Literacy Update
\n<\/b>In P5\/6 Literacy, we have been focusing on diary and letter writing. We have explored the structure of diaries and discussed well-known examples such as\u00a0Anne Frank\u2019s diary<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Diary of a Wimpy Kid<\/i>. Key features we have focused on include writing in the first person, expressing opinions and feelings, and ensuring our writing is in the past tense.<\/div>\n
We have written diary entries from the perspective of an inanimate object, as well as about our favourite memories. More recently, we have begun learning about direct speech and how to use speech marks correctly in our writing.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Numeracy Update
\n<\/b>In P5\/6 Numeracy, we have been developing our understanding of division and coordinates. Learners have been using a variety of strategies to solve division problems, including sharing equally and using long division (the bus stop method).<\/div>\n
We have also been learning about coordinates. Learners are now able to plot and describe the position of points on a grid using appropriate notation within the first quadrant (x, y).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Health and Wellbeing Update
\n<\/b>As part of Health and Wellbeing in P5\/6, we have been learning about health and nutrition. We have explored what makes a balanced diet by looking at the different food groups and the Eatwell Plate.<\/div>\n
We have also discussed the different nutritional needs of people at various life stages through group discussions and activities. Learners have planned healthy meals for different individuals and examined the traffic light system on food packaging.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Other Curricular Areas:
\n<\/b>Across our wider learning in P5\/6, we have been exploring the achievements of Scottish inventors through both History and Science. We have learned about the invention of the telephone and investigated how sound waves travel, helping us to understand how we hear.<\/div>\n
Pupils have enjoyed making connections between scientific concepts and real-life inventions and discoveries.<\/div>\n
