Primary 6/7 learned about the work done through Red Nose Day. We looked at the different people and the places around the world who benefit from the money raised.
They boys and girls used their creative sides to design masks and noses then added their nose character to a comic strip.
In the afternoon we enjoyed some outdoor PE. We played ball games that involved communication and cooperation.
Today we worked on our writing. We engaged in a vocabulary task and used the connectives or and however correctly. We then up levelled sentences to include more detail and description. Â We then read our book before answering questions linked to the text.
We continued our work from yesterday Linking our knowledge of multiplication to work out division facts. We are developing our accuracy/speed and recall.
In the afternoon we really got into our Dyson Foundation task. Our job was to strip down a Dyson Vacuum cleaner. This let us see design features, the electronics and inner workings as well as giving us experience with using different types of screw drivers.
Today was a fantastic day – with everyone catching up and getting back into the rhythm of a school day. We started the day with literacy. Focusing on reading, handwriting and spelling.
After break we worked on our skills with linking division to our knowledge of multiplication. We worked with Mr Green, tested our multiplication skills on the laptops and our other maths skills on Sumdog. We finished off in the afternoon with a daily mile and looked at the different jobs engineers do as part of our new project linked to the James Dyson Foundation.
We continued our focused learning this afternoon. Engaging in the tasks that we selected.  We are developing our  sequencing and planning skills using media (stop motion animation), creating digital texts (PowerPoints) and practising our drawing and design skills too.

Today Primary 6/7 completed their first afternoon of Focused Learning. It is learning based on Pupil Voice and personal choice.
Children were creating stop motion animations, focusing on structure and movement of characters while using ICT.
Children made endangered animal PowerPoints using visual and graphic design techniques.
Children also designed unique animal products and developed their line drawing skills.
Today Primary 6/7 were using Venn diagrams to sort information.
Later on we worked with our partners to script, perform and record our “Big Emotions” video…watch this space!
Today Primary 6/7B started a 6 part story. They used specific tools from the author’s craft to make their story introduction more interesting. The introductions focused on enticing the reader to read on. Children used the 5 senses, similes, metaphors and other descriptive words.
We started by looking at synonyms for standard words and used our previous knowledge to generate other more descriptive words. We then created our own similes and metaphors, analysing the difference between them.
We then used different coloured pens and identified how other authors use the senses. This helped us apply this skill in our own work.
Finally we were ready to write the introductions for our stories. What a great descriptive start to our story so far.
In the afternoon we planned a new way to learn. We will be working on child led focused learning…watch this space!
We also practised our line drawing skills, developing size and scale and using artist techniques to combine two objects together. This week we drew a pangolin climbing up a tree.
This morning the boys and girls participated in more active maths. We demonstrated our skills and applied our number bonds and number compliment skills. This will help us as we move on to work with larger numbers.
This afternoon children were learning about the RNLI and their role as emergency responders. They looked at the history of the RNLI examined the impact cold shock response has on the body and how to overcome it.
We finished off by creating Sea Rescue comic strips.
This week we are looking at the emergency services and identified what they do to help us.
Today we focused on the police. We watched a clip from Police Inspector Green.
The boys and girls discussed the duties carried out by the police and made notes from the video clip.
