Hello from Primary 6d.
We have been learning lots of new things this month!
Literacy
For writing this month we were focusing on Climate Change , we made posters and wrote letters to the First Minister which were displayed in the hall on World Children’s Day, we were very proud. For spelling we have been learning our words by making up our own multi-sensory activities and we have been working really hard on our talking and listening skills. We are currently reading The Heartstone Odyssey in class, we linked this to our drama this week and had to work in groups to make 3 freeze frames from scenes from the book.
Maths
We have been focusing on decimals, fractions and 2-digit multiplication and continuing to play lots of active maths games to help with our Times Tables!
Australia
We are now coming to the end of our Australia project. As part of our homework task, we had to create a PowerPoint presentation focusing on one aspect of Australia. Some examples of things that we chose were sports, animals, history, the Great Barrier Reef etc. We were then asked 3 questions from the audience and were given 2 stars and a wish for our feedback. Miss Igoe was very impressed with how confident we were.
RE
To mark the beginning of our Pope Francis Faith Award, Canon Eddie came into our class to celebrate a mass with us. We have been learning about the gift of Knowledge. We delivered a quick presentation to our class about our favourite hobbies and also made mind maps about what we would like to work as when we were older, we had to think about the skills we would need to do this. During ICT we were researching information about a saint of our choice and have also been creating PowerPoints about different faiths. We are really looking forward to the start of Advent this week!
Outdoor Learning
We have been busy exploring the Upper Forest in the last couple of weeks. We really enjoyed going through the river although we got very wet! Some activities we have done include working with a partner to build a mini-den.
We hope you have enjoyed reading about what we have been doing in class!
P6d and Miss Igoe
