P6 A Busy Week!

This week we have been very busy with our work and activities.

We did a STEM activity with Mrs Quinn. It was planning and carrying out an egg drop. The idea was to design a safe way to drop an egg, so that it would not be damaged. Most of the eggs did not crack, so we were very pleased with our results. Also in science we revised the Water Cycle and then we used our knowledge of this subject to debug some programs, using SCRATCH, that were showing the Water Cycle process.

In maths we moved onto a new subject. We started to look at surveys and making up good questionnaires to gather information. We continued to look at using addition strategies in Number Talks.

In Spanish we were learning new vocabulary for classroom instructions and we played a game of Simon Dice (Simon Says).

We looked at the Zones of Regulation in Health and Wellbeing. With Mr Muldoon we played badminton and we were learning new skills and tactics. We also stated to learn a Scottish Country dance with our class teachers. It was Strip the Willow and we were warned that it was a bit tricky but lots of fun. We will be practising this and learning other traditional dances.

For literacy, we did a verb task, we had to recognise and underline the verbs in a sentence. We also continued with our Literacy Circles, were we focus on our reading skills.

We designed a Christmas card, an entry will be chosen from each class to go into a big national competition. Very exciting.

On Friday we started our Pope Francis Faith Award program, we looked at the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and then we looked more closely at the Gift of Knowledge .

 

 

Well done you two! A very informative report.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
