Primary 6 November Update

There has been lots going on in Primary 6 this month.

In literacy, we began our persuasive writing unit. We have been using the PM writing programme to develop our writing skills, focusing on the description bubble to enhance our work. We have explored different features of persuasive text and completed our first piece of writing about why P6 should go to the zoo! 

We have also been working on our film literacy, describing scenes and the characters in the Harry Potter movies. 

This month in numeracy, we have completed our multiples, factors and prime numbers topic. We are now moving onto fractions, decimals and percentages where we will be exploring their relationship and how this knowledge can help us in the real world. 

In maths, we have been learning about shape, symmetry and angles, extending and challenging our current understanding. 

P6 have been enjoying our animal’s topic, where we have been learning about different animal habitats and adaptations. We were able to apply our learning during our visit to Edinburgh Zoo this month! 

At our assembly this morning, we were learning about the great work that Children in Need do for so many children across the country.

As part of this, we all took part in Joe Wick’s Hosted by BBC’s Kathryn B Wilson and Dodge the Dog – join Joe as he completes a LIVE Activate and a series of FUNdraising challenges with friends from across the BBC!
