Since returning back to school in mid-March we have settled back in and are all loving being back together. We have been working so hard and can’t wait to share with you everything we have been learning in class.

 

 

Maths

Since returning from our Easter Holiday, the Circles have been learning about time, the Squares have been learning about algebra and the Triangles have been learning about angles. We have been working very hard on our mental maths skills and are very competitive when we play active maths games!

Literacy

We are coming to the end of our class novel ‘The Heartstone Odyssey’. We have been exploring and discussing some very important themes including diversity. All of the children have been extremely respectful and have linked our lessons to Art, Drama and Writing. During comprehension lessons we have been developing a variety of skills such as skimming and scanning, visualisation, predicting and summarising. We have really been focusing on our Talking and Listening skills and will soon be presenting our group projects based on our Science topic ‘Space’. In writing lessons we have been working poetry, imaginative writing skill and created ‘Earth Day’ posters. We have been also been continuing to learn our weekly spelling rules.

RE

Prior to the holiday we had been learning about the Easter Story and created storyboards retelling this important story. We have also been continuing with our Pope Francis Faith Award and are currently learning about the gathering point ‘Fear of the Lord’. This theme focuses on appreciating our world and the beauty of creation and we have linked this to Outdoor Learning, Writing and Art. Throughout Primary 6 so far, the children have also reflected upon Knowledge, Piety, Wisdom and Fortitude, identifying ways that they have used these gifts in scenarios at home, school or their place of worship.

 

Social Studies

Our topic this term is based around Rights Respecting Schools. Our first theme is ‘The Power of Peace’. We have been learning about peaceful protesting and learning about some key figures in history who demonstrated peace when campaigning.  We always love discussing our ideas and thoughts with one another.

Expressive Arts

Throughout the year, we have been learning about a variety of different genres of art and in particular different artists. Most recently we have been learning about ‘Pop Art’ and looking at contrasting colours. Look out on Twitter this week to see our finished pieces!

 

 

 

We are so looking forward to our final term in Primary 6 and we look forward to sharing more of our learning with you next month.

P6d and Miss Igoe 🙂
