It’s been a week of fun and challenge in P6b for Maths Week!
We’ve been looking at fractions in our mathematics learning with a particular focus on being able to find equivalence and simplification. In addition to this, we’ve been working on finding fractions of a quantity with a numerator greater than one.
Towards the end of the week, Mark from the bank came in to help the children with an exciting money-based learning activity. The children were divided into groups of four and were tasked with preparing, planning and financing a birthday party before presenting their unique and original ideas to the rest of the class. We thoroughly enjoyed this activity and Mark was really impressed with the questions the children posed to him, demonstrating a clear interest and enjoyment in the subject at hand.
In our literacy, this week, we have been continuing our learning with the rainforest. We finished our plans for our newspapers and are now in the process of writing out drafts and/or responding to marking. The newspapers are really taking shape, looking really impressive, and we hope to be writing them out good next week.
Over the course of the week, in P6b, we have been continuing our French learning. We are continuing to look at: the days of the week, the months of the year, colours and numbers. The children are really enjoying the songs and games we have been looking at within language lessons.
Before I sign off this week’s blog, I just want to say a massive thank you to all of the parents and carers who were able to make it to our ‘Meet the Teacher’ event on Thursday evening. It was a pleasure meeting you all and hearing all of the lovely learning that your children are sharing with you at home!
Everyone in P6b has been working hard and taking pleasure from their learning; please enjoy the well deserved break during the long weekend. See you all on Wednesday 19th!
Mr. Erskine
