This afternoon Primary 6a visited Primary 4  to offer assistance and share expertise about creating digital museums on Google Classroom. I was so impressed with the effort and support Primary 6 were able to offer, they demonstrated super digital skills!

Today in Primary 6a we were continuing with our shape topic. We took part in stations, drawing circles with compasses and constructing 3D objects. We used spaghetti and play doh to construct the 3D objects which allowed us to clearly identify the edges, corners and faces of the different objects. When using a compass to draw circles, we had to carefully follow instructions about the radius of the circle to ensure our circles were accurate.

This afternoon Primary 6 researched the symbols associated with Advent, particularly the Jesse Tree. They identified a range of symbols that may be present on the tree and used Bibles to find out the meaning behind the symbols.

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.

Today Primary 6 were continuing with their writing focus on information texts.  As they have been learning about rewilding and the importance of caring for our planet, they chose to focus on Scottish Wildlife. They worked in pairs to decide on three animals to research and successfully identified relevant information from a range of online sources to include in their writing. I look forward to reading the final writing pieces soon. Mrs Murphy 🙂
