Class Teacher: Miss Wylie
Welcome to Primary 6!
We have had a fantastic start to the new year and have settled very well into our new classroom and routines! We are very much looking forward to all of the learning to come in P6.
This term our topic is South Africa and we have loved learning all about the history, geography and wildlife so far! We are using Talk for Writing in our literacy which has supported our topic well and we are excited to learn more to help us write detailed information texts.
We all have Accelerated Reading books now and are working hard to achieve an average of 25 minutes of reading time per day.
In numeracy, we have started with a refresher on place value and are challenging ourselves with numbers up to and beyond 1 million. We are going to revise multiplication and division so keep practising those times tables! Later in the year, we will learn fractions, decimals and percentages.
Useful Information:
- Indoor PE- Wednesday
- Outdoor Learning with Marlon- Thursday

What a busy and exciting term this is going to be!
Homework
All homework can now be accessed via Seesaw. Use your child’s Home Learning Code to view activities they need to complete.
A homework overview will be issued every week on Seesaw – this will be pinned at the top of your child’s journal. This includes a core piece of numeracy and and reading homework expectation for each week.
Literacy
A reading record will be posted for a month and pupils are asked to update this as they complete book tests. The reading expectations are at least 25 minutes each night. At the end of each month, the reading record will be completed by myself and sent home for families to view the progress.
Numeracy
A numeracy activity will be issued on Seesaw to be completed each week.
Thank you for your support with homework.
