It’s been a busy week so far in P6! Be prepared for a BIG post!

Yesterday we learned that to proclaim the joy of the Gospel is to be open with others about our faith. We read a quote from Pope Francis that told us “Every encounter with Jesus changes our life and every encounter with Jesus fills us with joy.” Next, we analysed the prayer through which we profess of our faith every week at Mass – the Apostle’s Creed – and discussed it line by line. Since the Apostle’s Creed contains the seeds from which our faith grows, we drew illustrations on seed templates for our wall display. Watch this space!

Today in maths we were learning about the link between visual patterns and number patterns. We know that 1 item in a pattern is called a ‘term.’

This trio of maths geniuses discovered the number pattern to go with visual pattern above. They figured out that the rule was ‘5 x the term plus one.’ Excellent!

Next we analysed William Wallace. We read facts about him and decided where to place him on a character line, based on how our opinions were influenced…

There was lots of super discussion going on in our trios. Later on, we presented a fact each to the class, justified our opinion and asked our classmates if they agreed with us or not. It led to a really interesting and very impressive debate….

Finally, we have been having our say in class about our lessons. Mrs McLean has provided a ballot box and we have been invited to evaluate our lessons every day if we wish using ‘Two Stars and Wish.’ Some of us were really keen to have our say…

The William Wallace Fact and Opinion Lesson was a real hit…

I loved it!’ Gave my opinion. Everyone took part!

*Brilliant lesson. Well done Mrs McLean!

Really fun. Good groups. More of this activity!

We had fun. We all took part. Next time more facts please!

Phew! Mrs McLean can go home pleased. Thanks Primary 6!
