Term 2

Hello!

What a busy term we are going to have in Primary 6!

We are just about to start our new book study The Nowhere Emporium by Ross McKenzie, an author from Glasgow. This book will allow P6 to embellish in the magic and wonder of a fictional story. During our writing skills lessons, we will be focussing on characterisation and up levelling our punctuation to include direct speech and commas. In addition, we will continue to develop our phonics skills through lots of decoding and encoding activities. Our class are continuing to aim to achieve 100 accelerated quizzes at 70% or above for a class reward.

During our Numeracy and Mathematics lessons, we will be developing our multiplication and division skills, and focussing on the following mathematical concepts; 3D and 2D shape, multiples, factors and prime numbers, angles, and money. It is really important that P6 play games at home to help recall times tables facts.

Our IDL topic this term is ‘Construction and Sustainability’. At the start of the topic, we will need to look at renewable energy and how we can help our climate. We will research, plan, build and present a future eco-friendly construction design. Hopefully, our Primary 6 will be the next generation to appear on Grand Designs!

We are very lucky to still have Miss McFarlane in teaching Outdoor learning and RME on a Monday afternoon and Mr Thomson, our Music specialist, in on a Wednesday. We cannot wait to showcase our work in December. Songs are from the musical ‘Oliver’.

Primary 6 will continue to keep everyone updated through X (Twitter) and our class Team.

Take care everyone!

Primary 6 and Mrs Green 🙂
