It has been a very busy and exciting week in Primary 6!
In numeracy, we have been learning how to read, write and convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time. We practised recognising different ways time can be shown and worked on converting confidently between the two formats.
In literacy, we explored morals and discussed how they are presented in stories. This inspired us to become authors ourselves as we began writing stories for our new Primary 1 buddies next year. Many of us chose important themes such as being kind, telling the truth, and understanding that it’s okay to be different.
We were also introduced to our new topic: biodiversity. We discussed what biodiversity means, why it is important for our planet, and what might happen if one part of biodiversity changes. This led us to learning about habitats. Each of us was given an animal to research, and we designed the perfect habitat for it, explaining how it would meet the animal’s needs and help it to survive.
During outdoor learning, we went on a mini-beast safari and carried out our own biodiversity hunt, spotting living things and thinking about the different habitats around our school grounds.
In P.E., we have been developing our athletics skills with a focus on sprinting and relay races, practising teamwork, speed and coordination.
A highlight of our week was our first visit to the nursery to meet our future Primary 1 buddies. We had so much fun getting to know them, playing together, and building new friendships. We are already looking forward to next year!
