What a fantastic week of learning we\u2019ve had in P6! The classroom has been full of energy, teamwork and creativity. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:<\/p>\n
Numeracy \u2013 Place Value & Rounding<\/strong><\/p>\n This week, we explored place value in numbers up to 7 digits through games, hands-on challenges and written work. We practised identifying the value of digits in large numbers and our rounding skills \u2014 we experienced rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 100,000, and even up to the nearest million!<\/p>\n Literacy \u2013 Diary Writing & Peer Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n In Literacy, we stepped into the shoes of a character from our class novel \u2018Divided City\u2019 and wrote diary entries from their perspective. We did an excellent job thinking about what our character may have seen and how they might have felt, spoken and reacted through internal monologue. After drafting, we peer-assessed each other\u2019s writing using 3 Tickled Pinks (things we loved) and 2 Greens for Growth (areas to improve). We then used this feedback to type up our final diary entries.<\/p>\n Exploring Glasgow \u2013 Our Class Novel Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n To connect with the setting of our class novel, we used Google Earth to explore the city of Glasgow. We identified at least three key landmarks, did some note-taking and compared different parts of the city- recording any similarities and differences. This activity sparked great discussion and curiosity! Next week, we will use iPads to create a guided digital tour with voiceovers, sharing our thoughts and findings.<\/p>\n Art \u2013 Geometric Football Designs<\/strong><\/p>\n In Art, we linked geometry to creativity by focusing on shapes like pentagons and hexagons. We used these to design realistic footballs, practising line work to do this accurately- they look great!<\/p>\n P.E. \u2013 Teamwork & Skill Building<\/strong><\/p>\n This term, we\u2019re focusing on football and netball. This week, we practised essential skills such as dribbling and worked on team-building games to build cooperation and communication. We are already showing great progress and teamwork!<\/p>\n Our Class Charter \u2013 Fruits of Uniqueness<\/strong><\/p>\n To celebrate the individuality of every one of us, we each chose a different fruit to represent ourselves and created a \u201cFruits of Uniqueness\u201d display. Each fruit is a symbol of who we are and what we bring to the classroom. We also discussed positive class slogans to reflect our values and how we treat one another. Some great examples include \u201cIn our bowl, we all belong- working together makes us strong.\u201d And \u201cBananas, berries, grapes and more- together we open more learning doors\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a week packed with exploration, expression and enthusiasm. We can\u2019t wait to see what next week brings!<\/p>\n Have a lovely weekend.<\/p>\n By Reuben and Miss Cook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a fantastic week of learning we\u2019ve had in P6!
