Welcome to Primary 6d’s first blog! We have all settled in really well since returning in August and have been working very hard.

This year in Primary 6 we have been doing lots of Outdoor Learning. We are very lucky to have Cadoc’s Wood so close to our school and have enjoyed working in pairs and groups to complete activities such as making a birds nest, investigating symmetry in nature and creating an obstacle course in the Muddy Mover’s area. We have also linked Outdoor Learning to our writing and created wonderful Haiku poems about nature. A Haiku poem is a special type of poem which has three lines, following a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

At the beginning of term we did a vote and decided that our new topic was going to be Australia! We wrote down things that we would like to learn about and used our researching skills on the Chromebooks to find out information about an Australian city of our choice. We also learned about some terrifying spiders!

In Numeracy, we have been learning about fractions, time and addition and subtraction. We have also been playing lots of active games to practise our multiplication tables and division. One of our favourite games is Popcorn Odds and Evens.

 

Keep checking Twitter to see photos of our learning, we are very excited for the year ahead!

Primary 6d and Miss Igoe.
