This week in P6b…

It is our final week of term 2! We had another busy week with our big show performances. Thank you to everyone for supporting the learners from helping them learn their lines, practicing the songs and putting costumes together. I was incredibly proud of everyone’s performances.

Today we said goodbye to Miss Nesbitt. We had a lovely afternoon reminiscing and celebrating.  We are all sad to see her go and I would like to thank Miss Nesbitt for her time, enthusiasm and commitment to supporting P6B this term. I hope you will join me in wishing her the best of luck as you starts her teaching journey in August.

This week in P6B we have been celebrating World Book Day!

Our author of the week was Zanib Mian. She is the author of Planet Omar and we have been reading her books in class. Zanib created the book series after feeling that there wasn’t a lot of representation of Muslim individuals in children’s books.

The learners conducted an author study and created their own Project Zanib book covers and blurbs to showcase their knowledge of the author. We learned about her writing style and used this when creating our biographies.

We used the Planet Omar books in all of our literacy lessons this week, including reading skills and comprehension. On Monday we chose a character from the book and analysed them using the STEAL approach. On Wednesday we used an excerpt from Chapter 14 and focused on developing our dictionary skills. We used Blooket to assess our skills and there was a lot of excitement in the classroom!

We also completed the Grand Design Challenge and used our maths skills to calculate the area of the space. Next week we will vote for our winning design and begin revamping our Reading Corner.

We ended the week by reading with our P1 buddies and shared the excitement of reading.

EuroQuiz – On Tuesday we had a massive stage EuroQuiz then 4 teams went to the ERC heats. The teams were amazing!

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

From Miss McNeil and P6b
