Wow! It’s been a busy month for Primary 6d.
Last week, we thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the ‘Cycle Challenge’. It was great fun and also helped to raise funds for sports equipment, sports trips and resources for outdoor play. Some of us even decided to bring scooters and roller skates. A fantastic effort from everyone!
In Religious, we took part in the enrolment service for ‘ The Pope Francis Faith Award’. We are all looking forward to beginning our new booklet and learning and reflecting on our religion. We also celebrated St. Ninian’s and St. Cadoc’s Feast Days and also the birthday of ‘ Our Lady’. We are currently learning the ‘ Faith Award Prayer’ and reciting the ‘Act of Contrition’ each day to help us remember and prepare for ‘Reconciliation’ which will take place at school.
Primary 6d have been writing imaginative stories. We wrote about being ‘Lost’ and chose where we wanted our stories to take place. We included lots of adjectives and adverbs which we had already practised using our Nelson Grammar textbooks. In functional writing, we have been examining adverts and looking at the different features that catch the readers attention. Our class chose to advertise a new theme park which included colourful graphics and fantastic vocabulary. Wish these places really existed!!
This month, we have all been busy covering lots of different concepts in Numeracy and Mathematics.
- Multiplication of Th H T U by 2 -9
- Place Value to 999 999, millions
- Division with remainders
It’s also Maths Week so we are planning to go outside to work on area and perimeter using chalk to help us to visualise and calculate the correct answers. To revise line symmetry, we created our own imaginative pictures. These are displayed outside our classroom but Mrs Bovaird uploaded them onto Twitter to share them with our parents/carers. We hope you enjoyed seeing our work.
Primary 6d love to share their achievements. Well done to everyone who received stickers or awards in September.
