This week we have been learning to use partitioning to solve division problems!

here are pictures of our work:

This morning we did  some problem solving during maths and at the end we got to make our own problem. We used the strategies of working backwards and reasoning logically.
Here’s some opinions from our class:

Elaine-“It was hard at first until we did a few more”

Reuben-“It was fun and challenging, we got to make our own!”

Joshua-“It is a good way to improve on your problem solving skills.”

Primary 6 were hard at work today. To start the morning we looked at using reading strategies to help our understanding of unfamiliar texts. Today we focused on scanning and skimming and used these strategies to locate key information about Saint Margaret and Saint Andrew.
In Maths we moved on to a new topic – Angles. Today we identified and sorted a range of angles before completing a tricky challenge of measuring angles in our names.

Last week we attended an anti-bullying workshop. We learned about the impact that bullying can have on your mental  and physical health. We did some activities and had chats about it.

Elaine and Emmanuel with the rest of the Equalities Group helped to set up the workshop and made it possible, thanks guys!

Yesterday we were learning about bereavement, loss and grief.

We had chats with our friends about memories we have, happy and sad.

Then we listened to a few examples of “I Remember” poems for some inspiration to make our own poems. We then wrote poems or paragraphs about our memories.

Here are examples of our work.
