Welcome to our Primary 6 November update. We have had a very busy month in our class.\u00a0We would like to share what we have been doing with you all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maths\u00a0\u2013 We have now been looking at multiplication and division. We all need to keep practicing our times tables but we are slowly starting to understand the process. We\u00a0are\u00a0really good\u00a0with our multiplication and division of 10, 100 and 1000.\u00a0After working hard on our maths\u00a0strategies\u00a0we have now developed a link between them\u00a0both. We have been doing a range of active maths activities to deepen our understanding of problem solving.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Literacy \u2013\u00a0We have now started our new novels and both groups are really enjoying them. The Dark\u00a0Isle is a terrifying, touching and funny novel. It is\u00a0fast paced\u00a0that takes you on an exciting magical journey into a new world. Saving Finnegan is about an island in Scotland, and how a small island community is divided over what course of action to take about a stranded whale. This is a powerful and hugely enjoyable novel. We have all been working hard on\u00a0our weekly spelling words and this is shown in our Friday spelling test results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

RE \u2013\u00a0We have now completed Primary 6 God\u2019s Loving Plan. All children acted in a mature responsible way and\u00a0are now aware of the physical and emotional changes that\u00a0will take place.\u00a0<\/span>We learned about St Margaret of Scotland on her feast day.\u00a0We are now concentrating on St Andrew.\u00a0We have learned all about his life and why he is the patron saint of Scotland. We enjoy celebrating St Andrew\u2019s Day by drinking sugar free Iron \u2013 Brew and eating short bread, we also learned how to do the Scottish Fling dance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Science\/ Topic \u2013\u00a0We have been successful learners by making our own flying helicopters and investing how air resistance\u00a0has an effect on\u00a0how they fly. We had lots of fun throwing them off the top floor and timing each one we made. Interestingly,\u00a0our investigation showed the smaller helicopter was faster than the larger one. In December we are going to be making our own parachutes so look out for the pictures on twitter.\u00a0We have been exploring capital cities and what makes them capital cities. A few we already knew about but others have really surprised us.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

H&W\/ Emotion Works \u2013\u00a0We have been\u00a0working hard in PE with Dodge ball and team games. Fitness has kept us warm outside with the weather. We have been practising our passing skills and learning the importance of a team.\u00a0<\/span>During Anti- Bullying week, we explored how to be a good friend and\u202facted out different bulling scenarios.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Expressive Arts \u2013\u00a0We created a lovely poppy day display and learned the importance of 11<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0November and why it is called Remembrance\u00a0Day.\u00a0<\/span>We\u00a0know how to be safe in Primary 6 after having a visit from the Strathclyde Fire department. We learned all about fireworks\u00a0and bonfire safety when it was Guy Fawkes. We learned the story of Guy Fawkes and created our own firework pictures\u00a0using oil pastels and black card. We have started to make Christmas stocking to display in the school\u00a0for\u00a0Christmas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thank\u00a0you for reading what we have been up to. We cannot wait till next month when we can update you all with our Christmas activities and show you all pictures of our decorated class this year.\u00a0Pictures are always on Twitter so please have a look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
