Hello again everyone, term 2 is already in full swing and everyday brings a new adventure.  P6 are very lucky to have a student teacher, Miss Stewart, to help in class with our learning and experiences.

The following will be covered over the term;

Literacy:

Reading, we will continue with our study of Wonder.  This is an amazing text that facilitates high quality discussion within the class.  We will then change our focus to the Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.

Writing, we will using the environment around us to help immerse ourselves into setting as part of our writing.  We will always be studying the use of character in our writing by using creative descriptions such as onomatopoeia, similes and alliteration.

Numeracy, the 4 operations (+-x/) will always be key to effective numeracy skills.  In addition to this we will always focus on shape, angles, length and money

Topic, using all aspects of the curriculum we will look closely at the major sporting event of the World Cup overt the next 4 weeks.  Each pupil will be assigned a country competing in Qatar and use their research skills to produce a high quality Independent Project.

Here are some photos from our recent activities in P6 including designing and carving pumpkins for Halloween, producing Firework Haikus and visiting Pollokshields library as part of Book Week.
