🌟 Primary 6A Weekly Update! 🚀
✍️ Literacy Focus: To the Moon and Back
This week, Primary 6A has been channeling their inner astronauts! We’ve been concentrating on sharpening our recount writing skills. The class took on an exciting challenge: writing a detailed recount from the unique perspective of Neil Armstrong during the moon landing. They’ve worked hard to use strong descriptive language and structure their writing clearly.
📏 Numeracy Focus: Metric Measurement Mastery
In Maths, our focus shifted to measurement. We delved into the world of metric measurement, learning not just how to measure with accuracy but also how to confidently convert between different metric units (e.g., millimeters to centimeters, meters to kilometers). This is a crucial skill for real-world problem-solving!
🌍 Topic Work: Water Around the World
Our Topic work explored the vital resource of water. We compared and contrasted water uses in developed and developing countries, specifically looking at the differences and similarities between Scotland and Sudan. This has sparked some fantastic discussions about resource management and global citizenship.
🎨 Art Corner: Cubist Creatures
To get into the Halloween spirit, the class got creative in Art! Inspired by the famous artist Picasso and the Cubism movement, Primary 6A produced some truly unique and spooky masterpieces: a series of cubist Dracula portraits! They used geometric shapes and multiple perspectives to create abstract, eye-catching Halloween art.
We’ve had a busy and productive week! Please ask your child to share their Neil Armstrong recount or tell you about their Picasso-inspired Dracula!
