Hello and welcome to Primary 6. Our class teacher this year is Mr Koufogiannis and Miss Page.

This term we have been looking at the following:

Literacy

We are currently reading ‘Pig Heart Boy’ by Malorie Blackman, which links well into our topic of The Human Body. We use our novel to support the development of our literacy skills.

Numeracy

We have focused on place value. We have been working with numbers up into 10,000s and 100,000s. Whilst looking at place value we have been consolidating and building on our knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We are learning new strategies such as the grid method for multiplication.

Our maths topic this term is shape. We are looking at both 2D and 3D shapes.

Topic

Our topic is The Human Body. So far we have looked at the function of a skeleton, muscles and joints as well as the digestive system. We will be moving on to learn about the respiratory system, circulatory system and the reproductive system.

Health and Wellbeing

Our health and wellbeing focus this term is Emotion Works, which is supporting us in class and outside. We have also been looking at various ways to regulate our emotions and build positive relationships with our peers.

We have gym on a Tuesday and Thursday, our current focus is basketball. 

We also do outdoor learning on a Tuesday where we are using the loose parts to create different challenges such as obstacle course games and rafts.
