Primary 6 blog 20.4.18

This week has been a hectic week with the assembly rehearsals in full flow! The classes have been helping make props, going over lines, belting out their songs and polishing their dances and if the rehearsals are anything to go by they’re going to be fabulous!
We’ve continued with our space topic this week looking at the order of the planets. Pupils have had some great ideas for creative mnemonics to try and remember the order which are definitely unforgettable.
In reading we have been reaching the climax of Kaspar and pupils are getting tense and excited about how the story is going to finish up, with a whole host of scenarios that could be played out as to how the story ends.
In maths this week we went back in time to learn how the Mayans did maths. It was an interesting time with a completely different number system it took us a while to get our heads around but we will continue our Mayan Maths next week!
