Recently, whilst in the playground doing gym or the daily mile, Primary 5/6 and I have noticed how much litter there is in the playground and just outside the school – so this morning we decided to do something about it! Primary 5/6 managed to collect lots of litter and it looks much better now! ππΌ
Have a great weekend everyone, thanks for all your hard work today!
Today Primary 5/6 were working on developing their characterisation in stories. One group was brainstorming adjectives that could be used to describe a troll and the other group was looking at the difference between direct and indirect character descriptions. We learned that indirect character descriptions are more interesting for our readers and we were practising writing these.
Today Primary 5/6 had (a very soggy) outdoor P.E. lesson. The class enjoyed it but I was glad to get back into the warm again!
In literacy we were working on our summarising and inference skills and we used the Pixar short film, βFor the Birdsβ, to discuss the impact that bullying can have. In maths we were practising our formal addition skills and everyone did fantastically well.
Today we were learning how to use inverted commas, or speech marks, to show direct speech in our writing. We also had our weekly yoga session and hung the last of our Diwali lanterns.
