Primary 6d have settled well back into the daily classroom routine after a long summer holiday. We spent the first week getting to know our new teacher. Three new children have joined our class so we have all been eager to help them settle into their new school. Everyone has enjoyed hearing about what we did during our holidays. We also wrote all about ourselves and transferred this onto a PowerPoint. We have been practising using adjectives and produced a ‘Name’ Acrostic poem which helped Mrs Bovaird to get to know our personalities and our likes and dislikes.

In Numeracy and Mathematics, we have revised mathematical terminology which has helped us to solve more difficult word problems. eg Quotient, Product, Difference between, Cost etc

We have also been working on fractions, decimal fractions and naming different angles.  Mrs Bovaird has taught us lots of new ‘Brain Triggers’ to help us remember important facts.

Primary 6d have discussed children’s rights, produced a ‘Class Charter’ which is all linked to ‘Rights Respecting School’. We are going to continue to work on this throughout the year using our Jigsaw resource.

In social studies, we revised the continents and we are now going to concentrate on the country- ‘Australia’. We will be looking closely at the similarities and differences between Australia and our own country. In Art, we will be researching famous Australian Artists, producing line drawings and creating colourful paintings  linked to different curricular areas.
