for the Crookfur Cookbook. Everyone used Miss McNeil’s example to help us to create our success criteria.

Health and Wellbeing

We have been learning about resilience and our bouncebackability. This week we explored body language clues associated with different emotions and the support measures available to us if we find it challenging to manage our emotions.

Knex Challenge

We completed the class Knex challenge. Each pair was scored out of 100. Well done to E and L who won and will be representing p6b in the stage competition.

Bodyworks

This week we were learning about the lungs. We investigated the number breaths we took before and after exercise then compared the two variables. We then discussed why our breaths increased.

At the end of the week we enjoyed our trip to the Science Centre where we learned even more about our bodies. Look out for next week’s blog for more information.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
